Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Tropical toppings: diced mango, sliced kiwi, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix rolled oats, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into two jars or containers and seal tightly.
- Refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir and adjust consistency with more coconut milk if desired.
- Top with diced mango, sliced kiwi, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts before serving.
Notes
Storage: These overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Add toppings just before eating to keep them fresh and vibrant.
For optimal creaminess, use full-fat coconut milk; however, light coconut milk works well if you’re aiming for a lower-calorie option. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, consider adding a touch of honey or maple syrup to the mixture.
Feel free to substitute the lime with lemon for a different citrus twist. When storing, keep the fruit toppings separate until you’re ready to eat to maintain their freshness.
