Coconut milk overnight oats are creamy, refreshing, and packed with tropical flavor. This no-cook breakfast combines rolled oats with rich coconut milk, chia seeds, and natural sweeteners for a satisfying, make-ahead meal perfect for busy mornings.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat or light)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • 12 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh fruit (mango, pineapple, banana, berries), shredded coconut, nuts/seeds, nut butter, dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container, combine rolled oats, coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
  3. In the morning, stir again and adjust thickness with a splash of coconut milk or water if needed.
  4. Add your favorite toppings such as fruit, shredded coconut, or nut butter before serving.

Notes

Use canned coconut milk for the creamiest results, or carton coconut milk for a lighter version.Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add omega-3s but are optional.Customize with tropical, chocolate, berry, or spiced variations.Best enjoyed cold but can be warmed in the microwave if preferred.
