Description
A delicious and nutritious way to start your day with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey, if not vegan)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- Pinch of sea salt
- Fresh fruit for topping (such as banana slices, mango, or berries)
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a mason jar or medium bowl, stir together the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, shredded coconut, and a pinch of sea salt. The chia seeds will help thicken the mixture overnight, giving it that signature pudding-like texture.
- Add the liquids: Pour in the unsweetened coconut milk and maple syrup. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly combined. The oats will absorb the liquid slowly, so don’t worry if it seems a bit runny at first.
- Let it rest: Cover the jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator overnight—or for at least 4 hours. By morning, your oats will be soft, creamy, and ready to enjoy.
- Top and serve: When you’re ready to eat, give the oats a quick stir. Add your favorite toppings—sliced banana, chopped mango, or a few berries for color and brightness. You can even sprinkle a little more shredded coconut or a spoonful of nut butter for extra richness.
Notes
- Adjust sweetener based on personal preference.
