Coconut Cream Pie Overnight Oats (Printable)
Tropical overnight oats with creamy coconut flavors and crunchy toasted toppings.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 - 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
02 - 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (carton)
03 - 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 tbsp chia seeds
05 - 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
→ Cream Pie Elements
06 - 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
07 - 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
08 - 1/4 tsp almond extract (optional)
→ Toppings
09 - 2 tbsp toasted coconut flakes
10 - 2 tbsp chopped toasted pecans or almonds
11 - Fresh banana slices
# Directions:
01 - In a medium bowl or jar, add rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and almond extract if using. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to soften completely and flavors to meld together.
03 - Before serving, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture appears too thick, add additional coconut milk 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
04 - Divide the overnight oats evenly between two bowls or jars. Top each serving with toasted coconut flakes, chopped toasted pecans or almonds, and fresh banana slices if desired. Serve chilled.
# Cooking Tips:
01 -
- You get dessert for breakfast without any of the guilt or morning prep time
- The texture transforms overnight into something impossibly creamy like coconut custard
02 -
- Saving a tablespoon of toasted coconut to sprinkle right before eating makes a huge difference in texture
- These keep perfectly for three days so you can meal prep without losing any quality
03 -
- Let your jar sit on the counter for 10 minutes before eating to take the chill off
- A pinch of sea salt on top creates this salted caramel effect that is absolutely worth trying
