Overnight Oats With Coconut Milk – Overnight Oats with Coconut Milk are a nutritious and convenient breakfast option. The rolled oats soak up the creamy coconut milk, resulting in a flavorful and filling breakfast that’s ready for you in the morning; customize the oats with a variety of toppings like fruit, nuts, seeds, and sweeteners for a delicious and satisfying start to your day.
BENEFITS OF COCONUT MILK
Coconut milk comes from the flesh of mature brown coconuts, and they are a tasty non-dairy alternative (especially in overnight oats). Coconut milk is also a source of healthy fat and helps reduce inflammation and fight viruses and bacteria.
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
- Oatmeal: Old-fashioned oats produce the best results, whereas steel-cut oats wind up chewy since they don’t absorb the liquid properly, and quick oats turn out mushy.
- Chia Seeds: In addition to texture, chia seeds provide protein, fiber, and healthy fat.
- Coconut Flakes: Boost coconut flavor by adding coconut flakes.
- Coconut Milk: You can use coconut milk, water, or another milk, like oat, soy, or almond milk.
- Sweetener: Sweeten the overnight oats with coconut milk using vanilla extract and maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar.
- Toppings: The toppings are optional, but I enjoy adding more coconut flakes and a drizzle of honey.
