Creamy coconut-cream overnight oats with chia and maple; chill overnight for a quick vegan, dairy-free breakfast.
# What You'll Need:
→ Oats & Base
01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or plant-based milk
03 - 1/2 cup coconut cream
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of sea salt
→ Toppings
08 - 1/4 cup fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
09 - 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
10 - 1 tablespoon chopped nuts such as almonds, cashews, or walnuts
11 - Extra coconut cream for drizzling
# How to Make:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl or large jar, add rolled oats, almond milk, coconut cream, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid and develop a creamy texture.
03 - Stir the oat mixture well. Add an extra splash of almond milk if a looser consistency is preferred.
04 - Divide the oats evenly between two bowls or jars. Top each with fresh berries, toasted coconut flakes, and chopped nuts. Drizzle with additional coconut cream if desired and serve chilled.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- You can assemble it the night before and wake up to breakfast already made, like a little surprise from your past self.
- The coconut cream makes everything taste like dessert, but it's nourishing and keeps you full for hours.
02 -
- Once I tried skipping the overnight chill and ended up with runny oats—plan ahead for the magic to happen.
- The coconut cream can solidify if your fridge is extra cold, so stir well before topping to get it perfectly smooth.
03 -
- If your coconut cream is too thick, whisk it with a bit of milk before adding.
- A pinch more salt than you’d expect actually brings all the flavors alive—don’t be shy.
