Tropical Overnight Oats
Description
Tropical Overnight Oats blend old fashioned oats with a mixture of almond milk and plain yogurt, providing a creamy base for the tropical fruits and chia seeds to hydrate overnight. Mashed banana adds natural sweetness and smoothness, while pineapple and mango chunks provide fresh or frozen tropical fruit flavors and juicy bites dispersed throughout. Chia seeds absorb liquid overnight, thickening the mixture and adding a bit of texture.
Vanilla extract complements the fruit with a gentle sweetness and aromatic note. Toasted or raw shredded coconut used as a topping adds a nutty flavor and slight crunch contrasting the soft oats. The dish is served cold, making it refreshing and easy to prepare ahead for busy mornings.
After soaking overnight, stirring before serving helps even out the consistency. Additional almond milk can be added to loosen if the oats have absorbed too much liquid and become overly thick. Topping with extra pineapple, mango, and coconut right before eating keeps textures distinct.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1/4 cup PLAIN yogurt I used Greek, but you could use almond or coconut for a non dairy option
- 1 banana mashed
- 1/2 cup pineapple chopped into bite-size chunks, frozen or fresh
- 1/2 cup Mango chopped into bite-size chunks, frozen or fresh
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons coconut toasted* or raw, unsweetened shredded or flaked
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: Add oats, almond milk, yogurt, mashed banana, 1/4 cup pineapple, 1/4 cup mango, chia seeds and vanilla into a bowl. Stir well to combine. Cover container with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight.
- Add toppings and enjoy: Take the container out of the fridge the next morning and stir the mixture. You'll notice that the oats and chia seeds soak up a lot of the liquid so you may want to add a little more almond milk before serving. Portion overnight oats into two bowls, top each with remaining pineapple and mango chunks and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of coconut. Enjoy!
Notes
- Toasting coconut flakes intensifies flavor and adds crunch but is optional; plain shredded coconut works well too.
- Use any plain yogurt, including dairy-free options like almond or coconut yogurt for non-dairy needs.
- Refrigerate oats covered overnight to allow chia seeds and oats to soften properly.
- Stir the oats well before serving and add a splash of almond milk if the mixture is too thick.
