Coconut Cream Pie Overnight Oats (Printable)

Tropical, creamy overnight oats with coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds and toasted coconut topping.

# What You Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if needed)
02 - 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (canned or carton)
03 - ½ cup Greek yogurt (substitute coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
04 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
05 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
06 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
07 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - Pinch of salt

→ Topping

09 - 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
10 - 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers or gluten-free cookies (optional)
11 - Fresh banana slices or pineapple chunks (optional)

# Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, yogurt, shredded coconut, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - Cover the bowl or seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 to 8 hours, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and soften while the flavors meld together.
03 - The following morning, stir the oats thoroughly. If the consistency is too thick, add an extra splash of coconut milk and stir until reaching the desired texture.
04 - Divide the oats between two serving bowls or jars. Top each portion with toasted coconut flakes, crushed graham crackers, and fresh banana slices or pineapple chunks if desired. Serve chilled.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert for breakfast but fuels you with real energy that lasts until lunch.
  • Everything comes together in one bowl with no cooking and practically no cleanup.
02 -
  • Under stirring before refrigerating is the number one reason the texture turns out uneven, so really mix it well the night before.
  • Canned coconut milk will give you a noticeably thicker and more indulgent result compared to carton coconut milk, so choose based on how rich you want it.
03 -
  • Toast your own coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat for two minutes and you will never go back to the bagged stuff.
  • Layer the toppings in a clear jar so you can see the stripes of coconut, fruit, and graham cracker before eating.
