Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut cream
- 3/4 cup milk of choice (almond, coconut, dairy, etc.)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt. Stir these together so they are evenly distributed, creating a solid base for your oats.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in coconut cream, milk of your choice, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly to integrate everything, ensuring the coconut cream breaks up and blends with the milk to become silky smooth.
- Refrigerate overnight: Seal your container tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. This chilling time allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid, softening while thickening into a luscious pudding-like texture.
- Stir and serve: When ready, give the mixture a good stir to fluff it up and adjust consistency if needed by adding a splash of milk. Top with your favorite garnishes and enjoy the tropical flavors!
Notes
- Use good quality coconut cream for best creaminess and flavor.
- Don’t skip chia seeds as they thicken the oats and add nutrition.
- Adjust sweetness after chilling to suit your taste.
- Layer with fruit or nuts for a pretty presentation.
- Experiment with milk types to vary flavor profile.
