Overnight oats are essentially a no-cook method of preparing oatmeal. By soaking rolled oats in liquid overnight, they absorb moisture and soften, resulting in a creamy texture that is both satisfying and nutritious. The origins of overnight oats can be traced back to traditional methods of preparing oatmeal, which have evolved over time into this modern meal prepping trend. This method not only enhances the flavor but also allows for the development of a range of textures and tastes, making it a favorite among many.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of choice)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup diced pineapple (fresh or canned)

1/2 cup diced mango (fresh or frozen)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

Toppings: sliced banana, chopped nuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and extra coconut flakes

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully mixed.

    Fold in the diced pineapple and mango until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

      If desired, add the shredded coconut and mix well.

        Divide the oat mixture evenly into two or three jars or containers with lids.

          Seal the containers and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to let the oats soak up the flavors and become creamy.

            In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they are too thick, add a splash of coconut milk or regular milk to reach your desired consistency.

              Top your tropical oats with sliced bananas, a handful of chopped nuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and extra coconut flakes for added flavor and crunch.

                Enjoy your delicious Tropical Paradise Overnight Oats chilled or at room temperature!
