How to Make Exotic, Tropical Overnight Oats
These Tropical Overnight Oats are my favourite overnight oats recipe. I love the rich, smooth texture of the oats. Combined with the background of coconut and mango. The addition of passion fruit and Greek yoghurt on top give a sharp contrast.
Tropical Overnight Oats
Makes enough for two people.
- 250g light coconut milk
- 60g rolled oats
- ½ ripe banana
- 1tsp light brown sugar
- 1tsp Chia seeds
- 2tsp desiccated coconut
- 70g dried mango pieces
The Night Before.
This is easily made directly in the storage jar. I use 330ml screw top Kilner jars and this recipe just about fills the jar.
Slice the banana and place the jar with the sugar. Mash the banana with the back of a fork, the sugar will help the banana break down.
Work the coconut milk into the banana, then stir in the oats, Chia seeds, and desiccated coconut.
You may need to chop the dried mango into smaller pieces to fit onto a spoon. Stir the mango into the mix, and you’re done!
Put the lid on the jar, and place in the fridge overnight. There’s no dairy in this recipe so it should be fine in the fridge for three to four days.
Serving.
- Greek yoghurt
- Fresh mango slices
- ½ passion fruit
- Desiccated coconut
Spoon the oats into a serving dish, drop on a dollop of Greek yoghurt on top. Add some sliced fresh mango, then scoop some passion fruit seeds and juice over the top.
Add a sprinkling of desiccated coconut and serve.
Enjoy life!
