Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened coconut milk (carton style)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
Coconut Mix-ins & Toppings
- 1/3 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1/4 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and coconut extract if using. Mix until the mixture becomes well combined and creamy.
- Add Shredded Coconut: Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut carefully to distribute it evenly throughout the oat mixture.
- Divide and Refrigerate: Divide the oat mixture evenly into two jars or airtight containers. Cover them securely and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken to a creamy consistency.
- Prepare to Serve: Before serving, stir the oats well to recombine any separated ingredients. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream, if using, and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes to enhance the coconut cream pie flavor. Serve chilled for a refreshing breakfast.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut yogurt for Greek yogurt and omit whipped cream or use a dairy-free whipped topping.
- Add sliced bananas for extra creaminess and natural sweetness.
- These oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them ideal for meal prep.
