Coconut Cream Pie Overnight Oats (Printable Version)
Creamy coconut-infused oats with pie flavors, ready overnight
# What You’ll Need:
→ Base Layer
01 - 1 cup rolled oats, gluten-free certified if required
02 - 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk from carton
03 - 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat recommended
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
→ Cream Pie Flavor Elements
06 - 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
07 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
08 - 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
→ Toppings
09 - 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
10 - 2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans or almonds
11 - Fresh banana slices for garnish
# Directions:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl or glass jar, combine rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir vigorously until all ingredients are fully incorporated and no dry pockets remain.
02 - Cover the bowl or seal the jar tightly. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow oats to absorb liquid completely and flavors to develop fully.
03 - Before serving, give the oats a thorough stir. If the mixture appears too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut milk to reach your preferred texture.
04 - Portion the oats evenly between two bowls or jars. Top each serving with toasted coconut flakes, toasted pecans or almonds, and fresh banana slices if desired. Serve immediately while chilled.
# Top Tips:
01 -
- You get that rich coconut cream pie experience without turning on your oven or spending hours in the kitchen
- Its the kind of breakfast that makes you excited to wake up, knowing something creamy and sweet is waiting in the fridge
02 -
- The first time I made these I forgot to toast the coconut flakes and honestly they were still good, but toasting takes two minutes and makes such a huge difference
- If you meal prep these on Sunday, they will last perfectly in the fridge through Wednesday, though the texture gets softer each day
03 -
- Stir the oats once halfway through the soaking time to prevent any clumping
- Use really good quality coconut milk, it makes up the bulk of the flavor profile
