Healthy Coconut Cream Overnight Oats (Printable)
Creamy overnight oats soaked in coconut cream, chia, and maple, topped with berries and toasted coconut.
# What You'll Need:
→ Oats & Base
01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or alternative plant-based milk
03 - 1/2 cup coconut cream
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of sea salt
→ Toppings (optional)
08 - 1/4 cup fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
09 - 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
10 - 1 tablespoon chopped almonds, cashews, or walnuts
11 - Extra coconut cream for drizzling
# How To Make:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl or large jar, add rolled oats, almond milk, coconut cream, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir thoroughly until homogenous.
02 - Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and achieve a creamy texture.
03 - Upon serving, mix the oats to loosen the consistency. For a lighter texture, incorporate an additional splash of almond milk as needed.
04 - Divide the oats evenly between two bowls or jars. Top each portion with fresh berries, toasted coconut flakes, and chopped nuts. Drizzle with additional coconut cream if desired and serve chilled.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You can prep it in less than 10 minutes and let the fridge work its magic overnight.
- The creamy coconut-vanilla flavor feels totally indulgent, yet every bite is packed with real, nourishing ingredients.
02 -
- If you skip the overnight chill, you’ll end up with crunchy oats and runny liquid–patience really pays off here.
- Letting the coconut cream come to room temperature before mixing prevents stubborn lumps from forming in your oats.
03 -
- Mix thoroughly before chilling to avoid clumps of chia or coconut cream.
- Resist stirring in all your toppings at once–add them fresh when serving for optimal texture.
