Coconut Overnight Oats
Great for meal prep, these overnight oats are both filling and delicious with lots of creamy coconut flavor!
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2/3 cup coconut cream
- 2/3 cup coconut milk (or favorite type of milk)
- 2 tablespoons cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Add the oats to a large storage container or bowl, then stir in chia seeds, add coconut cream, milk, cottage cheese, vanilla, and honey. Stir everything to combine, then cover with a lid and store in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Once the oats have softened and soaked up the liquid, stir everything again and spoon into individual mason jars or bowls. Serve chilled, topped with shredded coconut, fruit, granola, or plain. Store up to 5 days.
Notes
- For the coconut milk, I used Mooala coconut/oat milk. Hemp, rice milk, or regular milk are also favorites.
- For additional protein, add your favorite protein powder.
- Dairy free - Omit cottage cheese or use a coconut yogurt.
- Gluten free - Use gluten free certified oats.
- For low sodium, use a low sodium cottage cheese or omit.
- Migraine diet - Coconut is sometimes an elimination food. For plain overnight oats, substitute the coconut cream with another type of milk - it will just be less creamy.
