Coconut Cream Pie Overnight Oats (Printable)
Creamy tropical overnight oats infused with coconut cream pie flavors—perfect for effortless meal prep breakfasts.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Base Layer
01 - 1 cup rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if required)
02 - 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (carton variety)
03 - 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (substitute coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
→ Cream Pie Elements
06 - 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
07 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
08 - 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
→ Toppings
09 - 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
10 - 2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans or almonds
11 - Fresh banana slices (optional)
# Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl or mason jar, add rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and almond extract if using. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - Cover the container tightly and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours, ideally overnight. This allows the oats to soften completely and the flavors to develop fully.
03 - Remove from refrigeration and stir well. If the mixture appears too thick, add additional coconut milk 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
04 - Divide the oat mixture evenly between two serving bowls or jars. Top each portion with toasted coconut flakes, chopped toasted pecans or almonds, and fresh banana slices if desired.
05 - Serve immediately while cold. No additional heating required.
