Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup diced pineapple
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and coconut milk, stirring thoroughly to ensure all oats are evenly coated and moistened.
- Add honey to the oat mixture and mix well, allowing the sweetener to distribute evenly throughout the ingredients.
- Gently fold in the diced pineapple, ensuring the fruit is well integrated into the oat mixture.
- Sprinkle shredded coconut over the top of the mixture, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a sealed container with a lid.
- Place the prepared oats in the refrigerator and allow to chill and set overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours.
- Before serving, give the overnight oats a gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients and ensure a creamy consistency.
- Optional: Top with additional fresh pineapple chunks and a sprinkle of shredded coconut for extra texture and visual appeal.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator and enjoy your tropical breakfast treat.
Tips
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier texture that truly captures the tropical essence.
- For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
- Experiment with different tropical fruits like mango or passion fruit for variety.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, replace honey with a splash of maple syrup or use stevia.
- Prep multiple servings in advance for quick grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
- Toast the shredded coconut lightly before adding for an enhanced nutty flavor.
- Allow the oats to sit for the full 8 hours to achieve the perfect creamy consistency.
