Coconut Cream Pie Overnight Oats (Printable)

Tropical overnight oats with coconut cream pie flavors—creamy, nutritious, and ready when you wake up.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
02 - 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (carton)
03 - 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
04 - 2 tbsp chia seeds
05 - 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey

→ Cream Pie Elements

06 - 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
07 - 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
08 - 1/4 tsp almond extract (optional)

→ Toppings

09 - 2 tbsp toasted coconut flakes
10 - 2 tbsp chopped toasted pecans or almonds
11 - Fresh banana slices (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and almond extract if using. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld together.
03 - Before serving, stir well. If the mixture is too thick, add additional coconut milk to reach desired consistency.
04 - Divide the oats between two bowls or jars. Top each serving with toasted coconut flakes, toasted pecans or almonds, and fresh banana slices if desired. Serve chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert for breakfast but keeps you full for hours thanks to the protein and fiber combo
  • You can make five jars in ten minutes and your mornings are basically handled for the entire week
  • The texture gets incredibly creamy and almost pudding-like overnight, which feels so luxurious
02 -
  • The texture changes dramatically between hour six and hour eight, so do not rush the overnight soak or you will miss that creamy, pudding-like consistency
  • Use pure vanilla extract rather than imitation because the artificial stuff gives a weird aftertaste that really shows through in something this simple
03 -
  • Give the mixture a really good stir right after you make it and again before you eat it so the chia seeds distribute evenly
  • If you are using canned coconut milk, shake the can hard before opening because the cream separates
