Enjoy a refreshing and wholesome Mango Overnight Oats recipe that’s both vegan and gluten-free. This easy-to-make breakfast features creamy coconut milk, chia seeds for added nutrition, and juicy mango chunks layered for a delightful tropical flavor. Perfect for busy mornings, it requires no cooking and can be prepared in advance and enjoyed cold, topped with toasted coconut flakes and extra mango for a satisfying start to your day.


Ingredients

Overnight Oats Base

  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 2 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup light coconut milk (or non-dairy milk of your choice)
  • ¼ cup non-dairy yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (ensure gluten-free, can substitute with coconut or almond extract)

Mango Layer and Toppings

  • ⅔ cup chopped mango (fresh or frozen), plus extra for topping
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Additional chia seeds (optional)
  • Maple syrup or honey (optional, for additional sweetness)


Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chia seeds, light coconut milk, non-dairy yogurt (if using), maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Fill Jars Halfway: Spoon the oat mixture evenly into two 8-ounce jars or containers, filling each about halfway to prepare for layering.
  3. Add Mango Layer: Layer 2 tablespoons of chopped mango into each jar on top of the oat mixture, then add the remaining oat mixture on top. Finally, place additional mango pieces as a topping in each jar. Secure lids tightly or cover jars with plastic wrap.
  4. Refrigerate: Place the jars in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Before serving, stir in toasted coconut flakes, more mango chunks, and additional sweetener such as maple syrup or honey if desired, for enhanced flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use any non-dairy milk preferred, such as almond, oat, or soy milk, to customize the flavor and texture.
  • Non-dairy yogurt is optional but adds extra creaminess to the oats.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them great for meal prep.
  • Replace mango with other fresh or frozen fruits if desired, like berries or peaches.
  • For a non-vegan option, honey can be used instead of maple syrup.
