Coconut Pie Breakfast Oats (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
½ cup rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if needed)
02 -
⅔ cup unsweetened coconut milk (or any milk you prefer)
03 -
2 tablespoons shredded coconut
04 -
1 tablespoon chia seeds
05 -
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
06 -
2 tablespoons coconut-flavored yogurt
07 -
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
08 -
Small pinch of sea salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a jar or bowl with a tight lid and toss all your ingredients in there. Give it a good stir until everything's nicely combined and the oats are coated with the liquid.
02 -
Pop the lid on your container and stick it in the fridge. Let it sit for at least 4 hours, but overnight works best so the oats get soft and creamy.
03 -
When you're ready to eat, you can have it straight from the fridge or warm it up a bit. Top with whatever sounds good - toasted coconut, fresh berries, or sliced almonds are all delicious!
# Notes:
01 -
The original version used coconut butter instead of yogurt, but yogurt is easier to find and doesn't get hard like coconut butter does. If you have coconut butter on hand though, feel free to use a spoonful!

This recipe is naturally adaptable for different diets. Just make sure your oats say 'certified gluten-free' if you need that, and pick dairy-free yogurt and milk if you're avoiding dairy.

Want to jazz it up? Try adding sliced almonds, raisins, berries, chocolate chips, flaxmeal, protein powder, or even a bit of cocoa powder to make it your own creation.
