🥣 What are Overnight Oats?

Overnight oats are basically rolled oats soaked in milk overnight. Instead of cooking them on the stove like regular oatmeal, you just eat them raw after soaking. This soaking trick makes the oats soft and gooey, like porridge. It’s like a no-cook oatmeal hack that’s super easy for meal prep.

🥄 Ingredient Notes

These mango oats are made with just 9 ingredients plus any toppings you like. This recipe is great for meal prep, budget-friendly, and ready in 15 minutes. Here’s a quick rundown – find the recipe with the measurements in the recipe card below.

Rolled oats – To make overnight oats a success, use rolled oats or quick-cooking oats. Steel-cut oats or oat groats will not be a good option for this recipe.
Mango – Fresh or frozen mango works great in this recipe. The honey or champagne mango is my favorite (less stringy), but any mango can be sued for this recipe.
Coconut milk – Unsweetened, full-fat coconut milk is the key to a tropical and creamy texture.
Water – A bit of water will help the blender dilute the full-fat coconut milk a bit.
Lime juice – Fresh lime juice will brighten the coconut flavors and give this recipe a zesty and fresh twist.
Maple syrup – Adds a bit of natural sweetness to the oats and keeps it refined sugar-free.
Vanilla extract – To complement the sweetness of the mango.
Ground flax seeds – Ground flax seeds can (just like chia seeds) absorb and thicken the oats. Flax seeds also add a dose of healthy omegas.
Salt – To bring out the natural sweetness of the ingredients and enhance the flavors.
Ground cardamom– To infuse a distinctive and aromatic flavor. Cardamom uniquely blends citrusy, herbal, and slightly sweet notes. It adds a subtle warmth that pairs well with the fruity and creamy elements of the oats.

📔 Tips

To save time in the morning, you can prepare multiple servings of mango overnight oats.
Make your own freshly ground flax seeds. This is a cheaper option and ensures you always have fresh ground flax seeds available. To a dry blender, add flaxseeds and pulse until you have ground flax seeds. Make smaller batches and store them in the fridge, as flax seeds can go rancid a bit faster than for example chia seeds.
Frozen mango is a great and budget-friendly way to enjoy mango overnight oats whenever you want.
Want to bump up the protein in your overnight oats? Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the blender with a few tablespoons of plant-based milk or water. Also, if your protein powder is sweetened, you may want to skip the maple syrup in this recipe.

🥣 Substitutions and Variations

The beauty of overnight oats lies in their versatility, and there are numerous ways to customize this recipe. Here are some vegan-friendly variations and additions:

Gluten-free: use gluten-free certified oats. Oats are gluten-free but can be cross-contaminated with gluten.
Coconut-free: if you can’t use coconut milk, use any other plant-based milk. The creamier ones, such as soy, hemp, and oat milk, are some good options.
Flax seeds substitution: this recipe is without chia seeds, but if you want to use chia seeds, feel free to replace the ground flax seeds with an equal amount of chia seeds.

🥣 Serving Suggestions

Overnight oats are a great, easy, and nutritious breakfast option that’s perfect for meal prep, traveling, or a quick snack.

A delicious bowl of cool and creamy oats can be served with endless toppings. A few options are cacao nibs, hemp seeds, coconut flakes, date- or maple syrup, peanut butter, chopped pistachios or almonds, and of course, a good dollop of (coconut) yogurt.

❔ How to Store Mango Overnight Oats

Overnight oats keep in the fridge for up to 4 days, depending on the freshness of the mango.
It is best to store overnight oats in a glass container or jar with a lid, such as a weck jar or mason jar.
This recipe is served cold, but if you prefer warm oats, you can heat them on the stove with some extra plant-based milk or water or microwave them in short bursts until warm.
I don’t recommend freezing overnight oats, especially when using mango that has been frozen before.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best fruit to put in overnight oats?

This totally depends on you! Any fruit can be put in an overnight oats recipe if you ask me.

Are overnight oats still healthy?

Overnight oats are a nourishing breakfast option. They provide a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. If you add healthy ingredients such as fruits, nuts, and seeds, you can further enhance the nutritional value.

Can you put fruit in overnight oats overnight?

Absolutely! Just like any other fruit, mangoes are a delicious addition to overnight oats. They add natural sweetness and a tropical flavor that pairs perfectly with creamy oats.

However, some fruits, like bananas, may become softer overnight, so consider adding them just before serving for a firmer texture.

What not to add in overnight oats?

Toppings and fruits that will brown quickly are better added right before serving. Also, steel-cut oats are not a good option to add to overnight oats as they will not soften.
