Description

Cherry Coconut Overnight Oats are the perfect way to start your day with a nutritious and refreshing breakfast. The combination of sweet cherries, creamy coconut, and hearty oats creates a delicious and filling meal that’s packed with vitamins, fiber, and healthy fats.


Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk like almond or coconut)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1/2 cup fresh or frozen cherries, chopped

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for extra texture)


Instructions

  1. In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, and chia seeds (if using). Stir well to combine.
  2. Add the chopped cherries and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir again until everything is evenly mixed.
  3. If you prefer a sweeter oats base, add honey or maple syrup and stir to combine.
  4. Seal the container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats to soak and absorb the liquid.
  5. In the morning, give the oats a quick stir, and they’re ready to enjoy! You can add more fresh cherries or coconut flakes on top for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  1. Vegan: Use plant-based milk (like almond, soy, or coconut milk) and opt for a dairy-free yogurt.
  2. Add-ins: Include your favorite toppings like granola, almonds, or chia seeds for a crunchier texture.
  3. Sweetener options: You can use maple syrup, agave, or stevia as alternatives to honey for a different flavor profile.
  4. Fruit variations: Replace cherries with other fruits like blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries for a different twist.
  5. Storage: Can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. No need to reheat – just stir and enjoy.
