Ingredients You’ll Need
- Rolled Oats: I prefer rolled oats because they soften perfectly overnight. Quick oats work too, but avoid steel-cut oats—they need cooking to taste good. Ensure your oats are fresh, as expired ones can make your recipe taste bitter (trust me, I’ve been there!).
- Almond Milk: Almond milk is a great option, but any non-dairy milk works well. It helps soften the oats and adds flavor without overpowering the dish.
- Vanilla Vegan Yogurt: This is a game-changer! It adds the perfect tangy flavor and creaminess, making your oats taste even more delicious.
- Chia Seeds: These tiny seeds not only add texture but also thicken the oats to a nice, pudding-like consistency.
- Maple Syrup: The best natural sweetener for overnight oats. Since mangoes are already sweet, just a small splash is all you need.
- Mango: You can use fresh or frozen mango, but if it's mango season, go for the fresh ones—they taste far better.
- Sunflower Seeds (for garnish): Sunflower seeds add a nice crunch, but feel free to use any seeds or nuts you prefer for garnish!
How to Make Mango Overnight Oats
To make these overnight oats with mango follow this two-step process.
Combine: In a mason jar or bowl, combine the oats, mango chunks, vanilla yogurt, chia seeds, almond milk, and maple syrup. Stir until well mixed to form the base.
Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to let the oats soften and the chia seeds thicken the mix.
Serve: In the morning, stir the oats. If needed, add a splash of almond milk or more vanilla yogurt. Top with extra mango and sunflower seeds, or any toppings you like!
Quick Tips
