Why you'll love Coconut Milk Overnight Oats:
The secret to the creamiest overnight oats = canned coconut milk!
This recipe is barely a recipe. Just throw all the ingredients into a jar, shake and refrigerate. Doesn't get easier than that!
The recipe is customizable. Use whatever fruit you have on hand to replace the strawberries.
Is coconut milk the same as canned coconut milk?
No, typically coconut milk in the refrigerated section or in a carton is diluted with water. It's not as creamy as the canned version. Stick with canned coconut milk for this recipe.
Use unsweetened canned light/lite coconut milk in this recipe. Some coconut milk cans say light and some say lite. It's the same thing either way.
I don't recommend using canned full-fat coconut milk. The light is creamy enough without being heavy. The full-fat might be too rich.
Ingredients:
- old fashioned rolled oats - Use gluten free if necessary.
- shredded unsweetened coconut
- ground flax seed - You can also use chia seeds instead.
- salt
- unsweetened canned light/lite coconut milk
