A creamy, dreamy vegan overnight oats recipe featuring coconut cream and chia seeds for a quick, healthy, and indulgent breakfast that’s ready in the morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons (20 g) chia seeds
  • ½ cup (120 ml) coconut cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: sliced bananas, fresh berries, shredded coconut, chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl or mason jar, add 1 cup (90 g) old-fashioned rolled oats and 2 tablespoons (20 g) chia seeds. Stir briefly to combine.
  2. Pour in ½ cup (120 ml) coconut cream and 1 cup (240 ml) plant-based milk of your choice. Stir well until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the fridge overnight (or at least 6 hours).
  5. In the morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a splash of plant milk to loosen.
  6. Top with your choice of fresh fruits like banana slices or berries, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts.
  7. Enjoy chilled straight from the jar or spooned into a bowl.

Notes

Use rolled oats, not instant, for best texture. Stir well before refrigerating to avoid chia seed clumps. If coconut cream is too solid, soften at room temperature or whisk before mixing. Add toppings fresh to avoid sogginess. Can be stored in fridge up to 3 days; add plant milk before eating if too thick.
