Ingredients in mango overnight oats

• Oats: Rolled oats are best for overnight oatmeal because they are steamed and flattened. Don’t use steel cut or instant oats.
• Milk: Use any type of milk, whether it’s non-dairy or dairy. I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
• Yogurt: This ingredient is optional, but it will make the oats extra creamy. You can use non-dairy or dairy yogurt. I love vanilla coconut milk for this particular recipe.
• Mango: Mango adds a sweet, fruity, and tropical flavor. They are a great source of Vitamin A, C, and K.
• Almond butter: Add a boost of healthy fats with almond butter or your favorite nut butter (such as peanut butter or cashew butter).
• Maple syrup: These oats are naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Alternatively, you can use honey, agave nectar, or coconut sugar.
• Chia seeds: Chia seeds are great for digestion and packed with omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, since they expand while soaking, they help create a creamy texture.
• Vanilla extract: Vanilla creates a sweeter flavor.
• Salt: A pinch of salt enhances all of the other ingredients.

For the full ingredient measurements and step-by-step instructions, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

First, add rolled oats, milk, yogurt (optional), mango, almond butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt to a jar. Mix the ingredients together, then seal with a lid.

Next, store the oats in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 4 hours).

The next morning (or whenever you are ready to eat), remove the lid and stir the oats. If desired, add a splash of milk to thin the consistency.

Enjoy the oats directly out of the jar or transfer them to a bowl. Add any toppings of your choosing, like mango, almond butter, and granola. Enjoy!
