Coconut Cream Pie Overnight Oats (Printable)

Make-ahead coconut cream pie–style overnight oats with coconut milk, yogurt, chia, and toasted coconut.

# What You Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
02 - 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (canned or carton)
03 - ½ cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free version)
04 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
05 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
06 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
07 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - Pinch of salt

→ Topping

09 - 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
10 - 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers or gluten-free cookies (optional)
11 - Fresh banana slices or pineapple chunks (optional)

# How-To:

01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, yogurt, shredded coconut, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
02 - Cover the bowl or seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 to 8 hours, allowing the oats to soften and the flavors to meld together.
03 - The following morning, stir the oats thoroughly. If the consistency is too thick, add an extra splash of coconut milk and stir again until the desired texture is reached.
04 - Divide the oats into two servings and top each with toasted coconut flakes, crushed graham crackers, and fresh banana slices or pineapple chunks if desired. Serve chilled.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert for breakfast but leaves you feeling energized rather than sluggish.
  • You can prep two jars in under ten minutes and wake up to something that feels genuinely special.
02 -
  • Chia seeds clump if you do not stir well initially, so take an extra ten seconds to mix thoroughly.
  • The oats will continue thickening in the fridge, so day two and three portions may need a little more liquid.
03 -
  • Toast your own coconut flakes in a dry skillet for two minutes and you will never go back to the bagged version.
  • Layer the toppings right before eating rather than the night before to keep everything textured and fresh.
