# What You Need:
→ Base
01 - 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
02 - 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (carton)
03 - 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
→ Cream Pie Elements
06 - 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
07 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
08 - 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
→ Toppings
09 - 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
10 - 2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans or almonds
11 - Fresh banana slices for garnish (optional)
# How-To:
01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and almond extract if using. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
02 - Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld together.
03 - Before serving, stir the oats well. If the mixture is too thick, add additional coconut milk to reach your preferred consistency.
04 - Divide the oats evenly between two bowls or jars. Top each serving with toasted coconut flakes, toasted pecans or almonds, and banana slices if desired. Serve chilled.
