Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup rolled oats
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup coconut milk
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes
- ¼ tsp matcha powder (optional)
- 2 tsp honey
- ½ tsp lime zest
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Coconut flakes (as topping)
- Graham cracker crumbs (as topping)
- Blueberries (as topping)
Instructions
- Preparation: Combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and coconut flakes in a mason jar or mixing vessel, creating a textural dry base.
- Liquid Infusion: Pour Greek yogurt, coconut milk, honey, lime juice, and lime zest into the dry ingredients, thoroughly blending until a smooth, uniform mixture emerges.
- Chilling Phase: Seal the container and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and develop a luxurious, creamy consistency.
- Garnishing: Upon serving, enhance the tropical overnight oats with an artistic sprinkle of additional coconut flakes, crumbled graham crackers, or a generous handful of fresh blueberries to elevate the sensory experience.
- Enjoyment: Relish the harmonious blend of tangy, sweet, and creamy flavors that evoke a sun-kissed morning in a tropical paradise.
Notes
- Optimize Ingredient Absorption: Allow at least 4 hours of chilling time, preferably overnight, to ensure chia seeds and oats fully hydrate and develop a creamy, luxurious texture.
- Enhance Flavor Complexity: Adjust honey quantity based on personal sweetness preference, using fresh lime zest and juice to brighten the overall tropical profile.
- Customize Texture Dynamics: Experiment with different toppings like graham crackers or coconut flakes to add delightful crunch and varied mouthfeel.
- Storage Strategy: Prepare multiple jars in advance, as this breakfast keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, making meal prep easier and more convenient.
