About Mango Overnight Oats
Mango Overnight Oats is an easy, healthy, delicious, and filler no-cook breakfast loaded with protein, carbs, and fiber. This is an ideal meal prep breakfast or make-ahead snack that is also very easy to customize. So you can make simple changes to suit your dietary preferences.
Here rolled oats are soaked overnight in the milk (I used coconut milk), sweetener, chia seeds, and mango puree. Then in the morning, some more mango puree and fresh mango chunks are added to get the juiciest, refreshing, and tropical flavors.
In this overnight mango oats, mango puree is mixed with milk and oats. Plus, it has mango chunks, this way you get more mango flavor with every bite, and a bonus when you get a fresh mango chunk.
The texture of this overnight mango oats is so creamy and the addition of chia seeds gives it a gel and pudding-like consistency. It tastes so flavorful without any additional flavoring.
However, you can always add some additional flavors such as vanilla, almond, or coconut extract. Sweet-smelling spices such as cinnamon or cardamom can also be added to get delicate aromatic flavors. Plus, you can always top them with your favorite toppings.
The great thing about this mango oat is that you can serve it both chilled or warm as a healthy and nourishing breakfast. I generally like to relish chilled overnight oats.
If you like a warm mango-flavored oat bowl, then simply heat them in a pan along with some milk/water until you get the desired consistency. Or just heat them in a microwave.
