Coconut Overnight Oats & Seeds
Overnight oats are the ultimate make-ahead breakfast - they are quick to prep, easy to modify, and they keep you full throughout the morning. This version packs even more of the good stuff into the pre-portioned breakfast bowl, adding 2 Tbsp. of our Ginger Cardamom Seed Blend to amp up the fiber, protein and magnesium in your first meal of the day! This recipe uses coconut milk, but you can certainly substitute other milk varieties that you prefer (or happen to have in your fridge). Same goes for the raisins, if you’re not a fan just use dried cherries, cranberries or blueberries or chopped dates instead. We recommend our Ginger Cardamom Seed Blend for this recipe, but the Dark Chocolate Seed Blend would be a great addition to overnight oats as well!
Ingredients: (Makes one 10 oz. serving)
1/2 Cup Coconut Milk (unsweetened)
2 tsp. Maple Syrup
1/3 Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
2 Tbsp. Raisins (or other dried fruit)
2 Tbsp. Toasted Coconut Flakes
1/2 tsp. Chia Seeds
2 Tbsp. Ginger Cardamom Seed Blend
Pinch of Salt
Dash of Cinnamon
Additional Toasted Coconut Flakes for topping
Add coconut milk and maple syrup to a mason jar or tupperware bowl with a tight fitting lid. Stir or shake (with lid on tight!) to combine. In a separate small bowl, combine all remaining ingredients and gently mix with a spoon. Transfer dry mixture to mason jar or tupperware and stir a few times to be sure there are no dry pockets. Place the lid on top and give it another shake for good measure, then store the container in the refrigerator overnight. By morning, the oats, seeds and dried fruit will have absorbed most of the liquid and you’ll be left with a spoonable breakfast bowl!
For the best texture, we recommend eating these overnight oats the day after you prepare them (overnight, not overnights). But if you’d like to prep ahead, you can make bigger batches of the wet and dry mixtures - just be sure to keep them separate until the night before you’d like to enjoy your oats & seeds breakfast!
