Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups plain yogurt (regular or coconut yogurt)
- 1 cup milk (regular or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 cup mango (plus more for garnish)
Optional Garnish
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, yogurt, milk, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cardamom. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated to form the base mixture.
- Prepare Mango Puree: Using a food processor, blender, or immersion blender, blend the 1/2 cup of mango until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no chunks.
- Mix Mango into Oats: Stir the mango puree into the oat mixture, mixing well to evenly distribute the mango flavor throughout the mixture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Divide the combined mixture into 4 individual jars or containers. Seal them with lids and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the overnight oats from the refrigerator. Before serving, garnish each jar with extra chopped mango and optionally sprinkle with chia seeds for added texture and nutrition.
Notes
- You can substitute regular yogurt and milk with vegan alternatives like coconut yogurt and almond milk to make it vegan.
- Honey can be replaced with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version.
- Adding chia seeds not only enhances texture but also boosts fiber and omega-3 content.
- This recipe can be prepared up to 2 days in advance; store refrigerated.
- Ground cardamom adds a characteristic warm spice note, but it can be adjusted or omitted according to preference.
