This delightful recipe combines the creaminess of coconut yogurt with the tropical sweetness of mango and the crunch of almonds, creating a breakfast that is both satisfying and refreshing. It’s a perfect balance of traditional overnight oats with a creative twist that respects dietary needs, making it gluten-free and dairy-free.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup coconut milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
• 1/2 ripe mango, diced
• 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. In a bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
2. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add maple syrup and mix until incorporated.
3. Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
4. In the morning, give the mixture a good stir and top with diced mango and sliced almonds before serving.
