A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy coconut milk, fresh mango, and toasted macadamia nuts for a tropical, nourishing breakfast that’s perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup diced fresh ripe mango (about 150g)
  • 1/4 cup (35g) toasted macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Toast the macadamia nuts: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the macadamia nuts and stir frequently for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Prepare the mango: Peel and dice the fresh mango into small, bite-sized chunks. If using frozen mango, thaw slightly.
  3. Mix the base: In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and shredded coconut.
  4. Add liquids and flavorings: Pour in coconut milk, vanilla extract, lime juice, and honey or maple syrup if using. Stir well to combine.
  5. Fold in mango and nuts: Gently stir in half of the diced mango and half of the toasted macadamia nuts, reserving some for topping.
  6. Refrigerate overnight: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to soften oats and blend flavors.
  7. Serve: Stir gently in the morning, transfer to bowls or eat from the jar, and top with remaining mango and macadamia nuts.

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of coconut milk to loosen. Toast nuts carefully to avoid burning. For extra creaminess, let oats sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before refrigerating. Can substitute macadamia nuts with cashews or seeds for nut-free option. Use maple syrup for vegan version.
