Method
 

Step 1
  1. Peel and dice the fresh mango into small cubes. Set aside a few mango pieces for topping later if desired.
Step 2
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Step 3
  1. Stir the mixture thoroughly until everything is fully combined and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Step 4
  1. Fold the diced mango and shredded coconut gently into the oat mixture.
Step 5
  1. Transfer the mixture into mason jars or airtight containers.
Step 6
  1. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, though overnight chilling is recommended for the creamiest texture.
Step 7
  1. Before serving, stir the oats well. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a splash of coconut milk to loosen it slightly.
Step 8
  1. Top with extra mango, toasted coconut flakes, granola, or your favorite toppings before serving chilled.

Notes

Rolled oats work best for creamy overnight oats texture.
Use ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness and tropical flavor.
Add crunchy toppings like granola right before serving to keep them crisp.
For a dairy-free version, replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or almond yogurt.
Store overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Frozen mango can be used if fresh mango is unavailable.
Adjust sweetness depending on the ripeness of the mango.
