Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
Flavorings & Sweeteners
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional Toppings
- 1/2 cup sliced bananas
- Fresh whipped cream
- Additional shredded coconut for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add Bananas: If desired, gently fold in the sliced bananas to introduce natural sweetness and texture without breaking them apart.
- Divide and Store: Evenly divide the oat mixture into two jars or containers with secure lids to prepare individual servings.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the containers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, allowing the oats to soak and soften, absorbing the flavors.
- Serve and Garnish: Before eating, stir the oats well. Top each serving with fresh whipped cream and additional shredded coconut if desired to enhance the coconut cream pie experience.
Notes
- You can substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt to make the recipe vegan.
- Using canned coconut milk will result in a creamier texture compared to carton varieties.
- Adjust the sweetness level by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey to taste.
- For a nuttier flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of toasted coconut or chopped nuts as garnish.
- These oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them ideal for meal prep.
