What are Mango Overnight Oats
Simply put, mango coconut overnight oats are one of the creamiest ways to create this breakfast sensation! It’s rolled oats, sweetened by mango, and made rich and yummy with coconut milk that makes it all work.
The results are a super delectable, energizing, and satisfying vegan breakfast, workout meal, or on-the-go snack. Best of all, it’s effortlessly made overnight in the fridge while you sleep!
While you can use your milk of choice, coconut milk is the island flavor that goes hand in hand with mango and makes the recipe creamy. I’ve tried other plant-based milks, and it’s not the same without coconut milk.
What Mango to Use for mango coconut overnight oats?
Yellow mango. This is also known as Manila mango, Philippine mango, golden mango, or Ataulfo mango.
Philippines is known for having the best mangos in the world (yep, I said that!). That is, if you love a creamy and rich, very ripe mango. They are truly gems when it comes to making mango sago, mango bango, mango dessert, fruit floats, mango ice cream, and mango desserts and baked goods all around.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats – Rolled oats have the right consistency for overnight oats. Don’t use quick or steel for this recipe.
- 1/2 cup regular coconut milk (or your preferred plant-based milk) – Use regular, full fat, quality coconut milk.
- 1/2 plant based milk of choice – almond, oat, soy; This compliments the coconut milk and reduces the fat content
- 1 ripe yellow mango – small diced pieces
- 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup or agave (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Toppings: additional mango, shredded coconut, nuts, or seeds
Equipment

- Soak Overnight: Allow the oats to soak in the fridge overnight, or for at least 6 hours, until they are creamy and have absorbed the liquid.

Notes
- For the best flavor, make sure to use ripe mango. The sweetness and creaminess of a ripe mango elevate the dish.
- Adjust the level of sweetness to your preference by adding more or less maple syrup or agave. If the mango is very ripe, you might find you need less sweetener.
- If you’re using quick oats, the texture may not be as creamy as rolled oats, so stick to rolled oats for optimal results.
- If you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Add-Ins and Variations
- Nut Butter: Stir in a tablespoon of almond butter, peanut butter, or cashew butter for a protein boost and added creaminess.
- Spices: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm flavor that pairs well with mango.
- Seeds: Consider adding sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or flaxseeds for an extra crunch and nutrition boost.
- Fruit Variations: Substitute mango with other fruits like peaches, pineapple, or berries for a different flavor profile.
- Coconut Yogurt: Mix in a dollop of coconut yogurt or greek yogurt for additional creaminess and flavor.
- Chia Pudding Layer: Create a layered effect by adding a layer of chia pudding made with coconut milk at the bottom of your jar before adding the mango oats.
- Chocolate: For chocolate lovers, add cocoa powder or chocolate chips to the mix for a decadent twist.
