Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups plain yogurt (regular or coconut yogurt for a plant-based option)
- 1 cup milk (regular or plant-based)
- ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ cup mango, pureed (plus extra for garnish)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon chia seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, yogurt, milk, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cardamom. Stir until well mixed and the oats are evenly coated. - Prepare Mango Puree:
In a blender or food processor, puree the mango until smooth. This should yield about ½ cup of mango puree. - Mix Mango with Oats:
Stir the mango puree into the oat mixture, ensuring it’s evenly incorporated and the oats are fully coated in the creamy mango goodness. - Portion and Chill:
Divide the mixture evenly into 4 jars or containers. Cover with lids and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours, to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld together. - Serve and Garnish:
Before serving, top with additional chopped mango and chia seeds if desired. Enjoy cold for a refreshing tropical breakfast!
Notes
- Vegan Option: For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey and coconut or almond yogurt in place of dairy yogurt.
- Customizable Toppings: Add granola, nuts, or seeds for extra texture. You can also try other fruits like berries or pineapple for variation.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your preferred level of sweetness.
- Chia Seeds: These can be mixed into the oats for added fiber, or just sprinkled on top as a garnish.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. The oats will continue to soften as they sit.
