Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup ripe mango (chopped or puréed)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings (Optional)
- Fresh mango pieces
- Chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, mix the rolled oats, plain Greek yogurt, milk, ripe mango (either chopped or puréed), honey or maple syrup, ground cardamom, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquids and flavors.
- Stir and Adjust Consistency: In the morning, take the oats out and give them a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top your overnight oats with fresh mango pieces and chopped pistachios if desired. Serve immediately for a refreshing and nutritious breakfast.
Notes
- You can use frozen mango instead of fresh; just thaw and blend before adding.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Adjust the sweetness according to the ripeness of your mango and personal preference.
