Overnight oats are a no-cook method of preparing oatmeal that allows the oats to soak in liquid overnight, resulting in a creamy, delicious dish by morning. The concept originated from the traditional oatmeal preparation, where oats are cooked in boiling water or milk. In contrast, overnight oats are soaked in the fridge, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and soften without heat. This method not only saves time but also helps to retain more nutrients, making overnight oats a healthier choice.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

½ ripe banana, mashed

1 tablespoon chia seeds

⅓ cup diced fresh pineapple

⅓ cup diced mango

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Coconut flakes and fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, mashed banana, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to mix all the ingredients evenly.

    Add diced pineapple and mango to the oat mixture, gently folding them in to avoid crushing the fruit.

      If you prefer a sweeter flavor, drizzle in honey or maple syrup and mix well.

        Divide the mixture evenly into two jars or containers with lids. Seal them tightly.

          Refrigerate overnight (or at least for 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.

            In the morning, stir the mixture, adding additional milk if a thinner consistency is desired.

              Top with coconut flakes and fresh mint leaves before serving for an extra tropical touch.
