Triple the coconut flavor, juicy summer cherries and chia seeds are conveniently packed into mason jars overnight. This coconut cherry chia overnight oats is a go-to breakfast on a hot summer day.
The easiest summer staple.
I've had so many overnight oats all season long. Like these
Chocolate Almond Butter Overnight Oats
Mango lassi overnight oats parfait
Banana nut muffin overnight oats
Black forest cake overnight oats
But, something about the combo of coconut and cherry is magical.
Aaand, this overnight oats packs some serious coconut flavor - Oats are first toasted in coconut oil (unusual for overnight oats but this adds some serious nutty goodness) and then mixed with coconut milk and shredded coconut.
YESSSS
Why do I love this overnight oats ??
- Can't get easier than this
- Bangin' coconut flavor
- Pretttttty
- Not to mention - super healthy
- Make it vegan - sub maple syrup instead of honey
- Ready to go when I don't have any time for a sit down breakfast.
Toasting oats in coconut oil is an additional step when compared to all other overnight oats recipes that includes dump and stir methods.
- It adds more coconut goodness and healthy fats.
- The oats gets a nuttiness <--- more yummier.
So, if you are fan of overnight oats like I am or can't get enough coconut in your life then make this.
