Ingredients
Scroll down to the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and amounts.
- Oats - Use old fashioned or rolled oats for the best texture. Steel cut oats will take much longer to get softer, requires more liquid, and probably won’t be quite as soft as the rolled oats variety. They may also be more difficult to digest when eaten raw. Whereas instant oats will disintegrate into the liquid, making your dish have a mushy consistency.
- Milk - Use whole or skim milk as in Indian overnight oats recipe. Coconut or almond milk will also be a great substitute.
- Yogurt - Greek yogurt makes it thick, creamy and adds protein as in strawberry overnight oats.
- Chia Seeds - Swells up and naturally thickens the mango overnight oats.
- Sugar: White sugar, with its neutral flavor, allows the sweet taste of mango to truly stand out. While other sweeteners such as honey, maple syrup, agave, brown sugar, or jaggery can be used, they often alter the taste.
- Cardamom - Use freshly ground cardamom. Add couple of tablespoons of cardamom pods into a dry grinder, process until super fine and use ½ teaspoon for this recipe.
Pro tip: For the most flavorful Mango Overnight Oats, opt for fresh, in-season mangoes. Like for all mango recipes, frozen mangoes tend to lack the sweetness and robust flavor of those harvested at the peak of summer.

Tip: Oats will expand about 15 percent. So, use a jar that has enough room for expansion and is also easy to stir.
How to serve?
Like this coconut chia pudding, mango overnight oats is best enjoyed cold, straight from the refrigerator, topped with more chopped mango for breakfast or snack.
I like to top with more chopped mango, sweetened shredded coconut and sliced almonds before serving. Other tasty topping ideas might include:
- Sliced bananas, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cherries or pineapple to bring home the tropical flavor.
- Sprinkle toasted and chopped nuts like almonds, cashews, pistachios or hazelnuts for crunch.
How long does this last?
As mentioned in the roundup of overnight oats recipes, it's best to store overnight oats with fresh fruit for no more than 3 to 4 days. To keep them at their freshest, I recommend adding the toppings just before you're ready to enjoy your oats.
Helpful tips
- Use only rolled oats and not steel cut or instant variety.
- Use gluten-free oats to make it gluten-free.
