    Creamy mango overnight oats with a twist!  We’re adding allspice and cinnamon for some extra flavor to these healthy and nutritious oats.  They’re perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast for busy mornings.

    Add some toppings to make it fancy or eat it as is.  Coconut yogurt makes it even creamier and toasted coconut flakes add a more tropical flavor.  The best part is that breakfast is already made when you wake up.

    For more overnight oatmeal recipes with fruit, try overnight oats with frozen berries, cherry almond overnight oats, vegan strawberry overnight oats, raspberry overnight oats, or blueberry cheesecake overnight oats. With all of these recipes, you can use fresh or frozen fruit.

    Recipe features

    • The recipe is meal prep friendly so you can have breakfast ready for the next morning.
    • It's an easy breakfast recipe and only takes a few minutes to whip up!
    • It's customizable, add your favorite toppings to change things up! 

    Ingredient notes

    Old-fashioned oats - Use rolled oats in this mango overnight oats recipe, quick-cooking oats may be too mushy, and the recipe has not been tested with steel-cut oats.  If you need steel-cut oat recipes, try apple steel-cut oats, banana steel-cut oats, or pumpkin steel-cut oatmeal.  Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.

    Mango - Fresh or frozen mango can be used.  If using frozen mangoes, let them thaw.  Then if there are large chunks cut them into small bite-size pieces. 

    Depending on your store, frozen mango can be cheaper than fresh mango.  Also, you don’t have to worry about it being ripe, and it can be kept in the freezer to always have mango on hand for overnight oats. For more mango breakfast recipes try chia breakfast bowl or mango oatmeal.

    Dairy-Free Milk - The oats soak in the milk overnight making them soft.  Any dairy-free milk can be used, try it with almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.

    Flax Seeds - Ground flaxseed will thicken up the oats and can be substituted with chia seeds.  If you do replace it with chia seeds, one tablespoon was a little too much chia for me, so I would reduce it to 1 or 2 teaspoons.

    Maple Syrup - This can be substituted with any sweetener and if your mangos are super sweet it can be left out.  Adjust for your own sweetness preference.

    Ground Allspice and Cinnamon - The spices add a little more flavor to complement the mango.

    Topping suggestions

    • Toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
    • Coconut yogurt or any non-dairy yogurt
    • Slivered almonds or pumpkin seeds
    • Sliced banana
    • Berries
    • Mango chunks

    Variations

    The creamy overnight oats are delicious as they are, but if you want to change things up here are a few suggestions.

    • Try adding a tablespoon of cashew or almond butter
    • Add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
    • Blend the mangos, milk, and maple syrup together to make mango milk like in this recipe for vegan strawberry overnight oats.  The method infuses every bite with tropical flavors. 
    • For a coconut mango flavor, use coconut milk. 

    How to make this mango oatmeal recipe

    1. Mix all the ingredients in a jar or individual containers with a lid (except toppings).  
    2. Cover and let it sit in the refrigerator for about two hours (or overnight) to thicken.
    3. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of plant-based milk before serving.
    4. Give the oats a good stir and top them with coconut flakes, coconut yogurt, slivered almonds, or leave them as is.

    Meal prep

    The overnight oatmeal is perfect for meal prep and great for a healthy breakfast option. 

    Option 1: Add as many servings as needed to a large bowl with a lid, keep it in that container overnight, and don’t portion it out before it thickens up (the milk to oats ratio gets messed up). Once it's thickened and ready to consume, scoop out the desired portion.

    Option 2: Mix the individual servings in separate jars or small containers with lids.  The jars will also be used as serving dishes.

    Tips

    • If you're using frozen mango in this overnight oat recipe, dice it into small bite-size pieces after you let it thaw.
    • Fresh ripe mango may be sweet enough not to need the maple syrup, adjust for your sweetness preference.
    • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of milk before serving.
    • The recipe is for just one serving, but it can easily be doubled or tripled.  

    Containers for overnight oats

    Your mango oats don’t have to be stored in mason jars, any airtight container with a lid will work.  I use 16-ounce peanut butter jars; when we’re done with the peanut butter they get washed out and labels removed.  They work great for individual portion sizes and they come with a lid. 

    Frequently asked questions

    How Long Will Overnight Oats Last?

    Overnight oats with fruit will last about 2-3 days in the fridge versus non-fruit overnight oats which can last about 5-6 days in the fridge.  To get around that, prep the oats without the fruit, then add the fruit the night before or the morning of.

    Do I Have to Soak Overnight Oats Overnight?

    No, you do not have to soak overnight oats overnight. They should be good after 2-3 hours of soaking, but it does give the oatmeal more time to soften and soak up the milk.

    What to serve with mango oatmeal?

    I pair the oats with a banana or another piece of fruit.  They can also be eaten with avocado toast or check out this post for sweet and savory vegan toast ideas.

    Are overnight oats eaten warm or cold?

    The oatmeal can be eaten warm or cold.  If you prefer your oats warm, heat them in the microwave for about 1 minute.  I would place the oatmeal in a heat-proof bowl with room for the oats to expand.  Sometimes oatmeal will bubble up while being heated in the microwave.
