Mango Overnight Oats

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 school or work.  

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 ready when you wake up.

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

Ingredient notes

Oats - Use old-fashioned (rolled) oats in this mango overnight oats recipe, quick-cooking may be too mushy, and the recipe has not been tested with steel-cut oats.

Mango - Fresh or frozen can be used.  If using frozen mango, let it 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 ready to go for overnight oats.

Dairy-Free Milk - The oats soak in the milk overnight making them soft.  Any dairy-free milk can be used.

Flax Seed - Ground flaxseed will thicken up the oats and can be substituted with chia seeds.  If you do substitute 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 mangoes 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.

Toppings suggestions

• Toasted shredded coconut
• Coconut yogurt
• Slivered almonds
• Sliced banana
• Berries

For meal prepping

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, after you let it thaw, dice it into small bite-size pieces.
• Fresh ripe mango may be sweet enough to not need the maple syrup, adjust for your own sweet 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 jars, any 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.
