    Why you’ll love this recipe:

    This is a nourishing, satisfying breakfast that takes just a few minutes to prepare the night before.

    In the morning, you will be so pleased that you have a breakfast which is ready to enjoy, or you can take with you. 

    You will love these Mango Overnight Oats because:

    • They are quickly and easily prepared from ingredients that are readily available.
    • You can customise the recipe to suit your taste and dietary requirements.
    • They are ideal for meal prep – they’ll last for three days in the fridge, so you can get a head start on your breakfast for the week ahead.
    • You can adjust the quantities to your needs – the written recipe serves two, but it can easily be halved or doubled depending on how many people you want to serve.
    • This recipe is so versatile – customise the toppings to your liking. Add coconut, nuts or yoghurt or just enjoy it as is.
    • It is a nourishing breakfast that will keep you satisfied longer.

    Ingredients in this recipe:

    Please see the recipe card further along in the post for exact quantities of ingredients and the full method.

    Ingredients in this recipe on a white marble background.

    Rolled oats – we use old-fashioned Rolled Oats.  They are a complex carbohydrate, providing healthy dietary fibre. 

    Milk – use milk of your preference. I like to use almond or oat milk, but soy milk works just fine. You can use dairy milk if you don’t need the oats to be vegan.

    Mango – adds sweet, tropical aroma and flavour. You can use fresh or frozen.

    Chia seeds – these little seeds are a nutritional powerhouse being a complete protein, a good source of omega-3 fatty acids as well as being rich in dietary fibre. You can use black or white. The chia seeds help to bind the mixture together.

    Maple syrup – to add light sweetness, use pure maple syrup.

    Vanilla – for the best flavour, use vanilla naturally extracted from the vanilla bean and not one synthetically flavoured.

    How to Make Mango Overnight Oats:

    Please see the recipe card further along in the post for exact quantities of ingredients and the full method.

    Steps 1-2 of preparing this recipe - the pureed mango and combining all of the ingredients for the oats in a white bowl.

    1 – Puree the mango:
    Add the peeled mango pieces to a small blender and puree until smooth.

    2 – Add all ingredients to a bowl:
    Add the mango puree, rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, maple syrup and vanilla to a bowl.

    Steps 3-4 of preparing this recipe - the overnight oat mixture combined in a bowl and the mixture in a glass jar.

    3 – Stir to combine:
    Mix well until everything is combined.

    4 – Refrigerate:
    Cover the bowl with cling wrap, or portion the mixture into jars or glasses. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

    In the morning, stir well and top with yoghurt, more mango and toasted coconut flakes.

    Tips for success and FAQs:

    These Mango Overnight Oats are quickly and easily prepared. The sweet, tropical flavour of mango shines in this delicious, nutritious breakfast.

    How long will the Mango Overnight Oats last?

    For the best flavour and texture, we recommend that you store them covered in the fridge and enjoy them within three days.

    How long do the oats have to be in the fridge before they’re ready to consume?

    For the best result, they should be refrigerated for at least 6 hours. Make them just before bed, and they are perfect in the morning!

    How should I select a mango?

    Do not select the mango by its colour – that is not an indicator of ripeness as mango varieties come in a range of colours. The best way to tell is to squeeze the mango gently; when ripe, it should give slightly. It should also be sweetly aromatic near the stem end.

    Can I use frozen mango?

    Yes, you can. Defrost the mango before pureeing.

    Variations and substitutions:

    Mango – you can use fresh or frozen mango. 
     
    Milk – use a milk of your choice in this recipe. I like to use almond or oat milk, but soy milk works just fine as does dairy milk.
     
    Maple syrup – you could also use honey. As it doesn’t blend as readily as maple syrup, add it to the blender when pureeing the mango.
     
    Spice – you could add ground cinnamon or nutmeg – they both pair well with mango.

    Serving suggestions:

    One of my favourite parts of making a batch of these tropical Overnight Oats is customising the toppings!

    For this recipe, I like to use a topping of Greek yoghurt and toasted coconut flakes.

    You could also try:

    • Chopped walnuts or almonds.
    • Coconut yoghurt – to keep the recipe vegan.
    • A dusting of ground cinnamon or nutmeg.
    • Additional pieces of mango.

    You will love the ease of preparation and tropical flavour in these Mango Overnight Oats. They are certain to become your favourite healthy breakfast.
