These mango overnight oats use a flavorful mango milk to help infuse extra sweet mango lime flavor into each bite. Easy to make ahead for grab and go breakfast.

When they are in season, I keep a range of different mangos on hand at all times. Different varieties of fresh mango, dried mango for snacking, and frozen mango. And with so many options to choose from, mangos continue to find their way into just about everything I make this time of year.

On repeat, for example, I’ve been making these Mango Overnight Oats. And no we are not just stirring in a few chunks of mango in. We’re blending the mangos up in a delicious mango milk that we stir into our oats instead. It makes them extra creamy and delicious.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THESE MANGO OVERNIGHT OATS

• Customizable. Use your preferred milk and sweetener of choice when prepping. You can adjust the level of sweetness to your preference as well. Make these oats your own!

KEY INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTIONS

• Mango: You can use frozen or fresh mango. If using fresh mango, varieties like kent and ataulfo mangos are nice and sweet for this recipe.
• Rolled Oats: For the best texture, use rolled oats. To make gluten-free choose gluten-free oats. I do not recommend swapping for quick oats or steel cut oats. Instead, follow this overnight steel cut oats recipe for proper preparation.
• Milk: I like to use either soy milk for added protein or I will use oat milk or coconut milk for some added sweetness. Do note that if you use oat milk or coconut milk that the protein content of this jar will not be the same.
• Sweetener: You can use what you like! I tend to use either maple syrup or dates to sweeten my oats. If using dates, make sure they are soft. If hard, soak is some warm water for 10 minutes before blending.
• Chia Seeds: Rich in omega 3s and helps to gel the oats up as they soak. You can swap for some ground flaxseeds as an alternative.
• Lime: Helps bring out extra flavor from the mango. Use a fresh lime to get both the juice and zest.
• Yogurt: I used a plant based yogurt to keep this vegan. I tend to use Forager Project, but you can also try with a high protein yogurt option like Siggi’s Plant Based instead.
• Turmeric: This is optional, so feel free to leave this out if you don’t have it on hand. Will make the mango milk a brighter yellow and helps add some extra antioxidants to your oats.
