⭐ Why this recipe is so good

So creamy they feel like dessert. Letting oats soak in milk makes them go so creamy and smooth. So delicious it feels like eating dessert!

The perfect sweetness. The mix of mango and maple syrup is fresh, with the right amount of sweetness. Of course, add a touch more maple syrup if you have a sweet tooth! If you love mango for breakfast, there's also my tasty mango apple smoothie to try out!

Meal prep idea. All we have to do is puree the mango, then it's just a case of combining the ingredients and letting them soak for a bit.

🥭 Ingredients

individually labelled ingredients to make mango chia overnight oats including non-dairy milk, maple syrup and chia seeds.

A few notes on some of the ingredients. All are listed in the recipe card below, along with quantities required.

  • Mango - I suggest using fresh mango for this recipe, or frozen that has been slightly thawed. This is to help puree the fruit more easily.
  • Oats - you want to use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than the finer powder-like oats or steel cut oats. Use gluten free if required.
  • Chia seeds - you want to use whole raw chia seeds rather than milled chia for this recipe.
  • Non-dairy milk - use the type that suits you best, but using coconut milk (the pouring kind, not from a can) would up the coconut flavour!

📖 Swaps and substitutions

Use the type of non-dairy milk that suits you best. My low histamine readers will want to use the type most suitable for them.

Swap maple syrup for honey. Both work well, so you can use whichever is to hand in your pantry!

Increase the amount of sweetener to taste. If you have a sweet tooth you may wish to add another teaspoon (or more!) of the maple syrup.

🔪 Step by step instructions

A super simple recipe, these mango chia overnight oats are made without yogurt, but are still creamy and delicious. Just a few steps to make:

mango puree in a blender labelled number one.
oats and milk in a glass jar with a spoon in it labelled number two.

Step 1

Add the mango to a blender and blend to a thick puree (image 1). It should only take ten seconds or so.

Step 2

Pour the non-dairy milk into a container that can be sealed, then tip in the rolled oats. Stir well to combine (image 2).

Step 3

Spoon in the mango puree and stir in with the oat mixture (image 3).

Step 4

Add in the chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, desiccated coconut, vanilla extract (if using) and maple syrup and stir to combine (image 4). Close the container and set aside in the fridge for at least an hour (it can be overnight if that works for you).

When ready to serve, check to see if it needs a touch more milk and then enjoy!

💭 Recipe tips and notes

  • I suggest that using fresh mango is better, if possible. It is easier to blend into a puree and so combine with the oats and milk.
  • Be sure to stir well so the oats and chia seeds are evenly distributed and can soak up the milk to become creamy and delicious!
  • Check to see if the oats need a touch more milk when serving. If the mixture seems a little too thick add another tablespoon or so to preference.
  • Have a sweet tooth? Add more maple syrup to taste.

📋 Frequently asked questions

Can I use frozen mango chunks to make overnight oats?

If using frozen mango it would need to thaw a little first in order to be able to puree it.

Which oats are best for mango overnight oats?

It is best to use old fashioned rolled oats to make overnight oats. Steel cut oats are a bit too dense and will need to soak for a much longer time, and are likely to still be very chewy.

Which milk should I use?

Any milk can be used, so choose that most suitable for you. Coconut milk (the type from a carton rather than a can) would give even more coconut flavour! If you love the coconut flavor, do have a peek at my warm oatmeal with coconut milk recipe too!

Can I use milled chia seeds?

I don't suggest to as it can taste a bit too earthy. You want to use whole chia seeds that soak up the milk and thicken the mango overnight oats.

Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
