This creamy and nourishing porridge comes together in just minutes and soaks overnight so it’s ready for a quick morning meal! Packed with micronutrients, complex carbs, fibre, healthy fats, and protein, it’s the perfect way to start your day.

I usually prep a big bowl of these hearty overnight oats for my family of 5.  However, they can also be made in single-serving mason jars to grab & go. Enjoy them cold straight from the fridge or heat them up for a cozy and satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients for 3 to 4 servings:

  • 1 cup gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 cup canned organic coconut milk (light or full-fat)*

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

  • 1/4 cup Nuzest Clean Lean Smooth Vanilla protein powder OR Further Food Vanilla collagen OR 2 Tbsp of each

  • 1/4 cup cashew butter

  • 2 Tbsp white chia seeds

  • 1 Tbsp maca powder (optional)

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

*Notes: This recipe makes a wonderfully thick, creamy, and satisfying porridge. If you prefer thinner oats, increase the cashew milk to 1 1/2 cups and/or add milk when serving. For a lighter option, use additional cashew milk in place of the coconut milk.

I have made this recipe numerous times using different sweeteners. I find that finely chopped pitted Medjool dates or date syrup really add to that wonderful caramel flavour. I have also used mashed banana, maple syrup, and Lakanto & ZenSweet sugar-free monk fruit sweeteners with good results.

Directions:

  1. Put all of the ingredients in a bowl or single-serving mason jar(s) and stir well to combine.

  2. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for a minimum of 6 hours.

  3. In the morning, these can be served chilled or heated as desired. Add toppings and enjoy!

Salted Caramel & Coconut Oats can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
