These easy Tropical Overnight Oats are creamy and packed with tropical flavor! Make them in a large batch for an easy breakfast the whole family will enjoy!Â
I am a creature of habit. I love nothing more than an extensive list and the comfort of a familiar routine. Breakfast is no exception! When it starts to heat up in the City, my usual pumpkin spice oatmeal just makes me hotter!Â
Enter bircher muesli overnight oats, and if you’re feeling adventurous, tropical overnight oats. These happy wonders not only are a delight for the tastebuds but I can prep ahead and they make my morning a breeze!Â
The (second) best thing about overnight oats is that you can customize to your heart’s delight! Want to use coconut milk instead of 2%? Go for it! Want to use pineapple juice instead of lemon? Sounds fab!
The only thing that I really love is the granny smith apple grated into the mixture. It adds that tartness that really makes this exceptional!
For my tropical overnight oats rendition, love a mix of fresh fruits, toasted nuts, coconuts and chia seeds, but dried would also be amazing. No cutting required! Look at you savin’ time like a pro.
