Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons ube powder
- 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened coconut milk
- ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup (60g) macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Toast the macadamia nuts and coconut: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped macadamia nuts and shredded coconut. Stir frequently for 3-5 minutes until golden and aromatic. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Mix the base: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (90g) rolled oats with 2 tablespoons ube powder. Whisk in 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened coconut milk, ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until everything is well incorporated and the oats are evenly coated.
- Portion into jars: Divide the oat mixture evenly between two 8-ounce (240ml) glass jars or containers. Seal tightly with lids.
- Refrigerate overnight: Place the jars in the fridge for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. The oats will soak up the liquid and soften while the flavors meld.
- Serve: Before eating, give the oats a gentle stir. Top each jar with half of the toasted macadamia and coconut crunch. Optionally, add fresh fruit or a drizzle of extra maple syrup if you like.
Notes
Whisk ube powder with coconut milk first to prevent clumping. Toast nuts and coconut carefully to avoid burning. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of coconut milk to loosen. Can soak for 3-4 hours if short on time but overnight is best. For vegan version, swap Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use pure maple syrup.
