Overnight Oats – Tropical Pineapple Coconut by Theo Michaels

Course: Main - Dish: - Serves: 1

How great are overnight oats; the gift you give yourself the day before! Using canned fruit has two main benefits; firstly, it extends the shelf life of the oats so if you don’t get round to eating them they’ll last a couple of days in the fridge without going bad, and secondly, they are incredibly convenient that virtually all the ingredients are store cupboard items.

Method:

  1. Simply mix all the ingredients together (except the desiccated coconut and save a few chunks of the pineapple) in a jar or glass and place into the fridge overnight, or for at least 4 hours. Meanwhile, in a dry frying pan, lightly toast the desiccated coconut till golden and remove.
  2. When you’re ready to eat, remove the oats from the fridge (add a splash of milk if too thick)
  3. Top with the leftover pineapple chunks and toasted coconut.
