Ingredients
- Mango: Provides natural sweetness and a tropical flavor. You can use fresh or frozen mango.
- Rolled (old-fashioned) oats: These hearty grains provide a satisfying base for your overnight oats. Quick oats can also be used but they'll create a softer, mushier consistency.
- Chia seeds: Tiny powerhouses packed with protein and omega-3 fatty acids. They also help thicken the overnight oats to a pudding-like texture. Flaxseed can be used as a substitute.
- Plant-based milk: I used homemade almond milk but any non-dairy milk like soy, oat, or coconut milk works well as a substitute.
- Maple syrup: A natural sweetener that adds a touch of caramel flavor. You can also use agave syrup, pitted date, or your favorite sweetener.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall flavor. Optional, but recommended.
