Directions

Prepare the pineapple
Dice the fresh pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces.
Mix the dry ingredients
In a bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, shredded coconut, and the plant-based protein powder. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the wet ingredients
Pour in the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and coconut extract. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Top with oats
Add a layer of the oat mixture as the base in a jar or bowl.
Add the pineapple
Add the diced pineapple on top of the oats.
Top with coconut yogurt
Spoon the coconut yogurt on top of the pineapple layer. This will add a creamy texture and boost the coconut flavor.
Repeat
Repeat the layering process once more to create additional layers, finishing with a layer of coconut yogurt.
Cover and refrigerate
Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to soak overnight or for at least 4-6 hours.
Serve and enjoy
The next morning, give the oats a good stir to combine. You can enjoy them straight from the jar or bowl. If desired, top with additional fresh pineapple or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.

FAQs

Can I use frozen pineapple instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen pineapple works great for this recipe! Just thaw it out before adding it to the oats.

Can I make this recipe in a larger batch?

Yes, simply double or triple the ingredients to make a larger batch. Store individual servings in separate jars or containers for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.

How do I make the oats thicker or creamier?

If you prefer thicker oats, you can reduce the amount of coconut milk slightly. For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk or add more coconut yogurt.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free as long as you use certified gluten-free oats.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes! In fact, overnight oats are best when made ahead of time. They allow the flavors to meld and the oats to soften, making them a perfect meal prep option.

Can I use another protein powder flavor?

Yes, you can use other flavors of plant-based protein powder, but keep in mind that it will alter the flavor profile. Vanilla complements the tropical flavors, but chocolate or berry flavors could also work depending on your taste.

Can I make these oats without protein powder?

Yes, you can skip the protein powder if you prefer. However, the oats will have less protein and may not be as filling.
