About This Recipe
Mango Overnight Oats is a delicious no-cook breakfast recipe where rolled oats are soaked overnight (or for 6-8 hours) in milk, yogurt, and mango puree.
The addition of mangoes to the oatmeal gives it a sweetness and a tropical flavor. The texture of the mangoes also helps to make the oatmeal creamier.
Although I personally like to serve overnight oats chilled, you can definitely heat them up for a hot bowl. Top the oats with your choice of topping and serve for a healthy and delicious breakfast.
Ingredients
Oats – Overnight oats are best made using rolled oats (old-fashioned oats). Having said that, instant oats also work fine.
Yogurt – Use plain yogurt or GREEK yogurt to soak the oats. I personally like full-fat yogurt but skim will also work fine.
To make the recipe vegan, replace dairy yogurt with any plant-based yogurt.
Milk – I like to use whole milk (full-fat milk) to soak the oats as it makes them creamy and rich. You can definitely use skim or low-fat milk to make these healthier.
To make the recipe vegan, replace dairy milk with any plant-based milk like almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.
Mangoes – You will need mango puree and mango cubes. Choose ripe and juicy mangoes to make the overnight oats. My favorites are Indian varieties like Alphonso or Kesar. You can use any other variety of mango that are easily available to use.
Others – You will also need chia seeds, honey, and vanilla extract.
Replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for vegan.
If you want to add some extra protein to your overnight oats with mangoes, you can stir in a scoop of protein powder to the mixture before storing it in the fridge.
How To Make Mango Overnight Oats
Stir together 1.5 cups of rolled oats, 1.5 cups of plain yogurt, 1 cup milk, 6 teaspoon chia seeds, ¾ cup of chopped mangoes, ¾ cup mango puree, 3 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Cover the bowl with a lid and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight.
If you are in a hurry, you can soak the oats for a minimum of 2-3 hours. They will not be as soft though.
Add more milk if the oats are too thick and mix well. Top with your favorite toppings and serve.
Topping Ideas
Chopped mangoes and sliced bananas.
Slivered nuts like almonds, cashew nuts, walnuts, pecans, etc.
Seeds like chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, etc.
Nut butter like peanut butter, almond butter, pistachio butter, etc.
Shredded coconut, cocoa nibs, edible flowers.
For a more decadent breakfast, you could top your overnight oats with whipped cream or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

This dish is a great option for babies! The oatmeal is soft and easy to eat, and the mangoes add sweetness and nutrition. If you are making these oats for a baby, you may want to puree the mangoes so that they are easier to eat. You can also add some water or milk to thin out the mixture if necessary. Always check with your pediatrician before introducing new foods to your baby.
