Plant-based ingredients tips and substitution!
These coconut milk overnight oats are easy to prepare with basic plant-based ingredients. Yes, you read it right they are basic and surely they are already in your pantry. You will need:
1. Old-fashioned rolled oats
-
- To make these overnight oats do not use quick oats as they will get mushy and use certified gluten-free oats.
2. Coconut milk
-
- Use light coconut milk rather than full-fat milk as it has a lower amount of coconut cream. If desire to use full-fat coconut milk, warm them in a microwave before using it.
3. Unsweetened coconut flakes
-
- I recommend using these unsweetened coconut flakes since they add a crunchy texture and depth of coconut flavor. But if you want to use sweetened coconut flakes, omit the maple syrup.
4. Maple syrup
-
- It gives a sweet flavor but if you use unsweetened coconut flakes just omit this.
5. Vanilla extract
-
- Gives depth and aromatic flavor.
6. Chia seeds
-
- If prefer not to use chia seeds alternatively use hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, etc.
Optional Ingredients
7. Chocolate chips
-
- Use vegan chocolate chips I recommend Enjoy Life Foods. They are dairy-soy-free, nut-free, certified gluten-free, and vegan.
8. Fresh berries
-
- Fresh or frozen berries will work such as strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and raspberries.
9. Almonds
-
