Mango Overnight Oats
Deliciously Enjoying Superfood Oats: Mango Overnight Oats Recipe
Oats, one of the top 10 superfoods, boast excellent benefits for cardiovascular health, weight management, diabetes, breast cancer prevention, and women’s health. Despite their remarkable benefits, their texture can be off-putting when eaten plain. ‘Overnight Oats’ (or ‘Onao’ in Korean) is the most popular method to enjoy oats deliciously and conveniently. By soaking oats in yogurt overnight and topping them with your favorite ingredients, you can create a wonderful breakfast or healthy snack, similar to a parfait. Today, we introduce a recipe for Overnight Oats enhanced with the sweetness of mango.
Main Ingredients- 4 Tbsp plain unsweetened yogurt or Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 2 dried mango slices, chopped
- 3 Tbsp oats (quick oats or rolled oats)
- 15g granola
- 10g nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc., to your preference)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, place 3 tablespoons of oats into a bowl or jar with some depth. Using quick oats will result in a creamier texture, while rolled oats offer a chewier bite.
Step 2
Pour 2 tablespoons of milk over the oats, just enough to moisten them slightly. This step helps the oats begin to soften.
Step 3
Adding fruit to your overnight oats enhances the flavor beautifully. Today, we’ll add 2 chopped dried mango slices. The sweetness of the mango pairs wonderfully with the oats.
Step 4
Now it’s time for the star ingredient: yogurt. Generously add 4 tablespoons of unsweetened plain yogurt or thick Greek yogurt. The choice of yogurt will affect the final taste and consistency.
Step 5
After adding all ingredients, gently mix them with a spatula or spoon. There’s no need to overmix. Lightly combine the ingredients, then cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to soak. This overnight soaking is the essence of ‘Overnight Oats’.
Step 6
After a night in the refrigerator, you’ll find the oats have softened beautifully and absorbed the flavors. The dried mango will have become tender and infused a delightful sweetness, transforming the mixture into something akin to a dessert.
Step 7
Finally, top your finished overnight oats with 15g of crunchy granola and 10g of savory nuts. The added texture makes for a more satisfying and delicious experience. Feel free to add fresh fruits or seeds according to your preference.
