Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well blended.

- Divide Mixture: Evenly distribute the oat mixture into two jars or containers with lids for easy refrigeration and portion control.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats to soak and soften to a creamy consistency.

- Greek yogurt can be substituted with a dairy-free alternative for vegan adaptation.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey according to taste.
