In bowl or jar, stir together oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla, salt, maple syrup, and almond or peanut butter (if using). Tightly cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight.
Chocolate Coconut Overnight Oats:
Add more liquid if desired and top with fresh fruits, nuts, coconut, and spices.
NOTES:
Tropical Coconut Mango Overnight Oats:
*I used unsweetened almond and coconut milk. I definitely needed the real maple syrup to sweeten the overnight oats. If using sweetened almond milk, you may not need as much maple syrup.
*If you use canned full-fat coconut milk, you will need a little more than 2/3 cup of liquid as it is thicker.
*You can use any type of Greek yogurt from plain to flavored. If using flavored yogurt, you may need less sweetener.
*The fresh fruit and toppings are added after the oats have been refrigerated overnight.
