Recently I discovered a new favorite Greek yogurt from my favorite Greek yogurt brand. Have you ever seen Oikos Toasted Coconut Vanilla? If you’ve seen it, try it immediately. If you haven’t seen it yet, find it immediately!
I don’t typically go for the full-fat flavors, but sometimes it’s necessary. This is one of those times. This flavor is incredible and I knew I would have to try an overnight oats recipe as soon as possible. And the results? This breakfast kept me full for hours and I’ll definitely be incorporating this into my routine more often!
P.S. did you know that January is National Oatmeal Month? It couldn’t be more perfect!
Toasted Coconut Vanilla Overnight Oats
Serves 1
Ingredients
- 1 container Oikos Toasted Coconut Vanilla Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/3 cup almond milk [I use Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Coconut]
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Optional Toppings
- Unsweetened shredded coconut
- Nut butter [Earth Balance Crunchy Coconut Peanut Spread is highly recommended!]
- Ground cinnamon
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a tupperware container and mix well. Refrigerate overnight. In the morning, top with your preferred toppings and enjoy!
I prefer my oats hot so I pop em in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes. If you do this, you may need to add another splash of milk to get it to the right consistency.

Food for Thought
What is your favorite flavor of Greek yogurt? Have you ever tried making overnight oats with that flavor?
I love overnight oats! I’m going to have to look for that yogurt when I go to the store
Can’t wait to try this recipe 
Let me know if you do, I’d love to hear what you think!
This kind of a dumb question, but for the over night oats, are the oats cooked first before mixing with everything else or no? Thanks!
No need to cook the oats first. Letting them sit overnight with everything softens them
Let me know when you make them, I’d love to hear what you think!
I tried them this morning….I couldn’t find the coconut vanilla so had to just use vanilla. But still pretty good! I am a flight attendant and always looking for healthy food, especially breakfast, to bring with me in case I can’t heat it up. I think this will work really well! I want to try the quinoa one next…..thanks!
So glad you liked them! You can really do the same recipe with any kind of yogurt
Love to hear what you think of the quinoa!
