Step 3: Add another layer of mango to each jar followed by the remaining oatmeal mixture.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or granola on top just before serving.
Swap the mango for other tropical fruits like pineapple or papaya for a different twist.
If you prefer a sweeter oats, add a bit more honey or a splash of maple syrup.
Use almond or oat milk instead of coconut milk for a milder flavor.

Storage

Store the mango oats in sealed jars or containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before eating, you can enjoy it cold or let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for a creamier texture. If desired, warm gently in the microwave for about 30 seconds, though it’s best enjoyed chilled.

How to Serve

There are two clear glass jars filled with layered mango dessert on a white marbled surface. Each jar has three visible layers: the bottom layer is a light yellow creamy mango mixture with chia seeds, the middle layer is a white creamy layer with bits of mango and seeds, and the top layer is a thick white cream topped with bright yellow mango chunks and sprinkled with small white flakes and tiny seeds. One jar has a brown spoon inserted, and a whole and cut mango lies beside them on a white cloth with small red fruit prints. A gold spoon is placed nearby. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use rolled oats instead of quick rolled oats?

Yes, you can use rolled oats, but the texture will be a bit chewier and may require an extra hour of soaking or soaking overnight as usual to soften properly.

Is it necessary to add Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a protein boost but can be omitted or substituted with a dairy-free yogurt if you prefer. The oats will still soak and thicken nicely without it.
