This innovative mango sticky rice overnight oats recipe captures the decadent, velvety essence of the classic Thai street food dessert and transforms it into a wholesome, high-fibre morning routine. By soaking rolled oats in a creamy mix of coconut milk and a touch of sweetness, the grains mimic the lush texture of traditional sticky rice without any cooking. Topped with a generous layer of ripe, vibrant summer mango puree, it offers a refreshing, elegant start to your day.
1/2 cup rolled oats  1/2 cup light coconut milk  1/4 cup almond milk or water  1 tbsp chia seeds  1 tbsp maple syrup or honey  1/2 cup ripe sweet mango, pureed or finely diced  A pinch of sea salt and toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, and a tiny pinch of sea salt directly inside a clean glass jar or container.
Stir the mixture vigorously with a spoon to ensure the chia seeds are completely distributed and no clumps of oats remain at the bottom.
Seal the container tightly with its lid and place it into the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, allowing the oats to swell into a rich cream.
Open the jar the next morning, stir the thick coconut oats briefly, then layer the vibrant mango puree or fresh diced mango generously across the top before scattering toasted sesame seeds.
