Ready to eat, make-ahead overnight oats with pineapple, coconut and macadamia nuts, delicious either warm or chilled, perfects the busy weekday breakfast.
Pina Colada Overnight Oats
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
My recipe of the day is for overnight oats for Fantastical Food Fight, which I have done in the flavor of pina colada (pineapple and coconut) which I love.
This is very easy to make, simply by stirring together and refrigerating overnight, without any cooking involved. In the morning you spoon out your desired portion and sprinkle with toppings. It tastes good either warm or cold (you decide).
Perfect for a busy weekday, you can make this ahead for your tribe, and they can serve themselves. The extras will keep several days so no worries if you want to make some even further ahead.
The oatmeal naturally softens in the liquid. The flavor is tangy from the yogurt, but the sweetness is balanced (from the yogurt additions) but as in any group, everybody likes a different amount of sweet, so there is no judging if you want to add a little honey or brown sugar. I liked it just as it is. But I do figure kids might want more (or maybe not…)

I love the flavored yogurts in this dish! What a great idea to mix the two flavors.
Love the flavor profile and the addition of macadamia nuts.
I would clearly enjoy that delicious bowl of oats! Totally love the pinacolada flavor and the additional crunch of the chia and nuts…
Thanks. It’s very creamy- less crunchy that you would expect.
Pina colada oats sound so heavenly – especially first thing in the morning.
It’s the first overnight oats I’ve made–it won me over to make more very soon!
