Got 5 minutes? Whip up these delicious Coconut Latte Overnight Oats for an easy, vegan, fiber-filled breakfast that is oh-so-delish!
This overnight oatmeal recipe only requires 5 simple and wholesome ingredients to make. It’s a healthy, make-ahead breakfast that will have you full all morning long.
We made coconut curry for dinner last night, and we had a partially used can of coconut milk. Wasting coconut milk is the worst, so we decided to make a batch of overnight oats.
I remembered absolutely loving a coconut latte at Starbucks, so decided to add in a little bit of cold brew concentrate as well. It was one of the best breakfasts I ever had. It was sweet, had great flavor, and I got a little bit of a caffeine kick, too!
These creamy overnight oats may be meal prep, but it’s SUPER easy. Just dump all your ingredients in an airtight container, give it a good stir, then cover and let it sit overnight. The next day, all you have to do is add your toppings and DEVOUR.
What’s in Coconut Latte Overnight Oats?
- Rolled oats: Also known as old-fashioned oats, this type of oats are best for overnight oats as they have a chewier texture.
- Lite coconut milk: We used light coconut milk for a lighter and healthier version that still tastes nice and creamy.
- Brewed coffee: Coffee gives this oat recipe a lovely coffee flavor and an extra energy boost.
- Maple syrup: For some natural sweetness, we used maple syrup. You can also use honey.
- Ground cinnamon: This spice adds a little warmth and depth of flavor to the oats.
Easy Swaps & Additions
You could easily use this recipe as a blueprint for any flavor of overnight oats. Below are some simple swaps and additions you could try:
Give it a protein boost: Mix in some protein powder or nut butter like almond butter or peanut butter for some extra protein.
Add more fiber: Chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp seeds are great sources of fiber and can be added to the oats for some extra nutritional benefits.
Change up the milk: Use full fat coconut milk instead of lite coconut milk for a richer and creamier flavor. You could also use almond milk, oat milk, or any other plant-based milk of your choice.
Topping ideas: Some of our favorite toppings for overnight oats include fresh fruit, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, and chopped nuts. Get creative and add your own favorite toppings!

So much <3 for LeeLee <3 <3 <3
Depression is so terrible but I'm happy I went through it because it's showed me how wonderful life really is. Life that would be even more wonderful with dis recipe in my fridge.
PS I finally made coconut cream!!!!! It's love.
<3 I feel like people who go through it and are able to manage it totally have a different perspective on life.
I love this little series of oats + getting to know you! I completely admire you for sharing your journey and struggles, and I really LOVE your attitude about your depression and that you don’t let it define you. And, of course, your recipes are fabulous 🙂
Seriously need to get some oats back in my pantry – I have so many recipes to try!
And I’m glad you are honest when it comes to your blog…I have depression and anxiety, and have been able to managed it with therapy in the past and on my own (as of now). I had a great therapist that helped me figure out how to manage it on my own – which has been great! Mine runs in the family as well, so it was bound to happen!
This sounds great. How many servings is this?
I think it’s 2. Got to be at least two!!
Your oat game is just so on point. Lattes are my favorite treat – soy, almond or coconut milk are all fantastic. I love using FULL FAT coconut milk with my morning coffee and blending it in my nutribullet. It gives it a latte texture/taste. So lovely.
I’m the same way with my own depression, I acknowledge it, work with it but don’t let it define me. The more open I am the better I can cope. Thanks for being such an inspiration <3
YEAH DEPRESSIONNNNN! 😛 #jkjkjk but seriously.
I’m OBSESSED with coconut milk. I limit the amount of dairy in my diet so coconut milk has been my savior when I want to make something creamy and delicious. I was so disappointed when I found out the brand of coco milk that Starbucks is using. Guess I’ll just have to stick to taking my decaf coffee black or occasionally treating myself to some full fat cow’s milk.
Also, it’s really awesome that you’re opening up to your readers about yourself and some of the challenges that shape your life. Your openness is really inspiring!
Doode there was a TON of backlash with that whole Starbucks thing. Thanks but no thanks Sbucks.
First off, I’m LOVING the recipes this week – and all the coconutty goodness in this version is pretty amazing.
And I think it is so awesome of you to talk a bit about your journey with all of us – I am sure so many can relate. Your words will definitely help inspire!
<33333 I have no issues sharing with the world about my problems...I guess I just never bring them up because they've been under control lately :P
I saw coconut and then latte and then….fell in love! YUM!!!!!
And p.s. I think you’re a rockstar 🙂 XOXO
Aaaweeeee. Fanks Rebecca 😀
What took me so long to start following your blog? I love this week of oats, but I also am learning so much about you. PS: I forwarded your blog to one of my clients who has never made Overnight Oats before. She’s going to try one of the recipes this weekend! 🙂
AWWWE thanks! OO will change her life. Like seriously, it’s the BEST EVER!
I love visiting your site because your sunny smile and personality shines through your posts and photos, so I would say you are doing a terrific job in living life in such an upbeat and optimistic way, so kudos to you Lee and keep up the great work! 😀 (Also I just LOVE reading these personal trivia and getting to know you better, I’ll miss them once you stop sharing them.)
I just love coconut and coffee, but haven’t really tried mixing them until now, I MUST try this recipe, thank you! 😀
