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!

When you say “lite coconut milk”, is that the stuff in the can or coconut milk in a cardboard container in the refrigerated section?
The stuff in the can! There is full fat and lite in the can…get the lite!
I’m so sorry for the dumb question but what do you mean by the “+ 1 T” in the ingredients ?
Exemple : “¼ cup + 1T brewed coffee”. Do I add one Teaspoon ?? What is 1 T
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
¼ cup coconut water*
¼ cup + 1T brewed coffee
¼ cup + 1 T almond milk (I used Almond Breeze 60 calorie)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey**
1 tablespoon coconut cream*

I’ve never had overnight oats before but I made the coconut latte ones last night and just had it for breakfast….delicious, I’m converted!! Great recipe, thank you!
YES!!!!!!! They taste like dessert 🙂
Thank you for the nutrition breakdown, however I don’t see how many servings is made from the recipie, can you please clarify. Thanks
Hey Katie! So sorry about that. This recipe is 2 servings. Just updated the recipe.
No worries, thanks Lee. Will be making this tomorrow! Can’t wait!
How many servings does this make? Thanks.
Hi Lee,
I was wondering if it would work to zap the oats a bit in the morning if one wanted a warm treat? So glad I found your blog.
Hi Laurie! Of course you can do that! It’s all about personal preference 🙂
So delicious Lee! I am an all things coconut and coffee lover and I cannot wait to try this! I agree on the full fat coconut milk — makes you feel fuller longer. 🙂
Could you image a day without coffee?! #HORROR
Lee, I’ve not been following the week of overnight oats because I’m not a big breakfast person, but the coconut and latte got me. It sounds delicious and I might actually try this! Also, thank you for sharing that you also suffer from depression. I do as well and try very hard to keep upbeat. Honestly, some of the most upbeat people you know suffer(ed) from depression (ie Robin Williams). We do our best to keep thinks light and keep moving forward. It helps us to get through another day. Hugs to you!!
Aw thanks for this comment…it really is crazy when the most amazing/positive people come out and share that they suffer from mental healthy. I wish it was more widely talked about, but most people want to keep their problems on the DL. I shall tell alllll 😀
Your take on depression was shocking to me because you’re always smiling! Looks can be deceiving 🙂
But hang in there, Lee. Just know that there are so many including myself who look up to you and recognize how amazing you are!
Awww geeee I’m blushing. I do have depression, but at this point it’s 100% under control!
