Mango Overnight Oats Chia seed pudding is a delicious healthy vegetarian breakfast recipe with goodness of oats, fresh mangoes, milk & chia seeds. It is an easy & quick breakfast recipe that can also be made vegan by using coconut, almond or soy milk.
This mango oats recipe has no artificial sweetener or refined sugar. You can even serve it as a light healthy dessert. In this recipe, I have layered mango oats and chia seed pudding in parfait style which makes it look attractive too. You can make this recipe with regular yogurt or coconut yogurt too.
This recipe includes all the four ingredients which our often considered as essential part of healthy breakfast-
- Fruits
- Oats
- Milk
- NutsÂ
- Seeds
Oats are good source of fibre, protein and are high in mineral like selenium, magnesium, zinc and manganese etc. Mango is also a good source of dietary fibre and and also rich in Vitamin A & C. Nuts & seeds also provide complex carbohydrates, protein and other essential vitamins to body.
The variations in these overnight oats are endless. If you are looking for vegan version the milk in this recipe can be replaced by coconut / almond / soy milk. You can choose nuts and seeds as per your own preference. Also, for kids who are too fussy to eat anything. you can garnish this pudding with chocolate chips to lure them.
Minimal preparation and almost zero cooking time makes overnight oats an ideal & popular choice for breakfast. All you need is to mix few ingredients a night before and you will have delicious lip smacking breakfast next day.
Summer time is here which means season for yummy juicy mangoes. I love mangoes (especially alphonso) and their inclusion in any dish makes it desirable too. I am sure you are going to enjoy every spoonful of this mango oats chia seed pudding recipe without frowning upon the blandness and texture of oats.
This overnight oats is so appetising that it feels as if you are almost eating a dessert🍨. Also it is a no cooking or fireless recipe. I had earlier shared a chocolate oatmeal smoothie bowl which also tastes yummy and is healthy too.
It is 19th day of lockdown in India due to Covid-19. Hoping that we all get through this phase safely with our families 🙏. Everyone is in the house now & with all the meals preparation and snack breaks in between 🙆, kitchen is literally functional 24 hours. I have now decided to prepare 2-3 jars of these overnight oats every night before sleeping as you can have them in breakfast, evening snack or even for a late night dessert craving. It tastes just like pudding and so much healthy too.
I have also shared a youtube video for the same recipe. If you like this recipe, don’t forget to subscribe to my channel for more such yummy healthy recipes.

Swati
Which oats you used instant or rolled because I have rolled oats
Divya Jain
Hi Swati, I have used Rolled Oats.

Is the chia and milk on top supposed to be watery? I thought it was supposed to be like pudding. Mine is not. What did I do wrong?
Divya
Hi, the chia seeds need to be mixed well with milk. Also you can increase the soaking time for 10-15 minutes to gain gel like consistency or you can increase the quantity of chia seeds slightly as the result sometimes depends on the quality of chia seeds.
Richaa
Can I do the same thing with apples
Divya
Yes you can use apples.
Roshini
Can I use steel cut oats?
Divya
Hi Roshini, Steel cut oats take longer to soften up. So I recommend using rolled oats for this recipe.
Damn Samm

Divya
Yes you can use instant oats also.
