You can make it with regular yogurt or coconut yogurt too. This recipe includes all the four ingredients which our often considered as essential part of healthy breakfast-

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 or berries to lure them.

I am sure you are going to enjoy every spoonful of this mango chia oats pudding recipe without frowning upon the blandness and texture of oats.
These overnight oats are 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. Hoping 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.

Ingredients: (For 1 serving)
- Rolled Oats- 1/4 cup
- Mangoes (chopped) – 1/2 cup

(Note: This quantity yields 1 serving. Double the recipe to make more servings.)
Directions:
Step 1:
Add chopped mangoes and oats in a blender jar (I have used Quaker brand oats here. You can use any other brand of your choice.) If mangoes are less sweet, also add some honey or sugar at this step.
Step 2:
Blend well to get smooth uniform mixture. If it seems too thick, add 1-2 table spoon of milk or water to get smooth consistency.
Step 3:
Transfer it in a jar or bowl. Keep it aside.
Step 4:
In a bowl add milk, chia seeds, honey and chopped nuts. For vegan version replace milk with plant based options like coconut, almond or soy milk. Also honey can be replaced by maple syrup, coconut sugar or stevia.
Step 5:
Mix well and let the chia seeds soak in milk for 5-10 minutes. Once the chia & milk mixture begins to thicken up, transfer it above the oats mango layer.
Step 6:
Let this jar be refrigerated overnight. Before serving, garnish with some more chopped mangoes, nuts (like soaked peeled almonds) or mixed seeds of your choice. Enjoy delicious chilled mango overnight oats & chia seeds pudding.
Tips:
- For flavouring, you can add some vanilla extract or a pinch of cardamom powder to chia seed pudding layer.
- Instead of mangoes, you can make this breakfast recipe with other fruits or berries also like apple (with a pinch of cinnamon), strawberries, blueberries or raspberries etc.
- If you don’t have time to blend oats, then simply add milk, oats, chia seeds, chopped mangoes & honey to a container. Mix well. Close the lid and store in fridge overnight to enjoy in breakfast next day.

Which oats you used instant or rolled because I have rolled oats
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?
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.
Can I do the same thing with apples
Yes you can use apples.
Can I use steel cut oats?
Hi Roshini, Steel cut oats take longer to soften up. So I recommend using rolled oats for this recipe.
can we use the normal instant oats for this or only rolled oats ?
Yes you can use instant oats also.
Is it necessary to grind the oats and mango?
Blending oats and mango together makes the oats absorb all mango flavours and gives it soft pudding like texture. If you don’t want to blend them, then soak oats in milk and add chopped mangoes to it.
