Ingredients
  

Base Oats Mixture
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats gluten-free if needed
  • 1 cup light coconut milk or almond/oat milk
  • 0.5 cup coconut cream from chilled can, well-shaken
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional but recommended
  • pinch sea salt
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut plus extra for topping
Toppings (Optional)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut whipped cream store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons toasted shredded coconut for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers for pie-like crunch
  • 1 pinch cinnamon for dusting

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Mason Jars (2)
  • - Measuring cups and spoons
  • Fork

Method
 

Prepare the Base
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir with a fork until evenly distributed.
  2. Add the light coconut milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly with a fork for 1–2 minutes until fully blended and no dry spots remain. The mixture will be loose—that’s correct.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly between two 16-ounce mason jars or airtight containers. Seal tightly with lids.
Chill and Set
  1. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but ideally overnight (8–12 hours), to allow the oats and chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
Serve and Garnish
  1. In the morning, remove from the refrigerator. Stir each jar gently to redistribute any separated liquid. If too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of coconut milk or water to loosen.
  2. Top each serving with a dollop of coconut whipped cream, a sprinkle of toasted shredded coconut, a light dusting of cinnamon, and a tablespoon of crushed graham crackers for that authentic coconut cream pie finish.

Notes

For a vegan version, use maple syrup and coconut whipped cream. To make keto-friendly, replace oats with 2 tbsp chia seeds + 2 tbsp hemp hearts + 1 tbsp ground flaxseed, and use a keto sweetener. Storage: Keeps in the fridge up to 5 days. Freezer-friendly for up to 3 months—thaw overnight in the fridge. To toast coconut: Place shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown (2–3 minutes).
