    If you love Mango lassi then this recipe is right up your alley. That is because just like that iconic drink, this recipe pairs fresh, seasonal, mangoes with cardamom along with oats, milk, and yogurt to make this breakfast dish that can pass off as a dessert.

    Why you’ll love this recipe

    1. It is a grab-and-go breakfast that you can make in 5 minutes. Prep the day before and it is ready to eat in the morning. 
    2. It will keep you satiated for a long time – no more craving junk food.
    3. Made with oats that are high in nutritional content and fiber which helps reduce your blood sugar, and improve gut bacteria. Additionally, the high fiber content keeps your cholesterol in check while the carbs help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. 
    4. And it is absolutely delicious – you’ll never want to skip your breakfast again.

    How to make Mango overnight oats

    For those who are new to the concept of overnight oats, you’ll love how easy it is to make this dish. All you need to do is mix all the ingredients and leave it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. This gives the oats time to soften and leaves you with this creamy dish that is a perfect grab-and-go breakfast. 

    Shopping list (Ingredients + Equipment)

    Here’s where to get the ingredients and tools used in this recipe.

    Note: Some of the links below are affiliate links which means if you click a link and make a purchase, I may receive a commission at no extra cost to you.

    List of ingredients

    • Rolled oats
    • Chia seeds
    • Milk – Dairy milk or Almond milk or Coconut milk
    • Maple syrup or honey
    • Cardamom seeds, powdered
    • A pinch of salt
    • Mangoes, cubed

    Tools

    Any glass bowl which can hold between 8oz – 16oz works. Ideally, choose the one over 10 oz to give enough room to load up on fruits and other toppings.

    • This mason jar is the one I have.
    • These wide-mouthed Weck jars are also great for the job but it is a tad more expensive.

    Instructions

    1. Cut the mangoes into cubes. 
    2. Mix all the ingredients except chopped mangoes and honey in a bowl till they are well-combined.
    3. Add the chopped mangoes and gently stir it in.
    4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
    5. Enjoy it cold and garnish it with a few pieces of chopped mango (if desired).

    Variations

    1. Skip the cardamom, if you don’t have it. 
    2. Replace whole milk with coconut milk to mix it up.

    Notes

    1. Consume this mango overnight oats within two days. 
    2. Use ripe and sweet mangoes for the best results.

    What kind of mangoes are best for this recipe?

    Go for sweet, non-fibrous varieties of mango. For folks in India, Alphonso, or Kesar would be a good choice. If you are in the US, buy either Ataulfo, Kent, or Keitt. 

    Can we use frozen mangoes?

    You can but I do prefer adding freshly cut mangoes. I tried it once and unfortunately, the mango pieces weren’t sweet enough and that ruined it for me. 

    How do you tell if a mango is ripe?

    Ripe mangoes will smell fragrant near the stem and may have some sap oozing out. Also, when you gently squeeze the mango they should be soft.
