Mango Madness!
On a hot summer’s day in India mangoes were a go-to treat for me. Mangoes are my favourite fruit, I just can’t get enough of them! My favourite type of mango is called Mango Langra, which are grown in India. These mangoes have a very special kind of sweetness that you can’t find in North America.
Summer is mango season in India. As a kid, my family and I would enjoy an extravagant feast, with a vegetarian curry served with breads such as rotis or parathas. As dessert, we’d simply snack on fresh mangoes. I’ve honestly had a dozen of these mangoes in one sitting!
Regardless, even though the mangoes aren’t quite the same here in Canada as they are in India, a mango is a mango, and while I don’t have mangoes very often anymore, this chocolate chip overnight oats with mango puree recipe was a fun way to incorporate mangoes in the morning! Because of how sweet the mangoes are, you won’t need any additional sweetener for this recipe, the glory is all in the mangoes. Though I admit I'm a major chocoholic which is why chocolate chips are pretty much a must in overnight oats that don't have cocoa powder!
What’s the Mango Puree?
As I said, mangoes are extremely sweet on their own. All you need to make the mango puree are fresh or frozen mangoes and some milk of your choice! So easy and extremely refreshing for summer!
How to Make the Mango and Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats
This recipe will show you how to make a simple chocolate chip overnight oats, but with the twist of merging it with a mango puree!
Making the Base
To get started, make your base for the overnight oats. For this, you will need:
Quick oats
Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
Vanilla extract (you can omit if you’re using vanilla Greek yogurt)
Milk (I use traditional dairy milk)
Chia seeds
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients together. It’s that simple!
Making the Mango Puree
You won’t believe how easy it is to make the mango puree! All you need is milk and mangoes. Fresh or frozen mangoes will work.
Add the milk and mangoes into a blender or food processor.
Keep blending until you have a thick and creamy consistency. If it’s too thick, gradually add more milk. Be sure not to add too much milk - you don’t want the puree to be liquidy! It should look as it does below.
Bringing it all Together
Now, add your mango puree to the overnight oat mixture, and mix well.
Transfer your mixture to either to a serving bowl or to a mason jar. Seal your mason jar with a lid or cover your serving bowl with plastic wrap.
In the morning, top with honey and chocolate chips. Grab a spoon and enjoy!
These chocolate chip overnight oats with mango puree will definitely be a sweet and satisfying breakfast so definitely give this recipe a try! This can be an easy go-to in the summer heat or when you feel like enjoying a cool snack!
