Mango Lassi Overnight Oats (Printable)

Creamy mango-lassi inspired overnight oats with yogurt and cardamom, chilled overnight for a quick tropical breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
02 - 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 teaspoons chia seeds (optional, for extra creaminess)

→ Mango Mixture

05 - 1 cup ripe mango, diced (fresh or thawed frozen)
06 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
08 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Toppings

09 - 1/2 cup diced fresh mango
10 - 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios or almonds (optional)
11 - Pinch of ground cardamom (optional)

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds (if using). Mix well.
02 - In a blender or food processor, purée the mango with honey (or maple syrup), ground cardamom, and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - Stir the mango purée into the oat mixture until fully combined.
04 - Divide the mixture between two jars or bowls. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6–8 hours) to thicken.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Mango lassi and oats join forces to make a breakfast so creamy and fragrant you'll wish mornings lasted longer.
  • No-cook simplicity means more time for slow sips of coffee and less for stovetop clean-up.
02 -
  • If you skip stirring before chilling, the chia and oats can clump at the bottom—learned that after a very uneven first batch.
  • Using frozen mango can turn the mixture a bit watery if it isn&t fully thawed—let it come to room temp before blending.
03 -
  • Chill the jars before filling to help the oats set up thick and cold.
  • A pinch more cardamom on top sparks the mango flavor beautifully—like a little magic dust.
