Remove the plastic wrap the next day and stir in the pineapple. Serve with additional coconut as desired and enjoy!
2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
Notes
Pro tip: Do not add fresh pineapple until just before serving as the enzyme bromelain in the pineapple will break down the protein in dairy, which will cause the oats to become sour. Canned pineapple doesn't have the same effect so it's safe to add.
I used refrigerated coconut milk. Canned coconut milk will add a lot more fat and calories, and will result in very thick oats.
For best results, use old fashioned rolled oats. I do not recommend using quick oats as they will be far too soft. If you'd like to use steel cut oats, see my recipe for overnight steel cut oats for full instructions.
Not a fan of chia seeds or don't have any on hand? Omit them and reduce the milk by 1/2 cup for a total of 2 cups milk.
