# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Tastes like having coconut cream pie for breakfast but keeps you full for hours
  • Takes literally five minutes to prep and you wake up to breakfast already made
  • The combination of toasted coconut and nuts creates the most incredible texture contrast
02 -
  • The texture transforms completely overnight—what seems loose when you mix it becomes perfectly creamy and thick by morning
  • Using full-fat canned coconut milk instead of carton will make these incredibly rich, almost like eating dessert for breakfast
  • If you're making these for the week, add the toasted toppings right before serving or they'll lose their crunch
03 -
  • Mason jars with wide mouths are the easiest containers for both mixing and eating
  • Set out your toppings the night before so breakfast assembly takes thirty seconds
  • These travel beautifully—just keep the toppings separate until you're ready to eat
