My canned pineapple overnight oats recipe combines the fresh taste of pineapple with delicious coconut. Overnight oats are an easy way to enjoy a grab-and-go breakfast on busy weekday mornings. I’ve added protein-packed Greek yogurt to these pineapple oats for extra staying power. If you’re looking for a cheap and easy breakfast meal prep, this healthy recipe may be just what you need!
🍍 Canned Pineapple Overnight Oats Ingredients
You only need a handful of ingredients to make this recipe:
- ½ cup canned pineapple tidbits
- ½ cup rolled oats (dry)
- 1/3 cup almond milk (or your favorite milk)
- ½ cup coconut Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon chia seeds
- Fresh pineapple and toasted coconut (optional, for topping)

I recommend using old fashioned oats (AKA rolled oats) or quick oats for this recipe. Plain instant oats can work, but they produce oatmeal that’s a little mushier. Steel cut oats don’t soften up enough in overnights oats recipes without precooking.
Get canned pineapple in pineapple juice with no added sugar for this recipe. It’s more nutritious and I think it tastes better than the canned pineapple in heavy syrup.
Overnight oats are pretty flexible, so feel free to make small modifications to this recipe as you see fit. For example, add a little rum extract and make pina colada overnight oats, or use fresh mango for topping in place of the pineapple. Yum!
I use 1½-2 cup glass canning jars for most of the overnight oats recipes on this website. You can use wide-mouth mason jars, or jars with regular-sized openings. The benefit of using wide mouth jars is that they are easier to fill with the ingredients.
Lidded containers are best to help prevent a mess if the oats accidentally get tipped over in the fridge. The lids also help prevent the oats from drying out. Additionally, they help to keep crumbs from other foods out of your oats.
🥣 How to Make Overnight Oats with Pineapple
Drain the canned pineapple. In a medium sized mixing bowl, stir together the canned pineapple, oats, yogurt, milk, and chia seeds. Place the mixture in a glass canning jar or another food-safe container.
Put the lid on the jar and refrigerate overnight. Your pineapple overnight oats will be ready to eat the next morning! Add toppings such as fresh pineapple or toasted coconut right before serving.
Can I heat up overnight oats?
You can heat overnight oats if you’d prefer. However, heating may kill the probiotics in the yogurt used in this recipe.
How to make overnight oats vegan?
Make these overnight oats non-dairy using your favorite Greek-style plant-based yogurt. Make your pineapple overnight oats gluten free by using certified gluten free oatmeal.
