Add the oats, coconut milk, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and coconut flakes to a wide mouth mason jar or any other container with lid.
Use a spoon to fully mix all the ingredients.
Cover and set in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
Store in the refrigerator until you're ready to eat it, up to 4 days in advance. It can be eaten chilled or warmed in the microwave for 2 minutes. Stir the mixture again and enjoy!

To cook in the microwave (so it's ready in under 5 minutes):

Ingredients notes:

Use old fashioned rolled oats. Do not use quick oats to make overnight oats.
Use certified gluten free oats (be sure to check the label!) to keep this recipe gluten free.
Light coconut milk will mix better with oats than full fat coconut milk. If using full fat coconut milk, first warm it gently in the microwave, just until the solid pieces melt.
I recommend unsweetened coconut flakes. If you use sweetened coconut flakes, leave out the maple syrup and sweeten to taste just before eating.
