Is it just me, or has the humble coconut been having a quietly nutty couple years in the breakfast aisle?

Before 2016, we rarely saw the milk-stuffed tropical sphere appear at breakfast time—unless we watched Monty Python’s Holy Grail while eating our Saturday morning munchies—but now it seems like every Girl Scout, superfood, and massive anthropomorphized consonant is paying homage to the fruit with translucent slivers of coconutty love. I can’t say for certain just why there’s been a coconut resurgence. Perhaps it’s piggybacking off the coconut oil fad, but I like to believe it’s because Super Mario Sunshine’s 15th anniversary is next month.

Regardless, it unfortunately doesn’t feel like any recent coconut breakfast food really nails the coconut experience—Nature’s Path’s latest Love Crunch flavor comes closest, but even then, the dark chocolate is the star of the show.

I know what you’re probably thinking: “Oh, since this is his introduction to a Toasted Coconut & Almond Crunch Overnight Oats review, that must mean this new Quaker product finally breaks the ‘weak coconut streak’ like a cracked coconut over a marooned cartoon islander’s head!”

Wrong. Sorry to break the bad news, like a cracked coconut broken over a…you know…but this second flavor of Quaker Overnight Oats I’ve tried (after the borderline heavenly Raisin Walnut & Honey Heaven) doesn’t get coconut right, either. But what it does get right is that other nut in its name. Boy, does it ever.

After adding milk and waiting about 10 hours for my Overnight Oats to gestate (is this how expectant mothers feel?), what came out was a thick and noodle-y oat batter positively infested with chunky almond slivers. This made me gasp so hard that my gaping mouth resembled an almond, simply because every other almond-y breakfast product I’ve had either uses an almond-flavored glaze or includes so few almond bits that eating it feels like searching for a nutty needle in a flake-stack.

It’s like how eating a salad quickly turns into a game of “Crouton Scavenger Hunt,” but with the crouton shaved into sixteenths.

That’s all to say that there’s no shortage of almonds in Toasted Coconut & Almond Crunch Overnight Oats. The well-roasted, savory, and hearty almond chunks infect the whole cup of creamy oat modeling clay with their raw, natural, and yes, toasted nuttiness. The addition of naturally nutty quinoa only compounds this.

But eating these Overnight Oats isn’t exactly like cracking open a can of Planters and planting your tongue inside. The almonds lack a touch of salt, the golden-buttered oats balance their savory flavor with their milk-swelled sweetness, and mild undertones of brown-sugared baker’s coconut give the “almond paste” overtones greater depth.

As I alluded to, though, the coconuts are meek. Tough to taste and in no way toasted, their one-note tropical sweetness is a mere accent on Toasted Coconut & Almond Crunch Overnight Oats’ prevailing oatmeal-almond flour cookie dough flavor.

It’s one for the history books (or at least Ripley’s Believe it or Not): this is the first time overpowering raw cookie dough has ever been a bad thing—aside from that whole “salmonella” deal.

So yes, almond junkies will go nuts, crazy, bonkers, and every other word for these Overnight Oats—besides “bananas,” as that’s reserved for a different flavor. I bet if you made Toasted Coconut & Almond Crunch Overnight Oats with almond milk and ate it on the first day of the week, you’d possess enough concentrated ‘mond energy to leave Garfield shrieking.

Meanwhile, the world’s coconut heads will be shaking their bowlcuts in disappointment, as the finicky fruit has been forced to play second fiddle once more. I advise that these people just buy a couple king-sized Almond Joys, purée them, and dump the results into their empty Quaker cup.

Overall though, I thought Toasted Coconut & Almond Crunch Overnight Oats were unique and memorable, if unbalanced and with a bizarrely rubbery starch aftertaste. The unsung almond gets to star at breakfast time just as rarely as the coconut, so I’m glad we finally got to taste its bold potential in a cupholder-friendly format.

Mr Peanut, take the wheel!

The Bowl: Quaker Overnight Oats – Toasted Coconut & Almond Crunch

The Breakdown: Mellow coconut and doughy oats both play a-little-too-supporting supporting roles as the “meaty” almonds get to steal the golden-cooked cookie show in this otherwise pleasantly creamy breakfast treat.
