Ingredients
Oats Mixture
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 or 2 teaspoons matcha powder (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons pistachio butter or any nut butter
- 2 tablespoons raw honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk of choice
Creamy Topping
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons pistachio butter or any nut butter
- 1 tablespoon raw honey or pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons chopped shelled pistachios
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and matcha powder to your preferred taste. This forms the base and adds a subtle green tea flavor.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add pistachio butter, raw honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, plain Greek yogurt, and your choice of milk to the dry ingredients. Stir well until everything is evenly combined, forming a creamy mixture.
- Portion the Mixture: Transfer the oat mixture evenly into two jars or bowls, preparing individual servings for convenience and easy storage.
- Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together plain Greek yogurt, pistachio butter, and raw honey or maple syrup until smooth. This adds a rich, creamy layer on top of the oats.
- Assemble and Garnish: Spoon the creamy topping evenly over each oat serving. Sprinkle chopped shelled pistachios on top to add a crunchy texture and enhance the pistachio flavor.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jars or bowls tightly and place them in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb moisture, softening to a perfect consistency.
- Serve: Enjoy your pistachio overnight oats straight from the fridge the next morning. They can be kept refrigerated for up to 3 days.

- Substitute pistachio butter with any other nut or seed butter if unavailable.
