Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups pistachio milk (can substitute with almond, oat, or dairy milk)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup shelled pistachios, chopped
Toppings
- Pistachio cream (available for purchase on Amazon)
- Extra chopped pistachios
- Fresh fruit (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, pistachio milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla bean paste, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients well.
- Portion Into Jars: Evenly divide the oat mixture into 4 clean 8oz glass jars or containers. Seal each jar with a lid.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Place the jars in the refrigerator and let them soak for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and develop a creamy texture.
- Serve and Garnish: In the morning, remove the jars from the fridge and top each serving with pistachio cream, extra chopped pistachios, and fresh fruit if desired. Enjoy chilled for a refreshing and satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute pistachio milk with almond milk, oat milk, or regular dairy milk depending on preference or availability.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based yogurt and ensure the sweetener suits your diet.
- Chilling the oats for longer than 4 hours (up to 12-24 hours) will enhance the creaminess and flavor absorption.
- Mix in fresh or dried fruit if you prefer additional flavor and texture.
- Use airtight jars for easy grab-and-go meal prep and to keep the oats fresh.
