Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt

Flavor and Texture Enhancers

  • 1/4 cup pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish (Optional)

  • Extra chopped pistachios
  • Fresh berries or sliced banana
  • Drizzle of honey or nut butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients including rolled oats, milk of choice, roughly chopped pistachios, Greek yogurt if using, sweetener, vanilla extract, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Mix the Base: In a bowl or mason jar, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and salt. Stir in milk, Greek yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla extract until well mixed. The chia seeds will help thicken the mixture overnight.
  3. Add the Pistachios: Fold in most of the chopped pistachios, reserving a handful for topping later to add a crunchy texture to every bite.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and flavors.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, stir the oats, add a splash of milk if desired to adjust consistency, and top with the reserved pistachios and any additional garnishes. Enjoy immediately or take it on-the-go.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture—they absorb liquid without becoming mushy.
  • Chop pistachios just before mixing to avoid bitterness and preserve crunch.
  • Adjust the milk quantity to get your preferred consistency—more for thinner, less for thicker oats.
  • Sweeten lightly; pistachios add natural sweetness.
  • Mix ingredients thoroughly before refrigerating to distribute flavors evenly and prevent clumps.
