I keep mornings calm with a jar of Pistachio Overnight Oats. I stir the mix at night and sleep easy knowing breakfast is ready when I wake.
Mom Eva loved this nutty bowl. She would pack extra chopped pistachios for my lunchbox and smile when I ate green oats.
Your Ingredients List
- ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tbsp pistachio butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup quick oats
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- non-dairy yogurt (for topping)
- raspberries (for topping)
- chopped pistachios (for topping)
My Go-To Equipment
I use a small jar or bowl with a lid, a spoon, and a whisk or fork to blend the pistachio butter into the milk. A tall jar makes layers pretty and saves space in the fridge.
The Simple Steps to Follow
- Whisk the non-dairy milk, pistachio butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir in the quick oats and chia seeds.
- Add matcha powder if you want a green boost.
- Cover the jar and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Top with non-dairy yogurt, raspberries, and chopped pistachios before serving.
Healthy Twists on a Classic
For a fruity version, I swap the pistachio butter for a spoon of cream cheese and berries like in my strawberry cheesecake overnight oats. You can also add protein powder or swap maple syrup for a little mashed banana for natural sweetness.
Serving Suggestions From My Table
I like to layer the oats with non-dairy yogurt and raspberries for a parfait look. For a richer treat, pair it with a warm cup of tea and the berry twist I wrote about in my strawberry cheesecake overnight oats post.
Getting It Just Right
Use quick oats for a creamy texture. If you prefer more chew, use rolled oats and give them a touch more time. Taste before bed and add a splash more milk if it looks too thick.
How to Store Leftovers
Keep extra jars in the fridge for up to 3 days. Cover them well so they do not absorb fridge smells. Stir gently before serving and add fresh toppings right before you eat.
Enjoy Every Moment
I eat this slowly and think of small joys. It is a quiet, good way to start the day.
A Few Common Questions
How long do I need to chill Pistachio Overnight Oats?
I recommend chilling Pistachio Overnight Oats for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture. Overnight gives the oats time to soften and the flavors to blend.
Can I use rolled oats in Pistachio Overnight Oats?
Yes. You can use rolled oats in Pistachio Overnight Oats for more bite. If you use rolled oats, let them sit overnight too, or add a little extra milk.
Can I eat Pistachio Overnight Oats warm?
You can warm Pistachio Overnight Oats gently on the stove or in the microwave, but I like them cold. Warmed oats change texture, so heat in short bursts and stir between intervals.
