Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned for thick, spoonable texture)
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (almond, dairy, oat, or coconut milk)
- 2 tbsp pistachio butter (smooth, homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tbsp yogurt (optional; Greek or plant-based for extra creaminess)
- 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Oats: Add rolled oats to a jar or bowl with enough room to stir comfortably. Spread them evenly to avoid clumping.
- Add Milk: Pour in most of your milk, leaving a little back. Stir gently so oats start absorbing the liquid. The mixture should look loose and slightly soupy.
- Incorporate Pistachio Butter: Add pistachio butter. Stir slowly and thoroughly until fully incorporated, ensuring no streaks or clumps remain.
- Add Flavorings: Mix in yogurt, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until creamy and well combined.
- Adjust Texture: If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk. If too thin, add a spoonful of oats. Adjust until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. The oats will thicken and flavors will meld beautifully.
- Serve: In the morning, stir the oats and add extra milk if needed. Top with chopped pistachios, fresh berries, banana slices, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best creamy texture; quick oats will become too mushy.
- Store-bought pistachio butter is convenient, but homemade offers a fresher nutty flavor.
- Yogurt is optional; it adds creaminess and protein but can be omitted for a dairy-free or vegan version.
- Adjust sweetness to your taste by varying maple syrup or honey amounts.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
