Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned for the best texture)
- 1 cup milk (almond or dairy milk)
- 2–3 tablespoons pistachio butter (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 dollop yogurt (optional; Greek yogurt for more protein)
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Combine oats and milk: In a medium-sized bowl or jar, add the rolled oats and milk. Stir thoroughly to ensure the oats are fully submerged and begin absorbing the liquid.
- Add pistachio butter: Stir in the pistachio butter into the oat and milk mixture. Blend vigorously until the pistachio butter is well incorporated, creating a smooth mixture.
- Incorporate additional ingredients: Add yogurt if using, along with maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together until the mixture is creamy and uniform in texture.
- Adjust consistency: Check the thickness of the oats; if it feels too thick, add a little more milk to achieve a creamy but not watery texture.
- Refrigerate overnight: Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
- Serve the next morning: Give the oats a good stir, add a splash of milk if needed, and serve with your favorite toppings for a quick, nutritious breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk of your choice.
- For added crunch and flavor, top with chopped pistachios or fresh fruits before serving.
- Greek yogurt adds extra protein but can be omitted for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
- Overnight oats can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
