Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned for the best texture)
  • 1 cup milk (almond or dairy milk)
  • 23 tablespoons pistachio butter (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 dollop yogurt (optional; Greek yogurt for more protein)
  • 12 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
