Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats Old-fashioned rolled oats are recommended for the best texture.
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative) Adjust based on desired consistency.
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative) Full-fat yogurt adds creaminess.
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios Use unsalted, shelled pistachios for best results.
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness to taste.
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor enhancement.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness.
- 1 serving fresh fruit for topping (optional) Choose fruits according to preference.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl or jar, add the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir vigorously until evenly mixed.
- Stir in the chopped pistachios to disperse them throughout the mixture.
Refrigeration
- Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 6–8 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
Final Adjustments
- In the morning, stir the oats and add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, to adjust the consistency.
- Top with fresh fruit, extra pistachios, or a drizzle of honey before serving.
Notes
Store in the fridge for 3–4 days. Use a wide-mouth jar for easy access and to prevent overflowing.
