Ingredients
Scale
Oats Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Flavorings & Toppings
- 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios, chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Fresh fruit or berries for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, mix the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla extract, chopped pistachios, and honey or maple syrup if using. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid, softening them and creating a creamy texture.
- Serve and Top: In the morning, remove the oats from the refrigerator and give them a good stir. Top with additional chopped pistachios and fresh fruit or berries if desired, then enjoy your healthy and tasty breakfast.
Notes
- You can customize the milk and yogurt based on dietary preferences such as almond milk or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the sweetness by increasing or omitting the honey or maple syrup.
- For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of protein powder or nut butter.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more milk before serving.
- Make several jars ahead for grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
