Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup large flake oats
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • ⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup dairy milk or 1 ⅓ cup plant-based alternative
  • 2 tbsp pistachio butter
  • 2 tbsp pistachios chopped
  • Handful fresh raspberries for topping

Instructions

  • In a sealable jar or container, mix the oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt and milk together. Stir well.
  • Place the mixture in the fridge for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
  • When you’re ready to eat, stir in the pistachio cream. You can either top the oats with chopped pistachios or stir them right into the mixture as well. Add the fresh raspberries on top and enjoy!

Notes

Substitutions and add-ins

  • Quick oats or old fashioned rolled oats
    • If you don’t have large flake oats you can substitute quick or rolled oats instead. I recommend reducing the milk by 1-2 tbsp so that it’s not too liquidy or mushy.
  • Flavoured Greek yogurt
    • If you prefer a different flavoured Greek yogurt, you can use this in place of the plain Greek yogurt in this recipe. If you’re looking for a flavoured yogurt, I recommend vanilla.
  • Regular yogurt
    • Instead of Greek yogurt, you can use regular yogurt. However, this tends to be more liquidy than Greek yogurt so I recommend reducing the milk by 1-2 tbsp.
  • Alternative milks
    • If you are looking for a higher protein option, I recommend using dairy milk or soy milk. Other plant-based beverages like oat milk or almond milk will still work in this recipe but provide much less protein.
  • Nut or seed butters
    • Feel free to add another nut or seed butter into the mix for extra creaminess, flavour and protein.
  • Protein powder
    • If you want to add an extra boost of protein to overnight oats, you can use protein powder. I recommend adding a small amount to start with to make sure you enjoy the taste and texture. 
  • Maple syrup, honey, vanilla extract, coconut flakes
    • Add any of these ingredients to increase the sweetness of this breakfast.

Dietary considerations

  • This recipe is already vegetarian
  • Gluten-free*: make sure you opt for gluten free oats.
  • Dairy-free or vegan*: choose plant-based milk and yogurt products made from soy, almond or oat milk instead of dairy milk.
  • *Pistachio butter should just be made from pistachios and a little bit of salt but make sure to keep an eye on the label for more specific details if you also need it to be gluten free, dairy free or vegan.
