Description

The jar is topped with a smooth layer of plain yogurt, fresh blueberries and raspberries, and a final sprinkle of chopped pistachios for a pleasant crunch. This no-cook breakfast is prepared in advance, making for a convenient and satisfying morning meal.
Ingredients
- For the Oat Layer:
- * 1/3 cup rolled oats
- * 1/3 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- * 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- For the Pistachio Chia Layer:
- * 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- * 1 tablespoon pistachio butter or finely ground pistachios
- * 1/3 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- * 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- For the Toppings:
- * 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy alternative)
- * 1/4 cup mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries)
- * 1 teaspoon chopped raw pistachios
Instructions
- In a glass jar or container, combine the rolled oats, 1/3 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of maple syrup. Stir well to ensure the oats are fully submerged.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, pistachio butter, the remaining 1/3 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of maple syrup until no clumps remain.
- Carefully pour the pistachio chia mixture over the oat layer in the jar.
- Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the liquid.
- Before serving, remove the jar from the refrigerator. Spoon the Greek yogurt evenly over the top of the pistachio layer.
- Garnish with fresh mixed berries and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
Notes
For a smoother pistachio layer, use pistachio butter instead of ground nuts.
Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your desired level of sweetness.
To make this recipe vegan, use plant-based milk (such as almond or oat) and a dairy-free yogurt.
The overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but it is best to add the toppings just before serving.
