Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 ml) old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
Base and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon instant pistachio pudding mix (optional, for a richer flavor and color)
Garnish Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios, chopped (plus extra for topping)
Toppings (Optional):
- Additional crushed pistachios
- Diced fruit (e.g., kiwi, banana, or berries)
- A drizzle of honey
Instructions
- In a spacious glass vessel, amalgamate rolled oats with creamy milk, velvety Greek yogurt, nutrient-packed chia seeds, golden honey, aromatic vanilla essence, roughly chopped emerald pistachios, and optional pistachio pudding powder.
- Whisk the mixture vigorously until all ingredients harmonize, creating a uniform, silky texture without any dry pockets.
- Seal the container securely with a lid, ensuring no air can penetrate, and nestle in the refrigerator’s cool embrace for a minimum of six hours or throughout the night.
- During the resting period, the oats will gradually absorb the liquid, transforming into a luxuriously creamy and tender breakfast delight.
- Upon morning’s arrival, gently stir the overnight creation, introducing a small splash of milk if the consistency appears overly dense.
- Enhance the visual and gustatory experience by garnishing with additional crushed pistachios, vibrant seasonal fruits, or a delicate drizzle of amber honey.
- Serve chilled and savor the intricate layers of flavor and nutrition in this effortless, no-cook morning masterpiece.
Notes
- For a vegan version, swap dairy milk with almond or oat milk, and use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt to maintain the creamy texture.
- Boost protein content by adding a scoop of plant-based protein powder or mixing in almond butter for extra richness and nutritional value.
- Control sugar levels by using sugar-free pudding mix or replacing honey with stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a diabetic-friendly option.
- Experiment with different nut toppings like chopped almonds or walnuts if pistachios aren’t available, ensuring you maintain the delightful crunch and nutty flavor profile.
