Description

This Pistachio Overnight Oats recipe is a wholesome, protein-packed breakfast that combines rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, and the rich flavor of pistachio. It’s perfect for a quick, nutritious start to your day with a creamy texture and a nutty crunch from pistachio butter and roasted pistachios. Simply mix the ingredients, refrigerate overnight, and enjoy a ready-to-eat meal when you wake up.


Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or pistachio milk)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • ½ Tablespoon maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt

Pistachio Components

  • 1 Tablespoon pistachio butter
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped, roasted, and salted pistachios (plus more for topping)


Instructions

  1. Combine: Add all the ingredients—including rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, almond milk, vanilla extract, chia seeds, maple syrup, pistachio butter, chopped pistachios, and pinch of salt—into a mason jar or a suitable container. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
  2. Chill: Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the oats, chia seeds, and protein powder to absorb the liquid and soften.
  3. Mix: Take the oats out of the fridge the next morning and stir thoroughly. The mixture will have thickened as it absorbed most of the liquid. If needed, add a splash more almond or pistachio milk to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Serve: Top your overnight oats with extra chopped pistachios and a drizzle of pistachio butter for added flavor and texture. Enjoy immediately as a convenient, nutritious breakfast.

Notes

  • For a sweeter taste, adjust the amount of maple syrup to your preference.
  • Using pistachio milk instead of almond milk will enhance the pistachio flavor.
  • Ensure the jar or container you use seals well to prevent the oats from drying out.
  • Can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days while maintaining freshness.
  • Feel free to add fresh fruit or other nuts as toppings for variety.
