Ingredients

Scale

320g plant based milk (I used Alpro Oat milk)
40g pistachio paste
120g fine oats
1.5g salt
1g vanilla powder/paste
10g chia seeds
30g Maple sirup
80g jogurt, Alpro Vanilla skyr style (any other Jogurt will also work)

Toppings:

Jogurt of choice (optional)

Pistachio whipped cream (optional)

Crunchy chopped pistachios

Instructions

1. In a small blender mix together the plant based milk, pistachio paste/butter until smooth and well combined.

2. In another bowl add all the remaining ingredients ( except for the pistachio whipped cream and the jogurt for topping) and mix in the pistachio milk. Mix everything until evenly combined. Store it in a tupperware in the fridge overnight and serve the next day.

Keep in mind that you may have to add a small amount of liquid if you are using thick or larger oats as they absorb more liquid that the fine ones.

3. Top the overnight oats (optional) with Jogurt and lightly whipped pistachio whipped cream as well as crunchy pistachios.

4. For the pistachio whipped cream simply whip plant based whipping cream such as Oatly until slightly firm peaks. Add the pistachio butter and whip until evenly mixed.

Notes

Make it vegan: Use plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy), dairy-free yogurt, and maple syrup instead of honey.
Add more protein: Stir in a scoop of your favorite protein powder or use high-protein Greek yogurt.
Nut-free option: Swap pistachios for pumpkin or sunflower seeds for a similar crunch.
Best oats to use: Stick to old-fashioned rolled oats for the ideal texture—avoid quick oats as they become too mushy.
Storage tips: Keep in an airtight jar or container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Stir before serving and add a splash of milk if it thickens too much.
Serving ideas: Top with fresh fruit (like berries or mango), extra pistachios, or a drizzle of nut butter for added flavor and texture.
