Delicious pistachio overnight oats in a glass bowl topped with nuts and fruits

Pistachio Overnight Oats Fast, Creamy, Make-Ahead Breakfast

Why This Recipe Works

This pistachio overnight oats recipe is built for busy mornings. It uses quick oats and chia to hydrate overnight so the texture is creamy without cooking. A single jar mixes milk, pistachio butter, and a touch of maple to deliver flavor with minimal effort. The optional matcha gives color and a mild lift if you want it. If you love fruity toppings, try our creamy raspberry overnight oats for another fast, fresh option.

Flavor and Texture

Pistachio butter brings a rich, nutty base that pairs naturally with raspberries and chopped nuts on top. The quick oats soften fully after at least four hours, while chia seeds add a subtle gel that keeps everything cohesive. Non-dairy milk and yogurt maintain a light, dairy-free creaminess that stays scoopable in the morning. Maple syrup and vanilla round out the flavor so it tastes indulgent without extra effort. If you add matcha, expect a delicate vegetal note that brightens the bowl without overpowering the pistachio.

Ingredients

½ cup non-dairy milk
1 tbsp pistachio butter
1 tbsp maple syrup
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup quick oats
1 tsp chia seeds
non-dairy yogurt (for topping)
raspberries (for topping)
chopped pistachios (for topping)

Step by Step Instructions

In a jar or small bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk, pistachio butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the pistachio butter dissolves.
Mix in the oats and chia seeds, stirring until evenly distributed and the mixture looks cohesive.
For an extra pop of color, stir in 1/4 teaspoon of matcha powder (optional) and fold gently to keep the texture smooth.
Cover and place in the fridge to set overnight or for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats and chia to hydrate fully.
The next morning, add non-dairy yogurt, raspberries, and chopped pistachios as toppings and enjoy.

Quick Tips and Shortcuts

Make a double batch in two jars and you have breakfast for two mornings with no extra work. If you’re truly rushed, shake everything in a lidded jar for 30 seconds instead of whisking. Swap pistachio butter for almond or sunflower seed butter if that’s what you have on hand. Use frozen raspberries straight from the freezer as a cool topping that thaws into a quick sauce. Prep toppings separately to keep the jars fresh and crunchy until you eat them; chopped pistachios stay crisp longer when stored apart.

Storage and Meal Prep

Store sealed jars in the fridge for up to three days for best texture and flavor. If you plan to eat later in the week, keep yogurt and fresh raspberries in separate containers and add them just before serving. For travel breakfasts, secure lids tightly and place jars in a small insulated bag to keep chilled until lunchtime. Freezing is not recommended texture changes when thawed and chia can become overly thick.

Short Closing Note

This recipe is fast to assemble, easy to customize, and built to fit a busy morning routine. It’s a smart, satisfying way to start the day without extra cooking.
