Instructions

Pulse ½ cup of shelled pistachios in a food processor until finely ground but not oily. Set aside.
Lightly crush the remaining ¼ cup of pistachios using a rolling pin or by pulsing briefly in the food processor for a coarse texture. Reserve for topping.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground pistachios, chia seeds, milk, and honey or maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture turns a soft green and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture evenly between two 12-ounce glass jars or airtight containers. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 4 days.
When ready to serve, top each portion with a generous spoonful of Greek yogurt, sprinkle with the reserved crushed pistachios, and garnish with fresh raspberries. If the oats seem too thick, stir in a splash of milk before eating.

Notes

– Use full-fat Greek yogurt and whole milk: They add richness and creaminess to the oats.

– Adjust sweetness: Taste the mixture before chilling and adjust honey or maple syrup as needed, as flavors mellow overnight.

– Storage: Store prepared oats in airtight jars or containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Keep toppings like fresh fruit and yogurt separate until serving to maintain texture and freshness. Plain oat mixtures can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the fridge and stir in milk before serving.

– Customizations: Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, or cardamom for warmth. Swap pistachios for almonds, cashews, or hazelnuts. Fold in shredded coconut, cacao nibs, or dried fruit for variety.
