Cherry + Pistachio Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- 150g frozen cherries
- 2 tsp honey
- ½ tsp vanilla essence
- 120g porridge oats
- 350ml milk (of your choice)
- 3 tbsp Greek yoghurt
- 3 tsp chia seeds
Serving (per portion):
- 30g pistachio nuts,crushed
Instructions
Add the frozen cherries to a small saucepan along with 1 tsp honey and the vanilla essence. Simmer over a low-medium heat for 5–8 minutes until the cherries soften and form a compote. Set aside and allow to cool.
Add the oats, milk, Greek yoghurt, chia seeds and remaining 1 tsp honey to a large bowl or container and stir well.
Once the cherry compote has cooled, you can either stir it through the oat mixture, or keep it in a separate container to spoon over fresh before serving.
Cover the oat mixture (and the compote, if storing separately) and place in the fridge overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
Before serving, top with the crushed pistachios.
Note - This recipe serves 3 and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. For the best crunch, add the pistachios just before serving, either crush them fresh each time, or crush the full amount in advance and store in a small airtight container.
If using dairy-free milk, feel free to add extra yoghurt for additional protein.
