Notes

Approximate Serving Size: Each serving is approximately 1 cup of prepared overnight oatmeal.

Variations

Strawberries with Granola: Replace the raspberries and blueberries with fresh sliced strawberries. Top the oats with a sprinkle of your favorite granola for added crunch and texture. This variation adds a touch of natural sweetness and pairs well with creamy oats.

Maple Walnuts: Swap the chopped pistachios with maple-glazed walnuts. Heat ¼ cup of walnuts in a small skillet with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over medium heat until the syrup thickens and coats the walnuts. Allow them to cool before adding them to the overnight oats. The combination of maple and crunchy walnuts adds a delightful twist to the recipe.

Defrosted Frozen Berries with Chopped Nuts: When fresh berries are out of season, you can use defrosted frozen berries as a substitute. Thaw ½ cup of your favorite frozen berry blend and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the mixture. Enhance the texture and flavor by adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts.

Banana with Seeds and Nuts: Replace the berries entirely with sliced bananas. For an added nutritional boost, sprinkle a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds over the oats. You can also include a handful of your favorite nuts, such as sliced almonds or cashews, to create a deliciously satisfying combination.

Cooked Peaches with Cinnamon and Sugar: Instead of using berries, try cooked peaches for a warm and comforting twist. See our peaches and cream recipe for how to cook the peaches.
