Toasted Pistachio and Cherry Overnight Oats

Nothing beats waking up in the morning knowing that your breakfast is waiting for

you. Cherries and pistachios are like a culinary match made in heaven, giving traditional oatmeal a flavor and texture lift. Not to mention, cherries and pistachios are packed with nutrients to fight inflammation from their abundant phytonutrients. Use frozen cherries to enjoy this breakfast treat all year round!

Toasted Pistachio and Cherry Overnight Oats 

Ingredients

 1 cup organic rolled oats

 2 tbsp chia seeds

 2 cups plant-based milk (unsweetened)

 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (optional)

 ½ cup organic cherries (fresh, pitted, roughly chopped)

 ½ cup pistachios (chopped)

Directions

1

Add the oats and chia seeds: Split the oats and chia seeds between two 16-ounce mason jars.

2

Add the milk: Split the milk between the two mason jars (1 cup of milk in each jar).

3

Add the maple syrup, if using: Split the maple syrup between the two mason jars and stir well.

4

Add the cherries: Split the cherries between the two mason jars, adding them on top. It’s okay if some get submerged in the liquid.

5

Place a lid on each mason jar and store in the refrigerator for 6–8 hours.

6

Meanwhile, toast the pistachios: Heat a small saucepan on medium heat. Add the pistachios and toast, tossing and stirring occasionally, until slightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer the nuts to a small bowl to cool.

7

Once cooled, cover and set pistachios aside until oats are ready to eat (you want to add the pistachios after the oats have sat overnight to prevent the pistachios from getting soggy).

8

When oats are ready, stir in the pistachios and enjoy!
