Healthy Pistachio Overnight Oats (Vegan, GF, Fruit-Sweetened, Maple Option)

Overnight oats recipe #100000/?... there can never be enough overnight oats on this blog. Anyway, I had a lot of raw pistachio butter and decided to make some delicious, sweet, almond-y/pistachio-y overnight oatmeal with it. The results? They are creamy, pistachio-forward, lightly sweet, and absolutely delicious, a new favorite, for sure. As always, they are vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar free, and naturally colored. An added bonus: they are very easy to make, only take 5 minutes to mix together and pop in the fridge, and by the time you wake up in the morning, breakfast is ready. If you're a pistachio/almond fan, these overnight oats are a must. If you don't like pistachios? Still, try these- trust me when I say they're that good. Happy breakfasting!

Loaded with fiber, protein, healthy fats, iron, copper, manganese, B vitamins, and potassium, these overnight oats are the perfect healthy breakfast to wake up to (that takes no time or effort in the morning). These nutrients will help you stay fuller for longer, so no midday blood sugar crashes here!

Plus: there's absolutely no refined sugar in this jar of oats. Just dates or maple syrup (baker's choice!), yet they taste like dessert. Creamy, firm, nutty, with a clean sweetness, and zero starchiness they're better than traditional oatmeal.

The green color comes naturally from (optional) green spirulina- which adds an additional nutritional boost. And these Healthy Pistachio Overnight Oats are vegan and gluten-free too.

Ok quick question for my blog readers: do you think I should bring the nutrition facts back to my recipes? I had several Dimpled Date posts that included the nutritional data on my recipes, but I had been calculating it by hand and it wasn't sustainable for posting. But are you interested in seeing the numbers? Should I bring nutrition facts back? Let me know in the comments + how you liked this recipe if you tried it!

So, wanna see some new cakes I've been working on? Keep reading.

Raspberry Chocolate rosettes cake:

I just did a similar design partially covered in real edible flowers for my sisters bridal shower... plus 2 other cakes (an orange frosted cake covered in pressed pansies and a velour cake). But really this is a great Mother's Day cake too!

And I don't have any more cakes to show you... yet lol. But here's a sneak preview of a new recipe I'm working on for a floral simple syrup that you can use in cakes, etc.:

Believe it or not that gorgeous aqua/teal hue is not from blue spirulina, but is a natural color from the flowers used! And if you add a couple drops of lemon juice, it changes color to purple syrup! Tune in to the new simple syrup recipe soon to find out this mystery color-changing flower...

Substitutions

Gluten-free rolled oats

the oats cannot be substituted. I highly recommend gluten-free rolled (AKA old-fashioned) oats, but you can try using GF quick oats or GF plain unsweetened instant oats with mixed results. I DO NOT recommend using steel-cut oats, as steel-cut overnight oats require a whole different recipe (which I've experimented with and am trying to perfect). If you don't have Celiac's or an allergy/severe sensitivity, you can use non-gluten-free oats (oats are naturally gluten-free in their own right, but are often cross-contaminated with gluten-containing crops. So for those who have a severe allergy, it's necessary to use only certified gluten-free oats)

Chia seeds

Unsweetened plant milk

Date paste/maple syrup

Raw pistachio butter

Almond extract

Vanilla extract

Green spirulina
