02 - Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Breakfast is literally waiting for you when you wake up, which changes everything about hectic mornings
  • The pistachios add this incredible buttery richness that makes it feel fancy without any actual work
02 -
  • The first time I made this, I forgot to stir it before refrigerating and ended up with a layer of dry, sad oats on top, so mix it thoroughly
  • Chia seeds keep swelling in the fridge, so if it looks too thick in the morning, just splash in a little more milk
03 -
  • Buy shelled pistachios in bulk from Trader Joe's or warehouse stores, they're way cheaper than small bags
  • Use wide-mouth mason jars for easy stirring and eating straight from the container
