Take 5 minutes to prep these Chocolate Pistachio Overnight Oats and breakfast will be ready and waiting for you when you wake up. A sweet and salty breakfast or snack that you will love!
Chocolate for breakfast is always a great idea.
Add in some oats and crack open some delicious pistachios and you have got yourself these incredible Chocolate Pistachio Overnight Oats.
I love pistachios and another favorite breakfast is this Honey Pistachio Avocado Toast. But when I want something sweeter, this oatmeal is the answer.
Why you Will Love These Chocolate Pistachio Overnight Oats:
- Make ahead. Make these pistachio oats tonight and then you can grab breakfast the minute you wake up! It’s the best part of overnight oats!
- Simple ingredients. A few pantry basics, perhaps the pistachios aren’t always around, but they can be a special treat. As for chia seeds, totally optional!
- CHOCOLATE. You can say that again, right? Breakfast that begins with chocolate is always a bonus!
- Easy to accommodate dietary needs. Use gluten free oats, regular or dairy free milk–heck, you can use chocolate milk! Make this recipe work for you!
Recipe Ingredients:
Not a whole lot: rolled oats, milk, cocoa powder, vanilla, sweetener and the pistachios. I always have all of these items on hand so it makes it super simple to whip up.
Extra add ins: flax and chia seeds are great options to give your overnight oats an extra boost. Do you have to add them? Nope. These pistachio oats will be great without them too.
Storing Your Pistachio Overnight Oatmeal:
Overnight oats will store in the refrigerator easily for up to about 5 days. If you plan on adding banana to your oats, I suggest only doing so just before serving. Other than that, berries or other ingredients can easily be added to this recipe to make it even more delish!

Recipe Notes and Tips:
- Sweeten when you serve to make sure the sweetness is to your liking. This is usually an individual preference, so if you are worried you won’t like it as recommended, wait until you are ready to serve to sweeten!
- Enjoy these pistachio overnight oats hot or cold. Some people love their overnight oatmeal cold, but I usually prefer mine warmed up in the microwave for about a minute in the morning.
- Toast your pistachios slightly before adding them to your oats for more flavor. Toss the pistachios in a little maple syrup or as is in a skillet on medium for about 5 minutes until they become fragrant.
