Baklava Overnight Oats
Description
Baklava Overnight Oats assemble a nutty mixture of chopped pistachios, walnuts, and almond flour sweetened with maple syrup, cinnamon, and lime zest. The oat mixture consists of oats soaked in warmed nondairy milk combined with chia seeds, vanilla, maple syrup, lime zest, and nondairy yogurt, which adds creaminess and mild tartness.
The nut mixture is folded partly into the oats and some reserved as a topping, contributing a crunch contrasting with the soft soaked oats. The oats absorb the flavors and liquid during a brief resting period, resulting in a balanced texture that can be adjusted by adding milk if too thick.
This recipe yields two servings and can be customized with different nuts or seed blends for allergy considerations. Adding plant-based protein powder is an option to increase the protein content. Serve with fresh fruit like berries or banana for added freshness and color.
Ingredients
For the Baklava Nut Topping
- 2 tablespoons pistachios or roasted unsalted pistachios, raw

- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional
- 1/4 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
For the Oats
- 1 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or more
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 to 1 cup nondairy milk such as almond, oat, soy, coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Non-Dairy yogurt
To Serve

Instructions
Make the baklava nut mixture.
- Use the food processor or a knife to chop all the nuts into a coarse mixture and add to a bowl. (You can use more of the walnuts, pecans, or pistachios instead of almond flour). Add in the salt, lime zest, cinnamon (if using) and mix in. Add in the maple syrup and mix to make a slightly sticky mixture.
Make the oat mixture.
- Heat the non-dairy milk so that it is hot. You can heat it in a saucepan or microwave it. In a bowl, add the oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, yogurt, lime zest, and 3/4 cup of the heated non-dairy milk. Mix until well combined, then fold 1/4 to 1/3 of the nut mixture into the overnight oats mixture. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes for the oats to absorb some of the liquid.
- If the oat mixture becomes too thick, add in a little bit more milk, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time.
- Prep your mason jars or other jars/cups/bowls that you are planning to serve the overnight oats in, and transfer the oat mixture to the jars. Top with the remaining nut mixture. You can also add some hemp seeds to the topping. Add some sliced oranges or other fruits of choice, like strawberries, sliced banana or blueberries, and then store these jars in the fridge for up to four days.
- Optional filo crisp: brush a filo sheet with oil, then sprinkle a mix of a tsp of brown sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon, bake for 10 mins or until crisp. Then break into pieces and serve on the side or add as a topping.
Notes
- This recipe makes two servings and can be easily multiplied for more portions.
- For higher protein content, add plant-based protein powder to the oat mixture.
- To make soy-free, choose non-soy nondairy milk and yogurt alternatives.
- For a nut-free version, substitute nuts with seeds such as sunflower, pumpkin, and hemp seeds and use nut-free nondairy milk and yogurt.
