Baklava Overnight Oats combine warm spices, honey, and crunchy pistachios and walnuts with creamy oats for a breakfast inspired by the classic Middle Eastern dessert. It’s an easy make-ahead meal with fragrant cinnamon, cardamom, and optional citrus zest.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup quick oats
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup or agave
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup or agave (for topping)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)
  • Non-dairy yogurt for topping
  • Dried rose petals (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a jar or small bowl, mix together the quick oats, non-dairy milk, honey or maple syrup or agave, cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir in lemon zest or orange zest if using.
  2. Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight until the oats soften and thicken.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the chopped pistachios, chopped walnuts, honey or maple syrup or agave, and cinnamon until the nuts are evenly coated.
  4. When ready to serve, add a thick layer of non-dairy yogurt on top of the oats. Spoon the nut mixture over the yogurt and garnish with dried rose petals if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
  • Add extra non-dairy milk in the morning if the oats are too thick.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Serve with extra chopped nuts or fresh fruit for added texture.
