Baklava Overnight Oats
These Baklava Overnight Oats are made with oats, pistachios, walnuts, warm spices, and creamy vegan yogurt. Inspired by the classic flavors of baklava, but reimagined as a high-fiber, make-ahead breakfast that leaves you feeling energized and nourished!
Ingredients
overnight oats
- ½ cup quick oats
- ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon honey, or maple syrup/agave
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
- Make the overnight oats: In a jar or small bowl, mix together the quick oats, non-dairy milk, honey (or maple syrup/agave), cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla extract until combined. Tip: You can add a little citrus zest here like lemon or orange.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
- Make the topping: In small bowl, mix together the chopped pistachios, chopped walnuts, a pinch of cinnamon, and honey (or maple syrup/agave) until the nuts are evenly coated.
- Assemble and enjoy: Add a thick layer of yogurt on top of the oats, followed by the nut mixture. Finish with dried rose petals if using, and enjoy!

Notes
- Use quick oats. In my opinion, quick oats work best when making overnight oats because they soak up the liquid beautifully and create that creamy, dreamy overnight oats texture. If needed, use certified gluten-free oats. Steel-cut oats won’t work here as they need to be cooked first.
- Don't skip the overnight soak. While 4 hours works in a pinch, soaking them overnight gives them the best texture and allows the flavors to fully come together.
- Add citrus if you’re feeling fancy. A pinch of orange or lemon zest in the oat base adds brightness and really mimics classic baklava flavors. It’s subtle but lovely!
- Want to meal prep them? They keep well in the fridge for 3-5 days. I like prepping a few jars at once for easy breakfasts for the week.
