- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chia seeds
Flavor and Sweetening Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract

Topping Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) pomegranate seeds
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) pistachios
Optional Toppings:

Instructions
- In a glass mason jar, whisk together the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth and thoroughly incorporated.
- Create a visually appealing layer by gently sprinkling pomegranate seeds and roughly chopped pistachios throughout the mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Securely fasten the jar’s lid and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours, allowing the ingredients to meld and the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
- Upon removing from the refrigerator, give the overnight oats a gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients and restore the creamy consistency.
- Enhance the final presentation by garnishing with additional fresh pomegranate arils and a delicate sprinkle of crushed pistachios across the surface.
- Optional: Warm the oats briefly in the microwave for approximately 30 seconds if you prefer a slightly heated breakfast, or enjoy chilled for a refreshing morning meal.
