Honey Pistachio Overnight Oats and Granola

Chewy oats and crunchy granola combine in this chilled breakfast fit for a summer morning. I usually tend to skip breakfast in the morning in favor of a big mug of coffee. However, breakfast dishes are among some of my very favorite things to eat. Living alone, I will happily enjoy an oven-baked frittata for dinner or a big bowl of oats with berries as an evening snack, while watching guilty pleasures like the bachelorette or the real housewives of anywhere.

My favorite thing about oats is that you can bring them to life by adding unique toppings, from sweet with dried fruit to savory with a runny egg and bacon on top. In this honey pistachio overnight oats and granola you’ll find plenty of toppings to feed your sweet tooth. You can use any preferred toppings you may have on hand. Pecans, walnuts or almonds can be subbed for pistachios. Sliced bananas, strawberries and  blackberries can be used. Pure maple syrup or coconut sugar make delicious alternatives to honey.  Overnight oats make great meal prep recipes for busy mornings. Simply add the dry oats along with your favorite dairy or dairy-free milk and allow the oats to soak overnight. This recipe serves two, but feel free to keep it all to yourself!
