Ingredients Equipment Method Nutrition Notes

Ingredients

1 cup 90 g old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup 240 ml milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat)
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp Greek yogurt or cream cheese softened
2 tbsp date syrup or honey
2 tbsp rose water optional, for that floral note
¼ cup 30 g shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Pinch of fine sea salt

Equipment

2 wide-mouth jars or small bowls with lids
Measuring cups and spoons
Small whisk or fork
Spoon for serving

Method

Mix base: In a bowl, whisk together oats, cocoa powder, sea salt, and milk until evenly combined.
Sweeten & scent: Stir in date syrup (or honey) and rose water until smooth.
Layer jars: Divide half of the oat mixture between two jars. Top each with 1 tbsp softened cream cheese (or Greek yogurt), gently swirling with a spoon.
Add crunch: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped pistachios over the swirl.
Top & soak: Spoon remaining oats over the nuts. Seal jars and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serve: Before eating, stir gently to combine layers. Add extra pistachios or a drizzle of date syrup if desired.

Notes

Hints, Tips & Substitutions

Vegan option: Use coconut-milk yogurt and maple syrup instead of Greek yogurt and honey.
Extra protein: Fold in a scoop of chocolate protein powder with the oats.
More floral: Increase rose water to 1 tbsp, or swap for orange blossom water.
Crunch boost: Stir in 1 tbsp chia seeds with the oats for additional texture and fiber.

Make-ahead: Prep up to 2 days in advance—just add pistachios right before serving to keep them crunchy.
