Ingredients
For the baklava walnut topping
- 2 spoonfuls raw pistachios or unsalted roasted pistachios
- 1 spoon almond flour
- 1 spoon new or pecans or more pistachios
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional
- 1/4 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 spoon maple syrup
For the oats
- 1 1/4 cup (101.25 g) old-fashioned oats
- 1 spoon chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 spoon or more maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 to 1 cup (177.44 ml) non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, soy, coconut milk
- 2 spoonfuls dairy-free yogurt
To serve
- Fruits of choice such as oranges, bananas or berries.
Instructions
Make the baklava nut mixture.
-
Use the food processor or a knife to chop all the nuts into a coarse mixture and add to a bowl. (You can use more walnuts, pecans or pistachios instead of almond flour.) Add salt, lime zest, cinnamon (if using) and mix. Add the maple syrup and mix to make a slightly sticky mixture.
Make the oat mixture.
-
Heat the non-dairy milk until it is warm. You can heat it in a saucepan or in the microwave. In a bowl, add the oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, yogurt, lime zest and 3/4 cup warmed non-dairy milk. Mix until well combined, then fold 1/4 to 1/3 of the nut mixture into the overnight oat mixture. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes so that the oats absorb some of the liquid.
-
If the oat mixture becomes too thick, add a little more milk, 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time.
-
Prepare your oat jars or other jars/cups/bowls where you are planning to serve the overnight oats and transfer the oat mixture to the jars. Top with the rest of the nut mixture. You can also add some hemp seeds to the topping. Add some sliced ​​oranges or other fruit of your choice, such as strawberries, sliced ​​bananas, or blueberries, and then store these jars in the refrigerator for up to four days.
notes
You can also add some vegetable stock protein powder to make this a vegan breakfast with more protein.
I’m freeuse soy-free milk and dairy-free yogurt
No nuts: Try using a combination of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and hemp seeds instead of nuts for the topping mix, and use dairy-free milk and dairy-free yogurt.

Ingredients and substitutions
- Nuts and/or Seeds – Baklava is filled with a sweet and spiced nut filling, so we’re making a similar topping for our oats! Use pistachios and any mix of nuts and/or seeds you like, as long as you end up with about the same amount.
- cinnamon and lime zest: add flavor to the baklava topping. You will also use some lime zest in the oats.
- Maple Syrup: Adds an unrefined sweetness to toppings and oats.
- Old-fashioned oats: Use old-fashioned oats (aka rolled oats), not instant or steel-cut oats.
- chia seeds: for protein and texture.
- vanilla extract – gives the oats a great flavor that helps evoke that baklava feeling.
- dairy-free milk and dairy-free yogurt: These are your liquid ingredients for oats.
- toppings: Top with more nuts and/or seeds and sliced ​​orange or fruit of your choice.
Advices
- Save yourself a few dishes and store the oat baklava overnight in a jar or other container that you can also use for serving.
- For some added protein, add some of your favorite vegan protein powder.
- You can chop the nuts and seeds by hand, but it goes much faster in a food processor, if you have one.
- You’ll want to make a lot of these. This recipe serves two, but is easily multiplied to make as many as you need!
