Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats
½ cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
½ cup whole milk
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 Medjool dates pitted and finely chopped

Toppings:

2 tablespoons roasted pistachios roughly chopped
1 teaspoon honey for drizzle

Instructions

Add oats, Greek yogurt, milk, tahini, chia seeds, and chopped dates to a jar. Stir well — tahini can seize slightly when it hits cold liquid; keep stirring until fully smooth.
Seal and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. The dates will soften and sweeten the oats as they sit.
In the morning, stir well. Top with pistachios and a drizzle of honey. Serve cold.

Notes

Scale up easily — multiply all ingredients by however many jars you want to make.
Refrigerate in a sealed jar up to 3 days; dates continue to soften and sweeten (day 2 is often best).
Prep 3-4 jars on Sunday for the week.
Do not freeze — the texture of the oats suffers significantly after thawing.
