Creamy oats layered with pistachio-walnut crunch, maple syrup, and fresh fruits for a vibrant breakfast.

# Ingredients:

→ Baklava Nut Topping

01 - 2 tablespoons raw or roasted unsalted pistachios, chopped
02 - 1 tablespoon almond flour
03 - 1 tablespoon walnuts or pecans, chopped
04 - 1/8 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
06 - 1/4 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
07 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup

→ Oat Base

08 - 1 1/4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
09 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
10 - 1/4 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
11 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup, or more to taste
12 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
13 - 3/4 cup to 1 cup non-dairy milk, heated
14 - 2 tablespoons non-dairy yogurt

→ To Serve

15 - Fresh fruits such as orange segments, sliced banana, or berries

→ Optional Filo Crisp

16 - 1 sheet filo pastry
17 - Neutral oil, for brushing
18 - 1 teaspoon brown sugar
19 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Steps:

01 - Combine pistachios, almond flour, and walnuts in a food processor or chop with a knife until coarse. Transfer to a bowl, add salt, lime zest, and cinnamon if using, then mix. Incorporate maple syrup to achieve a slightly sticky consistency.
02 - Heat non-dairy milk until hot. In a bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, non-dairy yogurt, lime zest, and 3/4 cup heated milk. Mix thoroughly.
03 - Fold in 1/4 to 1/3 of the prepared nut topping into the oat mixture. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow oats to absorb the liquid. Add more milk, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, to adjust consistency if needed.
04 - Divide the oat mixture evenly between jars or serving containers. Top each portion with the remaining nut topping. Add sliced fruits of choice and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
05 - Brush a sheet of filo pastry lightly with oil, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until crisp. Break into pieces and serve as a topping or alongside oats.

# Notes:

01 - For optimal creaminess, allow the oats to chill overnight and serve cold in the morning. Adjust sweetness and fruit selection to personal preference.
