Tip

The crunchy pistachios on top are a must-have for this recipe, and you can prep these, too. Store the finely chopped pistachios in an airtight container in a dark, cool place, for example, a pantry, so they are ready to sprinkle on your overnight oats with raspberries for breakfast. If you want to extend their shelf life even further, you can put them in the refrigerator in an airtight container to keep them from going soft. They will keep for 3-4 months, maybe longer if stored in the fridge.

Can you use fresh raspberries for lactose-free raspberry overnight oats?
Of course, you can! The raspberries for raspberry overnight oats are, of course, important – but it is less important whether they are frozen or fresh. Just make sure you wash fresh ones properly before making the tasty compote. It is also worth considering that compote made on fresh berries might only keep a couple of days in the fridge.
What toppings to use for lactose-free raspberry overnight oats?
You can top the raspberry overnight oats with more raspberry compote for a flavourful, tart topping that accentuates the sweetness of the overnight oats. Chopped pistachios add crunch and rich, nutty tones, while fresh raspberries enhance the berry flavour and offer natural freshness.
How long can lactose-free raspberry overnight oats keep?
Lactose-free overnight oats with raspberries can keep in the fridge for 4-5 days. This means that you can prepare a jar for almost every morning or afternoon of your work week. Note that the longer the jars sit in the fridge, the creamier and softer the texture becomes. The raspberry compote can keep 2-3 days in the fridge.
