One of my favorite things about using Oregon Berries® frozen blackberries is that they’re picked at peak ripeness and frozen shortly after harvest. That means we get incredible flavor, vibrant color, and all the goodness of fresh-picked berries any time of year—without worrying about seasonality.
Frozen berries also make meal prep incredibly easy. Since they’re already washed and ready to use, you can simply place them into the saucepan to make a quick homemade blackberry compote in just a few minutes.
Ingredients
Blackberries. Frozen Oregon Blackberries are picked at peak ripeness and flash-frozen to lock in their sweet, juicy flavor and vibrant color. They cook down into a thick, naturally jammy compote that adds beautiful layers of berry flavor throughout the oats.
Gluten-Free Rolled Oats. Gluten-free quick oats provide the perfect creamy, chewy texture after soaking overnight. Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats if you have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance.
Chia Seeds. Chia seeds naturally thicken the oat mixture as it chills, creating a rich, pudding-like consistency while adding fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and a nutritional boost.
Hemp Hearts. Hemp hearts add subtle nuttiness, healthy fats, fiber, and plant-based protein without overpowering the other flavors. Hemp seeds (hearts) also contribute to the creamy texture of the oats.
Unsweetened Oat Milk. Oat milk creates an incredibly creamy base. Feel free to substitute your favorite dairy-free milk if preferred. I used this brand.
Pure Maple Syrup. Maple syrup provides natural sweetness. Adjust the amount to your preferred sweetness.
Vanilla Extract. A splash of pure vanilla enhances every flavor in the recipe and gives both the oats and pistachio cream a warm, bakery-style taste.
Lemon Juice. A little lemon juice brightens the blackberry compote, enhancing the berries’ natural sweetness while adding a refreshing pop of acidity.
Raw Shelled Pistachios. Raw pistachios blend into a smooth, naturally buttery cream with a beautiful pale green color. Their rich, slightly sweet flavor pairs perfectly with juicy blackberries. Using raw pistachios allows for the color to be more of a light green as opposed to a yellow-brown if using roasted pistachios.
Dairy-Free Yogurt. Dairy-free yogurt makes the pistachio cream exceptionally smooth and creamy while adding a subtle tanginess reminiscent of cheesecake filling.
Salt. Just a small pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors of the berries, pistachios, vanilla, and maple syrup throughout the recipe.

Instructions
1. Make the blackberry compote
Add the blackberries, lemon juice, and maple syrup (if using) to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and become jammy. Lightly mash with a fork, leaving some larger pieces for texture. Let it cool.
2. Make the pistachio cream
Add the pistachios to a high-speed blender or food processor along with the dairy-free yogurt, oat milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding an extra splash of oat milk if needed.
3. Prepare the overnight oats
In a medium bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, hemp hearts, oat milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
4. Assemble
Divide half of the oat mixture between two jars. Top with half of the pistachio cream and half of the cooled blackberry compote. Gently swirl everything together a few times to create ribbons of color, but don’t fully mix. Repeat with the remaining oats, pistachio cream, and blackberry compote, then gently swirl again.
5. Refrigerate
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
6. Serve
Top with fresh blackberries, chopped pistachios, and a dollop of coconut cream or dairy-free yogurt if desired. If adding crunchy toppings like granola or chopped pistachios, wait until just before serving.
Storage
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
