Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Milk (preferably full fat)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons Chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch saffron (crushed with your fingertips)
Topping
- 3 tablespoons raw pistachios (chopped)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or any container, add the rolled oats, milk, sugar, chia seeds, cardamom powder, salt, and crushed saffron. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Chill Overnight: Cover the jar/container securely and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days for best results.
- Serve & Garnish: Before serving, stir in half of the chopped pistachios and taste for sweetness. Add more sugar if desired. Finally, top your oats with the remaining pistachios for a delightful crunchy texture and enjoy.
Notes
- Use full-fat milk for creamier texture; substitute with plant-based milk for a vegan option.
- Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add omega-3 fatty acids.
- The saffron and cardamom give a distinct and authentic Indian flavor profile.
- Adjust sugar quantity to suit personal preference or use honey/agave as alternatives.
- Overnight oats can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days safely.
