Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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)
  • 3 tablespoons raw pistachios (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or a suitable container, add the rolled oats, full-fat milk, sugar, chia seeds, cardamom powder, salt, and crushed saffron. Stir all the ingredients well to ensure they are thoroughly mixed.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days. This soaking process allows the oats to soften and absorb the flavors, while chia seeds help thicken the mixture.
  3. Add Pistachios and Adjust Sweetness: Before serving, stir in half of the chopped pistachios and taste the oats. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, mix in additional sugar to suit your preference.
  4. Serve: Serve the overnight oats cold, topped generously with the remaining chopped pistachios for added texture and nutty flavor. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use full-fat milk for a creamier texture; you can substitute with plant-based milk if desired, but the consistency may vary.
  • Adjust the sugar according to your taste preference or substitute with natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
  • Soaking time can be adjusted, but a minimum of 6 hours is essential for proper texture.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a dash of rose water or chopped dried fruits like raisins or dates.
  • This recipe can be made vegan by using plant-based milk and a vegan sweetener.
