Ingredients

Scale

Base 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)

Toppings

  • 3 tablespoons raw pistachios (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Mix the base ingredients: In a mason jar or a container, combine the rolled oats, milk, sugar, chia seeds, cardamom powder, salt, and crushed saffron. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to soak and thicken for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days.
  3. Add pistachios and adjust sweetness: Before serving, stir in half of the chopped pistachios and taste the oats. If you prefer it sweeter, add more sugar to your liking.
  4. Serve: Enjoy immediately, topped with the remaining chopped pistachios for added crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute full-fat milk with almond milk or other milk alternatives for different dietary preferences.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity to suit your taste or use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup if preferred.
  • Soaking overnight softens the oats and activates the chia seeds for a creamy texture.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a few chopped dried fruits or a sprinkle of nuts on top.
  • Store leftover overnight oats in the refrigerator and consume within two days.
