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 airtight container, add the rolled oats, milk, sugar, chia seeds, cardamom powder, salt, and crushed saffron. Stir thoroughly to mix all the ingredients evenly.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the jar or container securely and refrigerate it for at least 6 hours, or up to 2 days, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors.
  3. Add Pistachios and Adjust Sweetness: Before serving, stir in half of the chopped pistachios. Taste the oats and if you prefer it sweeter, mix in additional sugar to suit your palate.
  4. Serve: Spoon the overnight oats into bowls or serve directly from the jar, topping with the remaining chopped pistachios for added crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute dairy milk with almond, soy, or coconut milk to make it dairy-free.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity according to your preference or use honey or maple syrup as natural sweeteners.
  • For added fruitiness, consider topping with fresh mango, banana slices, or berries before serving.
  • If you like a creamier texture, mix in a spoonful of yogurt before refrigerating.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator safely up to 2 days.
