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
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or a suitable container, add the rolled oats, milk, sugar, chia seeds, cardamom powder, salt, and crushed saffron. Stir well to mix all the ingredients evenly.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften, and flavors to meld.
- Add Pistachios and Adjust Sweetness: Before serving, stir in half of the chopped pistachios. Taste the oats and if you prefer it sweeter, add more sugar accordingly. Once adjusted, top with the remaining chopped pistachios for crunch and garnish.
Notes
- Use full-fat milk for creamier texture; alternatively, any plant-based milk can be used for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust sugar quantity as per your sweetness preference or substitute with honey or maple syrup.
- The saffron adds subtle flavor and color; soak it in a tablespoon of warm milk for better infusion if desired.
- This recipe can be prepared up to two days in advance, making it perfect for busy mornings.
- Mixing the pistachios before and after soaking ensures some crunch remains.
