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 container, mix the rolled oats, milk, sugar, chia seeds, cardamom powder, salt, and crushed saffron thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the jar or container securely and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
  3. Add pistachios and adjust sweetness: Before serving, stir in half of the chopped pistachios into the oats and taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add more sugar as desired.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the overnight oats chilled, garnished with the remaining chopped pistachios on top for added crunch and texture.

Notes

  • Use full-fat milk for a richer and creamier texture, or substitute with almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add nutritional benefits including fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Adjust sugar levels to your preference or substitute with honey or maple syrup if desired.
  • For added flavor, consider garnishing with a sprinkle of extra cardamom or a few strands of saffron before serving.
  • This recipe can be prepared up to 2 days in advance for a quick and convenient breakfast.
