Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Milk (preferably full fat)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons Chia seeds
- ¼ 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 container, combine the rolled oats, milk, sugar, chia seeds, cardamom powder, salt, and crushed saffron. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are mixed evenly.
- Refrigerate: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days, allowing the oats to soak and absorb the flavors.
- Serve: Before serving, stir in half of the chopped pistachios. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Top the oats with the remaining chopped pistachios and serve chilled for a refreshing and flavorful breakfast.
Notes
- Oats: Use rolled or old fashioned oats for best texture; instant oats become too mushy during soaking.
- Saffron: Optional. If unavailable, simply skip; the oats will have a paler color but still taste delicious.
- Sugar: Adjust sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
