Description
A wholesome and flavorful twist on overnight oats with Indian-inspired spices and toppings for a healthy breakfast.
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
½ cup plain yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
¼ tsp ground cardamom
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of saffron strands (optional, soaked in 1 tbsp warm milk)
2 tbsp chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, or cashews)
2 tbsp raisins or chopped dates
Fresh fruit for topping (mango, banana, or berries)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl or jar, combine oats, milk, yogurt, honey, cardamom, cinnamon, and saffron (if using).
Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Fold in chopped nuts and dried fruits.
Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 6 hours.
In the morning, stir the oats, add more milk if needed for desired consistency.
Top with fresh fruit and extra nuts before serving.
Notes
For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and yogurt with maple syrup.
You can swap saffron for a few drops of rose water for a different flavor.
Make a batch for the week by preparing multiple jars at once.
Soaking raisins or dates with oats gives them a soft, juicy texture.
