Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1/4 teaspoon saffron strands
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional) For sweetness

Toppings

  • Chopped nuts or fruits (optional) Customize with your favorite toppings

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Stir well until everything is mixed together.
  • Add the saffron strands and cardamom powder. Mix until both are evenly distributed throughout the oats.
  • If you’d like a touch of sweetness, add honey or maple syrup at this point, and stir well.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate it overnight.
  • In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If too thick, add a splash more milk for desired consistency.
  • Top with your choice of chopped nuts or fresh fruits before serving.

Notes

Serve directly from the bowl or in individual jars. Pair with chai or herbal tea. For a richer flavor, toast the nuts before adding.
