Description
Elevate your breakfast with these spiced Indian overnight oats featuring cardamom and crunchy pistachios, perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla (optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped pistachios (for topping)
- Fresh mango or banana (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl or two 12-oz mason jars: rolled oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, ground cardamom, salt, and vanilla.
- Whisk or stir thoroughly so chia and oats don’t clump.
- Seal jars and refrigerate at about 4°C (40°F) for 6–8 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, stir and top with chopped pistachios and optional fruit.
- If you prefer warm oats, gently microwave for 30–45 seconds or heat on low in a small saucepan while stirring.
Notes
For best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats; quick oats get too soft. Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
