About Kesar Badam Overnight Oats
Kesar Badam Overnight Oats is a take on the classic overnight oats recipe. The oats are flavored with Indian spices, such as saffron, cardamom, and almonds.
It is a delicious breakfast option that is easy to make and comes together quickly.
It is also great for meal prep. You can transfer the overnight oats into small jars and grab one jar on the go.
Ingredients
Oats – I like to use rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) as they have more fiber than instant oats. But feel free to use instant oats if you wish to. They will be slightly mushy after soaking.
Yogurt – I like full-fat plain yogurt, but you can also use Greek yogurt, low-fat yogurt, or plant-based yogurt.
Milk – I like to use whole milk (full-fat) because it makes my oats creamier and more decadent. However, you can also use low-fat, skim, or plant-based milk, such as coconut, almond, or oat milk.
Chia Seeds – Chia seeds offer many benefits, and this recipe is a great way to include them in your diet.
Saffron & Cardamom – The oats are flavored with Indian spices like saffron and ground green cardamom. Use the best quality spices for the best flavor.
Almonds – Crush the almonds coarsely in a mortar and pestle for this recipe. Apart from the taste, almonds also give a nice crunch.
Honey – Sweeten the oats with honey. You can also replace honey with maple syrup, agave nectar, or granulated sugar. Sugar-free substitutes like stevia or monk fruit also work fine.
How To Make Kesar Badam Overnight Oats
Step 1: Stir together the following ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 teaspoon chia seeds
- 20-25 strands of saffron
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
- ¼ cup crushed almonds
- 4 tablespoon honey
Step 2: Cover the bowl with a lid and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight.
If you are in a hurry, you can soak the oats for at least 2-3 hours. They will not be as soft, though.
Step 3: Add more milk if the oats are too thick, and mix well.
Check for sweetness and add more honey if needed.
Step 4: Top with more crushed almonds and serve chilled.
Note – If you like hot oats, you can heat them in a pan before serving.
Storage Suggestions
Kesar Badam Oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
If you are meal prepping, you can make a big batch at the beginning of the week and then enjoy it for breakfast all week.
