Instructions
- Stir together oats, yogurt, milk, chia seeds, saffron, cardamom powder, crushed almonds, and honey, in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- 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 a minimum of 2-3 hours. They will not be as soft though.
- Add more milk if the oats are too thick and mix well.
- Check for sweetness and add more honey if needed.
- Top with more crushed almonds and serve chilled.
If you like the oats hot, then you can heat them in a pan before serving.
