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 healthy 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.
Storage Suggestions
Kesar Badam Oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. 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 milk) as it makes my oats creamy and rich. However, you can also use low-fat, skim, or plant-based milk like coconut, almond, oat, soy, etc. Chia Seeds – Chia seeds are loaded with many health 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 to use in 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.
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
If you are in a hurry, you can soak the oats for at least 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. Note – If you like hot oats, you can heat them in a pan before serving. If you are meal prepping, you can make a big batch at the beginning of the week and then enjoy them for breakfast all week.
