Ingredients
Scale
Oats
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
Liquids
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup yogurt (plain, preferably Greek or low-fat)
Spices
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)
Sweetener
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, add the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, and spices (cardamom, cinnamon, and optional nutmeg). Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Add Sweetener: Drizzle the honey over the mixture and stir again to incorporate the sweetness throughout.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and the flavors to meld together perfectly.
- Serve Chilled: After refrigeration, give the oats a good stir and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with chopped nuts, fresh fruits, or a sprinkle of additional spices before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with almond milk or other plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the honey quantity to taste or replace it with maple syrup or agave nectar for different sweetness.
- For extra texture, add chopped nuts or seeds before serving.
- Use plain yogurt to keep the flavor balanced; flavored yogurts can change the taste and sugar content.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
