Indian Overnight Oats is a nutritious and flavorful twist on classic overnight oats, blending wholesome oats with creamy yogurt, milk, and aromatic Indian spices. This no-cook, easy-to-prepare breakfast can be refrigerated overnight, allowing the oats to soak up the flavors and provide a hearty, filling meal to start your day.

Ingredients

Scale

Oats

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt

Spices

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or a jar, add the rolled oats, milk, plain yogurt, ground cardamom, cinnamon, and ground ginger if using. Add honey or maple syrup if you prefer some sweetness. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until combined.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the mixture with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill and soak overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours to allow the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
  3. Serve Cold: In the morning, stir the oats gently. You can add fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds as toppings if desired. Serve cold directly from the refrigerator for a refreshing and hearty breakfast.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats can become too mushy.
  • You can substitute milk and yogurt with plant-based alternatives like almond milk and coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version.
  • Add chopped nuts, fresh mango, or banana slices to enhance flavors and nutrition.
  • Adjust sweetness according to your taste or skip sweeteners altogether for a savory version by adding a pinch of salt and chopped herbs.
