Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats may become too mushy.
  • Soaking saffron in warm milk helps release its color and aroma more effectively.
  • Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of sweetened condensed milk or adding honey if preferred.
  • Fresh fruits like mango, berries, or banana pair well and add natural sweetness.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
