Description
A wholesome twist on the traditional phirni, this Oats Phirni is creamy, naturally sweetened, and rich in fiber. Replacing rice with oats makes it more filling and helps support steadier blood sugar levels. It’s a perfect festive dessert or healthy snack for both kids and adults.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 2 cups low-fat milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
- 2 chopped dates or 1 spoon of monk sugar
- ¼ tsp cardamom powder
- A pinch of saffron
- 1 tsp chopped pistachios
- 1 tsp chopped almonds
- 1 tsp chia seeds or flaxseed powder
Instructions
- Dry roast the rolled oats for 2-3 minutes until aromatic. Cool and grind into a coarse powder.
