Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats (or gluten-free oat flakes)
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds (optional)
Liquid & Spices
- 1 cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Turmeric (or fresh turmeric)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger (or ground ginger)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (fresh ground is best)
- 1 pinch Black Pepper (freshly ground is best)
- 2 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup (or stevia)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Toppings
- 1/4 cup Sliced Almonds (toasted) (or other nuts/seeds)
- 1/2 cup Fresh Berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium jar, add the rolled oats and chia seeds. Stir gently to mix the ingredients evenly throughout the container.
- Prepare Spice Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, ground turmeric, fresh ginger, ground cinnamon, black pepper, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until all spices are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Mix Liquids with Oats: Pour the spiced coconut milk mixture over the oats and chia seeds. Stir gently to ensure everything is combined and coated evenly.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar tightly with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it soak for at least 8 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- Add Toppings and Serve: The next morning, remove the oats from the fridge and top with toasted sliced almonds and fresh berries for a delightful crunch and fresh taste. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Chia seeds are optional but add extra fiber and omega-3s.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or using a sugar substitute like stevia.
- Use fresh turmeric and ginger when possible for the best flavor and health benefits.
- To toast almonds, simply heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
- This recipe is easily customizable—swap berries for your favorite fruits or nuts for your preferred crunch.
- For a creamier texture, you can soak overnight oats for up to 12 hours.
