TURMERIC OVERNIGHT OATS
TURMERIC OVERNIGHT OATS
An anti-inflammatory breakfast bowl packed with cozy spices, plant-based protein, and creamy coconut milk.
Ingredients
½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
½ cup canned coconut milk (or almond milk)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of black pepper (to enhance turmeric absorption)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
Handful of chopped almonds
Optional toppings: shredded coconut, fresh berries, additional almond milk drizzle
Instructions
Mix the Base:
In a mason jar or container, combine oats, coconut milk, chia seeds, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and maple syrup.
Stir until fully mixed.
Chill Overnight:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Oats will absorb the liquid and become thick and creamy.
Serve:
In the morning, give the oats a good stir.
Top with chopped almonds, shredded coconut, and a splash of almond milk if needed.
Add fresh berries or a drizzle of extra maple syrup if desired.
Enjoy!
Spoon, savor, and glow from the inside out.
Tips for Success
Use full-fat coconut milk for extra creaminess (but almond milk works too).
Always add a pinch of black pepper — it helps your body absorb curcumin, the active compound in turmeric.
Adjust sweetness: Taste after chilling and add more maple syrup or honey if needed.
Meal prep: Make a few jars at once — they keep well for up to 3 days.
