Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats (or gluten-free oat flakes)
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds (optional)
- 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)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 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 them until they are mixed evenly.
- Mix Liquid Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, ground turmeric, fresh ginger, ground cinnamon, black pepper, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the jar. Stir gently to ensure all the oats and seeds are coated and mixed thoroughly.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar tightly with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it soak for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- Add Toppings and Serve: In the morning, take out the oats and top them with toasted sliced almonds and fresh berries for added texture and flavor. Enjoy chilled for a refreshing, nutritious breakfast.
Notes
- Using fresh turmeric and ginger enhances the bright flavors and provides more antioxidants compared to ground forms.
- Chia seeds are optional but add extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with stevia or honey according to your preference.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it an excellent meal prep option.
- Feel free to swap coconut milk with any plant-based milk or dairy milk depending on dietary needs.
- Adjust the amount of black pepper, which helps activate the curcumin in turmeric, according to your taste.
