Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned rolled oats preferred)
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk (can substitute oat or coconut milk)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (high-quality organic preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (natural sweetener, adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Fresh or dried fruits for topping (e.g., sliced banana, berries, raisins)
  • Nuts or seeds for topping (e.g., chopped almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk with 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk well to avoid lumps.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
  3. Add 1 cup (90g) rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds to the golden milk mixture. Stir until oats are fully coated and chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly into two mason jars or airtight containers, leaving room at the top for toppings.
  5. Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soak and soften.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats gently and top with fresh sliced banana, berries, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice can brighten flavors. Whisk turmeric thoroughly to avoid clumps. Black pepper enhances turmeric absorption. Can substitute honey with maple syrup for vegan version. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days or freeze without toppings for up to 1 month.
