Golden Turmeric Oats

When you’re feeling under the weather, and you are wanting a cozy breakfast - defs add turmeric oats to your menu.

This 1-pot oat and turmeric oatmeal recipe is perfect for satisfying that healing craving.

I combine anti-inflammatory spices are added.— turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, nutmeg (optional), and clove (optional) — individually.

Golden milk is an Indian drink with roots in Ayurveda. And turmeric is the star of the spice mix used to make it! This magical spice has been used in India for nearly 4,000 years and has gained popularity throughout the world in part due to its vast medicinal uses. (source)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To improve digestibility and remove phytic acid from the oats, soak overnight by adding to a medium saucepan, cover with cool water by 1 inch, and adding salt and vinegar (both optional). Stir and cover. Soak at room temperature overnight or for at least 6 hours (24 hours max). Once soaked, drain and rinse.

2. Once oats are soaked and drained well, add back to medium saucepan with water and coconut milk. Bring to a low boil over high heat. Once a low boil is reached, reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until oats are tender and the liquid is almost fully absorbed. Add more coconut milk or water as needed if oats appear dry or are sticking to bottom of pan.

3. Add individual spices — and maple syrup/protein and stir to combine. Then taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness or Golden Milk Mix or spices for more warmth / spice.

4. Serve with additional coconut milk/ coconut yogurt and enjoy as is or garnish with toppings of choice, such as bee pollen, banana slices, coconut butter / flakes, or peanut butter. I love to add mango as well!

5. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding more water or dairy-free milk to thin. Alternatively, store in the freezer up to 1 month. Freeze into individual serving sizes and thaw the night before or cook from frozen on the stovetop or microwave until hot, adding more water or dairy-free milk as needed.
