Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
  • Pinch of ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: sliced banana, toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Measure 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds into a mason jar or airtight container.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, a pinch of black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Pour 1 cup of milk over the oats and chia seeds. Stir in 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (if using) and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Add the mixed spices into the jar and stir thoroughly to combine, using a whisk if possible to avoid turmeric clumps.
  5. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow oats to soften and absorb flavors.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen.
  7. Top with your favorite toppings such as sliced banana, toasted coconut, or nuts and enjoy.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; steel-cut oats won’t soften enough overnight. Whisk spices into milk to avoid clumps. Always include black pepper to activate turmeric benefits. Adjust sweetness to taste and add toppings just before serving. Store in refrigerator up to 3 days. Warm gently if desired but avoid overheating.
