Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of black pepper
- Chopped nuts for topping
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, turmeric powder, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper. The black pepper helps activate the curcumin in turmeric, enhancing its absorption and health benefits.
- Whisk all ingredients together thoroughly until the turmeric and spices are completely integrated with the oats and milk, ensuring no dry clumps remain. The mixture should have a golden-yellow color from the turmeric.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, creating an airtight seal to prevent moisture loss and protect the oats from absorbing other refrigerator odors.
- Place the covered bowl in the refrigerator and allow the oats to soak overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours. During this time, the oats will absorb the liquid and spices, creating a creamy and flavorful breakfast.
- In the morning, give the overnight oats a gentle stir to redistribute the spices and ensure a consistent texture.
- Transfer the oats to serving bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts like almonds or pecans for added crunch and nutrition.
- If desired, drizzle additional maple syrup on top for extra sweetness, and enjoy your Golden Milk Overnight Oats chilled or at room temperature.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality turmeric powder for the most potent flavor and health benefits.
- Always add a pinch of black pepper with turmeric to enhance curcumin absorption.
- For extra creaminess, you can substitute part of the almond milk with coconut milk.
- Prep your oats in individual mason jars for easy portioning and grab-and-go convenience.
- Experiment with different nut toppings like pistachios or walnuts for varied textures.
- If you prefer a warmer breakfast, you can gently heat the oats in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
- Store prepared overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days for quick, healthy breakfasts throughout the week.
