Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Water or Plant-Based Milk (Almond, Soy, or Oat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • Pinch Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds or Flax Seeds (optional)
  • 1-2 teaspoon Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)
  • To taste Toppings (optional): Berries, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut

Preparation

In a small saucepan, combine rolled oats, water or plant-based milk, ground ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper. The black pepper helps with the absorption of turmeric.

Cooking

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are cooked and the mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Adding Extras

Stir in chia seeds or flax seeds (if using) for added nutrients and fiber. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup to taste, if desired.

Serving

Pour the oatmeal into a bowl and top with your favorite toppings such as berries, nuts, seeds, or shredded coconut. Serve immediately and enjoy!
