Ingredients

Golden Milk Base

  • 1 1/2 cups Non-Dairy Milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Turmeric (about 2") or 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Grated Ginger or 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon Agave Syrup (or maple syrup, coconut sugar, or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Black Pepper

Oats

  • 1 cup Rolled Oats (ensure certified gluten-free if necessary)

Optional Toppings

  • Shredded Coconut
  • Goji Berries
  • Blueberries
  • Nuts
  • Seeds
  • Nut Butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the golden milk base: In a small saucepan, combine the non-dairy milk, full-fat coconut milk, fresh turmeric (or turmeric powder), fresh grated ginger (or ground ginger), ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, agave syrup, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly to blend the spices and sweetener evenly. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Add the oats and simmer: Once the golden milk mixture has boiled, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the rolled oats, and allow the oatmeal to cook gently until the oats absorb all the liquid, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. If you prefer a thinner consistency, slowly stir in extra non-dairy milk to achieve your desired texture.
  3. Serve and garnish: Spoon the cooked golden turmeric oatmeal into two bowls. Top each serving with your choice of optional toppings such as shredded coconut, goji berries, blueberries, nuts, seeds, or a dollop of nut butter for added flavor and texture. Serve warm to enjoy the full comforting effect.

Notes

  • Use fresh turmeric and ginger for the most vibrant flavor, but powdered versions work well as substitutes.
  • The pinch of black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more agave syrup or your preferred sweetener according to taste.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
  • For a creamier texture, increase the amount of full-fat coconut milk.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated with a splash of milk.
