This beautiful golden turmeric oatmeal tastes amazing topped with fruits like mango and banana and a sprinkling of nuts like walnuts or almonds.
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats 50 g
- 1 cup plant-based milk 240 mL
- 1 tbsp ground flax seed 7 g
- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut 12 g
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/2 tsp each ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cardamom optional
- pinch black pepper
- maple syrup or other sweetener to taste
Instructions
- Add everything except the maple syrup to a small or medium pan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and lightly simmer, stirring frequently, for 7-8 minutes until thickened and the oats are softened.
- Remove from the heat and stir in maple syrup or any other sweetener to taste.
- Scoop into a bowl and enjoy with any toppings you like.
Notes
Start with 3/4 cup water and add a bit more if needed if it's too thick, or you can stir in some almond or coconut milk once it's cooked to adjust the consistency.
I didn't sweeten my oatmeal but if you'd like it a bit sweeter, I'd recommend stirring in 1 tbsp pure maple syrup, coconut sugar or raw honey.
If you're missing one of the spices, not a problem. Just use what you have.
Topping Ideas: Walnuts, almonds or cashews, chopped banana and/or mango almond butter cacao nibs, a drizzle of coconut milk or almond milk,
