Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger root, grated
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • 1 cup (240ml) full-fat coconut milk (can substitute almond or oat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (optional, can use dairy-free yogurt)
  • Fresh fruit or nuts for topping (e.g., berries, banana slices, chopped almonds)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Golden Milk Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240ml) full-fat coconut milk, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger, a pinch of black pepper, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
  2. Mix the Oats and Chia Seeds: Add 1 cup (90g) rolled oats and 2 tablespoons chia seeds to the golden milk mixture. Stir well to coat all oats.
  3. Add Optional Greek Yogurt: Fold in 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt if using for extra creaminess and protein.
  4. Transfer to Jar: Pour the mixture into a glass jar or airtight container. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. Serve and Add Toppings: Stir the oats well in the morning. Add your favorite toppings like fresh berries, sliced banana, or chopped nuts. Serve chilled or gently warmed with a splash of milk if desired.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; fresh grated ginger enhances flavor; black pepper is essential to activate turmeric benefits; soak at least 6 hours for creaminess; gently reheat with splash of milk if desired; can substitute plant-based yogurt and milk for vegan version.
