Turmeric Ginger Oats

Turmeric Ginger Oats

Yield: 2 serving

Ingredients:

  •  3/4 cup organic rolled or old fashioned oats

  • 3/4 cup water

  • 3/4 cup milk of choice

  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 

  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom

  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric

  • 1 pinch of black pepper (increases turmeric’s bioavailability)

  • 1/2 tsp fresh grated ginger (or sub 1/4 tsp ground ginger)

  • 1/2 tsp maple syrup for sweetness (optional)

  • Add-in: 2 pitted dates diced or 2 tsp of raisins, 1 tbsp of pepitas or any other seed

  • Top with 2 tsp unsweetened coconut flakes (1 tsp per bowl)

Instructions:

  1. Pour water and almond milk into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. 

  2. Add oats and bring to a low boil while stirring occasionally. 

  3. Add spices and stir. 

  4. Chop dates into small pieces and add to the oatmeal along with your desired seeds. Mix.

  5. Cook for 5-7 minutes (depends on your stove and pot). Most of the liquid should be absorbed and the oats should be soft. If you like a soupier consistency, add more water or almond milk. 

  6. Top with unsweetened coconut flakes.

  7. Cool and enjoy.
