Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup diced mango or pineapple (optional)
Toppings (optional)
- Fresh fruit
- Nuts
Instructions
- Mix the Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, turmeric, cinnamon, and salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed and the turmeric is well incorporated.
- Add the Coconut and Fruit: Gently fold in the shredded coconut and the diced mango or pineapple if using, to add texture and natural sweetness.
- Portion the Oats: Divide the mixture evenly into two jars or containers with lids to prepare for refrigeration.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jars and place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This resting period allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid fully and soften.
- Stir Before Serving: The next morning, stir the oats well. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of coconut milk to loosen it to your desired consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top with your choice of fresh fruit and nuts for crunch and extra flavor before enjoying your healthy breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute the honey or maple syrup with agave syrup for a vegan option.
- Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free diet.
- Adjust the turmeric quantity based on your taste preference; it has a strong flavor and health benefits.
- Add nuts such as almonds or walnuts for extra protein and crunch.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
