1teaspoonground turmeric
¼teaspoonground ginger
¼teaspoonground cardamom
¼teaspoonground cinnamon
2tablespoonsboiling water(30 ml)
2cupsplant milk (I like coconut almond milk from Milkman which is essentially equal parts almond milk and coconut water with a little salt and vanilla)(475 ml)
Oats:
1 1/3cupsold-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if intolerant)(100 g)
2tablespoonschia seed(20 g)
2tablespoonshemp hearts(20 g)
1 ½cupsgolden milk (above)(355 ml)
fresh fruit and honey, for serving
Instructions
Golden Milk:
In a medium bowl, combine the honey, turmeric, ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon. Stir to combine, then stir in the boiling water to dissolve the honey. Stir in the plant milk. Taste, adding more honey dissolved in boiling water if you want a sweeter milk.
Oats:
Combine oats, chia, and hemp seeds in a pint canning jar, stirring or shaking to combine. Pour the golden milk into the jar and stir or shake to combine. Chill overnight or up to 3 days. To serve, top with fresh fruit and honey, if desired.
Notes
Variation: Classic Overnight OatsOmit the spices and water. Use maple syrup in place of the honey, dissolving it in the plant milk with a pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla extract. Proceed with the recipe. You'll have a little golden milk left over for sipping, or to splash extra on your oats the next morning. The golden milk is also delicious on its own, warmed gently and poured into mugs. If turmeric is a new flavor to you, you may wish to start with half the amount, adding more to taste if you like.To make this vegan, trade in light maple syrup or coconut nectar for the honey.Nutritional values are based on one of two servings.
