What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups coconut milk
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 0.5 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Heat the Milk
Pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan and warm over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil as this can destroy some of the delicate nutrients.
Step 2: Add Oats and Spices
Stir in the rolled oats, ground turmeric, and ground ginger. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the oats.
Step 3: Cook the Oatmeal
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached a creamy consistency.
Step 4: Finish and Serve
Remove from heat and stir in the raw honey. Transfer to bowls and top with chia seeds. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
