Main ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, turmeric powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and honey. Stir well until everything is nicely incorporated.
  • If you're adding Greek yogurt, gently fold it into the mixture for added creaminess.
  • Divide the oats mixture into jars or containers with lids.
  • Seal the jars and refrigerate them overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  • When you wake up in the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they're too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Top with chopped nuts, dried fruits, and a drizzle of extra honey if you wish. Serve and enjoy your delightful creation!

Notes

Experiment with toppings like sliced bananas, grated coconut, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds. For a more indulgent experience, pair with seasonal fruits or a smoothie.
