Ingredients
Scale
- ½ tsp coconut oil
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch of black pepper*
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup non-dairy milk, plus more as necessary
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt coconut oil in a small pot over medium low heat, then add in spices and toast for 30 seconds. Add rolled oats and toast for another 2 minutes.
- Add non-dairy milk and vanilla extract, stirring occasionally until it reaches a boil. Reduce to low and simmer uncovered for 3-5 minutes until thickened, then cover with the lid, turn off heat, and let oats rest for 1 minute.
- Stir in maple syrup and vanilla extract, and more milk to desired consistency. Serve topped with fresh fruit and drizzled with nut butter.
Notes
- The black pepper helps the body absorb the turmeric.
- To caramelize bananas, cut lengthwise in half, or slice into coins, sprinkle coconut sugar on both sides, and fry in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned.
- Topping ideas: raisins, nut butter, fresh fruit (blueberries, raspberries, sliced oranges), cacao nibs, nuts and seeds (shelled hemp, pumpkin or sunflower seeds, walnuts, pecans, etc.).
