Overnight or Stovetop Golden Oats
Ingredients (2 servings)
* 1 medium apple, grated (leave skin on)
* 1 cup rolled oats or ½ cup steel-cut oats
* 1 ½ cups unsweetened nondairy milk (plus more as needed)
* 2 tablespoons golden raisins (optional)
* 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or seeds
* 1–2 teaspoons date syrup (to taste)
* ½ teaspoon cinnamon
* ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
* ¼ teaspoon turmeric
* Pinch of black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)
Option 1: Cooked Oatmeal
1. In a saucepan, combine nondairy milk, grated apple, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, and vanilla. Bring to a gentle simmer.
2. Stir in oats.
* For rolled oats: cook 5–7 minutes, stirring until creamy.
* For steel-cut oats: cook 20–25 minutes, adding extra milk if needed.
3. Stir in raisins and walnuts. Drizzle with date syrup before serving.
Option 2: Overnight Oats
1. In a jar or container, combine rolled oats (steel-cut oats don’t soften enough for this), grated apple, nondairy milk, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, vanilla, raisins, and walnuts.
2. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours).
3. In the morning, stir again and drizzle with date syrup. Add extra nondairy milk if too thick.
Serve with unsweetened plant-based Greek-style yogurt for more protein!
