Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, coconut milk, water, chia seeds, maple syrup, turmeric, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are tender and the oatmeal has thickened to your desired consistency. If the oatmeal becomes too thick, stir in a splash of additional coconut milk or water.
Divide the oatmeal between bowls and top with fresh berries and any optional toppings such as coconut flakes, nut butter, or hemp seeds. Serve warm.

Notes

Make it meal prep friendly: Prepare the oatmeal as directed and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of coconut milk.

To freeze: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Place in the refrigerator to thaw the night before or reheat from frozen.

Turmeric tip: For additional absorption of turmeric’s beneficial compounds, you can add a small pinch of black pepper.
