Vegan golden turmeric oatmeal has become a go-to breakfast! Years ago if you told me I’d be eating turmeric in my oats I would’ve said, what is turmeric?! It is amazing how a more diverse culture is shifting the spices we use in our daily foods and recipes. Turmeric is a widely studied spice for its active components that have been shown to decrease inflammation and even certain cancers! These oats have just enough turmeric to give a little spice, but not too much to overpower your palate.
And if you want even more benefits, try turmeric and oatmeal for your skin! Turmeric and oats mixed together with plain yogurt is a super hydrating skin mask. Turmeric oatmeal mask: ⅛ cup oats (slightly ground up in a blender or coffee grinder) + 1 teaspoon ground turmeric + 1-2 tablespoons plain whole milk greek yogurt.
CAN I ADD TURMERIC TO MY OATS?
Yes! Add 1-2 teaspoons of turmeric to any bowl of oatmeal for an extra health boost. Always make sure that your turmeric mix has black pepper included, which boosts turmeric absorption!
GOLDEN TURMERIC OATMEAL BENEFITS

TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST DELICIOUS GOLDEN OATS EVER
MAKE SURE TURMERIC POWDER HAS BLACK PEPPER. Black pepper increases the absorption of turmeric up to 2000x!!
USE ROLLED OATS. Rolled oats cook quickly and give you a great oatmeal texture. And they have just about the same amount of fiber as steel cut oats, but don't take forever to cook!
USE FROZEN PINEAPPLE. If it is winter time, frozen fruits & vegetables have the most amount of nutrients rather than buying fresh in the winter.
STIR OCCASIONALLY OVER MEDIUM-LOW HEAT. To prevent gummy oats, don't stir them constantly!
ADD YOUR FAVORITE DELICIOUS TOPPINGS. Toppings on oats make oatmeal way more interesting and way more delicious!
FAQs
IS OATMEAL INFLAMMATORY OR ANTI-INFLAMMATORY?
A lot of my clients ask me, does oatmeal create inflammation in the body? The answer is NO! Oatmeal does not cause inflammation. The only time oatmeal would cause inflammation in your body is if you are allergic to it. Or, if you added sugar and other sweeteners.
CAN I ADD GINGER TO OATS?
Yes! Ginger is super delicious with turmeric. You can make ginger turmeric oatmeal by simply grating about ¼ inch of fresh ginger into your oats before cooking. Or, add about ⅛ teaspoon dry ground ginger.
HOW DO I MAKE OATMEAL WITH TURMERIC AND CINNAMON?
Simply add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon along with your turmeric powder. My homemade turmeric mix is made with cinnamon and other warm spices!
HOW DO I MAKE BLUEBERRY TURMERIC OATMEAL?
Instead of pineapple, substitute 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries (depending on what season it is).
HOW DO I MAKE TURMERIC OVERNIGHT OATS INSTEAD OF STOVETOP?
Add all ingredients to a glass jar and cover tightly with a lid. Store in the fridge overnight and then heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
