Golden Milk Oatmeal

June 26, 2017 By Penny

I’m beginning to think I could fill a book with oatmeal recipes…maybe I will!

Ever since I read Dr. Greger’s book How Not to Die, I try to get in his recommended daily serving of 1/4 teaspoon turmeric. As discussed in his book, curcumin in turmeric may help prevent or treat lung disease, brain disease, various cancers, inflammatory conditions, and other diseases. Some days I add turmeric to rice or tofu scramble, sometimes I make golden milk (plant milk with turmeric and other spices), and I’ve even tried turmeric in donuts.

When I first tried golden milk, I wasn’t a big fan, and I think it’s because most recipes call for a lot of turmeric. Too much in my opinion. 1/4 teaspoon is all it takes to get the golden color and flavor and since it’s also the daily dozen recommendation, I think it’s the perfect amount.

Turmeric has an intense flavor, even when you only add 1/4 teaspoon. If you want less of the turmeric flavor but still want the health benefits, I’ve found that adding another 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon ((1/4 teaspoon total)) as well as a pinch of nutmeg and cloves helps balance out the flavor. Turmeric has grown on me though, and if you like the flavor, follow the ratios listed in the recipe to keep the spice.

I love the unique flavor of this golden milk oatmeal, and it’s an easy way to get in some daily turmeric. I always add topping to my oatmeal, and this recipe is great topped with cinnamon, walnuts or other nuts, pumpkin seeds, and raisins.  If you try it, let me know what you think in the comments below and/or post a photo on Instagram and tag me (@pennysportal)!
