    These Turmeric Overnight Oats are great way to get some turmeric and ginger into your diet, which I've been doing for the last few years. 

    I normally add turmeric and ginger to my morning smoothie. I also take turmeric gummies daily.

    Other recipes with turmeric are my No-Bake Turmeric Energy Bites, Vegan Turmeric Ice Cream, Vegan Turmeric Latte, and Turmeric Banana Smoothie.

    Turmeric also tastes great in salad dressing, like my Turmeric Tahini Dressing.

    A long time kombucha maker, I've added it to some of my kombucha recipes, like my Ginger Turmeric Kombucha.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It's got turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon which adds a warm spice flavor.
    • Made the night before, it's great for meal prep.
    • It's super easy to customize; add protein powder or vegan Greek yogurt for some protein or add some nuts for some crunch.

     

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Rolled oats: Rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) work best for overnight oats. I used gluten-free rolled oats. They get soft enough while not being too mushy. You could use quick oats, but you won't have as much texture. You could also use steel-cut oats. If you do you'll want to soak them for the full 8 hours or more. You'll have more texture than rolled oats.
    • Soy milk: You can use vanilla almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, or any dairy-free milk.
    • Turmeric, ground ginger, and cinnamon: Add a warm spice flavor.
    • Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup, brown sugar, coconut sugar, or your favorite sweetener.
    • Chia seeds (optional): I added chia seeds for some protein and fiber. You can leave them out if you like.
    • Salt: Enhances sweetness. I like to use sea salt.
    • Black pepper: Helps the absorption of turmeric. A pinch is such a small amount that you won't even taste it.
    • Chopped mango or banana: Adds a sweet fruity flavor. Add your favorite fruit or leave it out.

    To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    🔪 Instructions

    Ingredients for turmeric overnight oats in a mason jar before resting overnight.

    Step 1: Add all turmeric overnight oats ingredients except mango to a mason jar or airtight container.

    Step 2: Stir the oat mixture and let sit overnight. In the morning add chopped mango or banana.

    💭 Tips

    • You may want more liquid than I've listed. Start with the amount shown and check the consistency in the morning to see if you want more after it's been absorbed.
    • Add fresh fruit right before you eat it.
    • If you try this with vegan yogurt or coconut milk you may want more liquid because it will make the oats thick and dense.

    🍽 Serving

    You can eat this overnight oatmeal straight from the fridge or heat it up in a bowl if you wish. To heat them, remove the lid and microwave at 30 second intervals until warmed to your liking.

    🥡 Storage

    This recipe will last about 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
