What Are Overnight Oats?
Overnight oats are made by soaking rolled oats in liquid overnight. This method of preparing oats keeps the integrity of the oat intact, helping to avoid that gummy texture that cooked versions sometimes take on. They’re simple to prepare (no cooking required!) and packed with nutrition. And since they’re made with uncooked oats, they’re a great source of resistant starch — a type of fiber that feeds our beneficial gut bacteria! Keep reading for our golden milk-inspired version.

Golden Milk Overnight Oats
This flavor variation owes its warming, delicious flavor to golden milk spices: turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and optional nutmeg and clove. You can either add the spices individually or make a batch of golden milk spice mix to have on hand for speedy golden milk everything — overnight oats, granola, snack bites, and more! Learn more about golden milk and its health benefits here. For these overnight oats, coconut milk provides the creamy base, maple syrup provides the sweetness, and almond butter adds swirls of creaminess + protein. All that’s left is some chia seeds for a little crunch and omega 3s. After letting the oats soak into the liquid and spices overnight, these overnight oats are nearly ready for serving. Just top with sliced banana for sweetness and a potassium boost. Other delicious (but optional) toppings include coconut flakes, coconut yogurt, and coconut milk, plus a swirl of maple syrup for extra sweetness! We hope you LOVE these overnight oats!
