Method
 

  1. Add oats, milk, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and salt to a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  3. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and creamy.
  4. Stir in maple syrup and vanilla extract.

Notes

Stir the oatmeal frequently while cooking to prevent sticking and create a creamy texture. Coconut milk makes the oatmeal especially rich and flavorful. Add extra milk for a thinner consistency if desired. Sweeten gradually and customize with toppings like fruit, nuts, chia seeds, or granola.
