I start my day with oatmeal plenty because it is easy to personalize for whatever I'm feeling at the moment. At times I add peanut butter, jelly, chocolate chips, toasted coconut and more. This recipe I'm sharing now began after a trip to a coffee shop on vacation. I had a delicious cup of warmed turmeric milk and came home wanting to "turmeric milk" everything, like waffles, pancakes and even oatmeal.

Ingredients

Candied Pecans:

Directions

Special equipment:
Slow Cooker
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Add to a 4-quart Dutch oven the almond milk, oats, almond slivers, cranberries, raisins, brown sugar, chia seeds and turmeric milk powder. Stir to combine, then cover and transfer to the oven. Bake, stirring a few times throughout, until the oats are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (You can also cook this in a slow cooker on low for 45 minutes to 1 hour.)
  3. For the candied pecans: Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  4. Heat the brown sugar, butter, salt, lemon zest and juice and in a saucepan over medium heat until the mixture is bubbling and the sugar has dissolved. Add the pecans. Toss to combine and continue cooking until the pecans are fully coated and the sugar has thickened. Spread the candied pecans on the parchment to cool completely. Chop.
  5. Add the oats to a serving bowl and top with almond milk, candied pecans and a dusting of cinnamon sugar.
