What's the secret to achieving creamy Turmeric, Mango and Chia Oats?

The recipe calls for soaking both the rolled oats and chia seeds in water or milk overnight, which helps them absorb liquid and become wonderfully creamy when cooked.

Why are turmeric and black pepper included in this oat recipe?

Turmeric adds a warm color and earthy flavor, while a pinch of black pepper is included to enhance the bioavailability and absorption of turmeric's beneficial compounds.

What type of tahini is recommended for these Turmeric, Mango and Chia Oats?

The recipe specifically calls for 3 tablespoons of hulled tahini, which offers a smoother, less bitter flavor compared to unhulled varieties, perfect for drizzling.

Can I use frozen mango instead of fresh in this recipe?

While the recipe specifies 1/2 fresh mango, frozen mango can be used. Thaw it slightly before adding to the oats during the last 5 minutes of cooking to ensure it warms through.

How should I layer the Turmeric, Mango and Chia Oats for serving?

Spoon the soaked chia mixture into the bottom of a jar or bowl first, then add the slightly cooled turmeric and mango oats on top, finishing with fresh fruit and a tahini drizzle.

How to Prepare Turmeric, Mango and Chia Oats [Vegan]

Soak chia seeds in 1/2 cup water/milk of choice and oats in 1 1/2 cup filtered water overnight.
Place soaked oats into a pot and heat for 5 minutes. Add turmeric, vanilla, black pepper and mango and cook for another 5 minutes until creamy. Add tahini just before serving.
Spoon chia mixture into the bottom of a jar or bowl. Then add slightly cooled oats and top with fresh seasonal fruit (I used mango and young berries) and drizzle with black/white tahini.

Notes

If possible, try and get organic, unstablised rolled oats as they aren't treated with steam which means they retain their high vitamin content, nutritional value and freshness. As they are slightly acidic to the stomach, soak them with a spritzer of lemon juice and a cup of water overnight.
