Notes

This flavor combination is inspired by the classic Indian "golden milk" tea drink, which features the powerful spice turmeric. Turmeric has great anti-inflammatory properties and gives dishes a beautiful golden-yellow hue. Wet oatmeal mix can be made in advance, and stored for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Simply scoop out 1 cup serving and bake.
