Chai Oatmeal – A Delicious Twist on a Classic Breakfast


If you’re a fan of Starbucks’ Grande Tazo Chai, you’ll love this Chai Oatmeal recipe. The warm and cozy spices of chai blend perfectly with hearty oats, making for a comforting and flavorful brunch. Whether you enjoy it as a filling breakfast or a special treat, this chai-inspired oatmeal is sure to become your new favorite.

Recipe: Chai Oatmeal

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
pinch nutmeg
1 vanilla bean
1/4 cup honey
3/4 cup oats

yogurt, nuts, dried fruit, raisins, coconut or fresh fruit

Instructions:

Pour milk into a saucepan. Whisk in salt and spices. Add vanilla bean and honey. Stir to blend. Bring this mixture to a boil, lower heat, and simmer for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Add the oats and stir. Cover the pan and leave over low heat for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally so that the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

When the oatmeal has thickened to your taste, remove the vanilla bean and serve with yogurt, nuts, dried fruit, raisins, coconut, or fresh fruit and milk.
