# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl or mason jar, add the rolled oats, coconut milk, coconut yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
02 - Add ground turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and cardamom to the base. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly tinted and the spices are fully mixed in.
03 - Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid and meld flavors.
