Recipe Directions
- 1. OPTIONAL TO SOFTEN: The night before, throw the water, raisins and then oats into your blender. Let them sit overnight.
- 2. In the morning, start your blender (and if you didn't soak the night before, throw the water, raisins and then the oats into your blender). While the water and oats are blending, chop the apple and then add it to the blender, too.
- 3. Continue blending until the oatmeal is a nice, smooth texture.
- 4. Eat! I love to top this oatmeal with more whole raisins and a sprinkle of cinnamon. This recipe makes for a very filling breakfast.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian In the morning, my breakfast is almost always either fresh fruit, a green smoothie, or--my favourite--quick, blended oatmeal.
This recipe does take a bit of preparation because it should be soaked overnight, but, with only a few ingredients, it's so easy! (PS: You can do it without soaking but it won't be as smooth.)
Of course, like any good oatmeal, top this recipe with fruit or whatever suits your fancy!
PS: It has recently come to my attention that eating truly uncooked oats is not safe. Thus, I have modified this recipe to use quick rolled oats, which have been cooked but are way better for your digestive system. Truly raw (uncooked) oats are very tough on the digestive system and should not be eaten because of their high amount of phytic acid.

I am pretty confused about what oats to use here. I used to make this with steel cut oats and soak in fridge in alot of water. I am horrified to learn that was not good. I wanted to use that recipe again for a change in my breakfast. Which oat product can I use in a smoothie or overnight oat soaking situation? Is there any option, or are oats a no no unless you cook them on the stove or microwave the normal way when making oatmeal?

Do you just leave the oats on the counter?

I just wanted to drop a note and say that I take all my rolled oats (as soon as they are purchased) and toast them in the oven at the lowest setting of my oven (170 degrees) for 3 hours and that breaks down the phytic acid so then, you could use rolled oats instead of quick oats in this recipe. I think you should list that as an option in your PS comments so that others know it too. I have eliminated quick oats entirely from my diet and would have turned this recipe down if I did not previously know about the toasting aspect. Thanks! :)

Rolled oats are made with heat, so the phytic acid is already broken down.
They are not raw.

Soaked oats are the same as cooked: http://claireobeid.com/why-you-should-never-eat-raw-oats/

The texture is gummy for the oatmeal. I didn't soak the night before and I used quickoats.

Raw oatmeal recipe
Hi!
First of all, thank youfor your recipes, they're great (especially the banana cream pie, even non-raw-foodists LOVED it!)
Sencond, I see a lot of recipes with oats. I've been told, that oats are not good in a raw food diet.. But sometimes I really want to eat an oatmeal, and I don't have raw oats, only Quaker.. Do you think, as a raw-foodist who probably know more than Ido, that it's okay once in a while, or should I try to not eat it at all?

Hi Linoya!
Eating uncooked oats is not good for you. They are somewhat toxic when raw so do stay away from eating them uncooked.
If you are going to eat oats, please cook them. :)

That's for sure, but instant oats are healthy at all?

They are pre-cooked, I believe.

Raw oatmeal recipe
The taste was great but it is just too gummy of a texture for me. I might try not soaking it overnight and see if that is better.

Hi Jessica! Thanks for your review. To be honest, I am not crazy about this recipe anymore either. I think it needs some tweaking!!

You can use really raw oats!
Soak them 12-24 hours with double the amount of water, 1tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1tbsp buckwheat flour. Buckwheat contains phytase which will pre-digest the phytic acid for ya! Drain and rinse well before adding to the recipe.

Thanks for your note - this sounds like an excellent solution!!! How did you figure this out?

I'm in school to become a certified holistic nutrition consultant, so I'm always looking for ways to optimize nutrition for vegans. I actually found the buckwheat flour idea on a marksdailyapple.com forum thread, and the reasoning is totally sound. I've done it a few times and made it into overnight oats, and I didn't have any issues even though I don't tolerate grains well.

Thanks very much for sharing your finds. This is a good one. I appreciate the nudge in this direction, because the oat issue has been perplexing me for a long time now.
Please share any other juicy tidbits that you discover.
And yay for the world that you're in school and are contributing to make the world a better place. The world needs that special something that only you have.

Can we use quick cooking oats even though we are not heating them? What would be the benefit or difference between using steel cut oats and rolled oats?
The Rawtarian

Hi Aiyana,
It is not healthy or safe to eat uncooked oats. They are high in phytic acid which is bad for digestion.
Even soaking overnight oats are not a good idea, in my opinion. (Unless you are using pre-cooked oats, like quick oats, which are not raw and those are fine to eat because they are already cooked.)
I am not an anal person and I don't really care about whether you eat organic or soak your nuts etc, but, truly, eating uncooked oats is bad for your health.

Pre-cooked oats? That's not raw.

Thank you for your feedback. I made the recipe and lightly heated the oatmeal. It tasted great!
