Raw oatmeal recipe

I am new to raw eating (bout 2 months now). I was sprouting oats,buckwheat and sesame for a day or two after soaking overnight, and have been eating this with berries every morning. However, now that it is cold here I don't find this satisfying. I want something warmer. So I ground raw oats in my vitamix with hemp seeds, chia seeds, dehydrated rosehips, some hazelnuts, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. I fill a small bowl with hot water and stir about 7 tsp of the mixture into it and let it sit covered for 5 minutes or so(not too long, I want it warm.) It thickens into a porridge, and tasted unusual at first, but more appealing (to me) with each mouthful. Is it still considered raw if I use hot (not boiling water?) I do not have time to prepare breakfast most days so this is something portable I can prepare ahead of time and take to work for my coffee break. I feel somehow clearer, less foggy, since I started the raw diet. Thanks for your informative site.

I made this for breakfast this morning. I didn't tell my husband its raw. I asked him if he would eat this again and he said yes. Thanks for the recipe :-)

Do you cut your own steel cut oats? If so, what works best for you?

I was wondering if instead of raisins I could mix in a little banana? I don't care for raisins.....looks yummy though :)

I put mine in pint mason jars to bring to work - and I accidentally let one ferment overnight. it was so good the next day! Had a nice nutty flavor & was even smoother & creamier. I make it without the fruit, just the oats and water.

Yummmmm! I ate this for dinner tonight. It was so good! But I didn't read the serving size until after I made it. It's only me here....so can I store this in the fridge? How do I "warm it up" for later? Super good recipe!

Simply the best!! One of our favorite go to breakfasts! Thanks!

Sounds great, but is it not necessary to rinse the oats after soaking?

Hi Laura :)

I am from Perth Western Australia and have been on raw food for about 6 weeks now and get a lot of my recipes from your site :) Great recipes! I just have a question, Are Groats just normal oats ? or organic oats? I only know of oats here :) hope you don't mind clearing my confusion :)

Thank you

Hi Laura, I love your site and you're really inspiring. You showed me the many possibilities that lie in living one's passion! I tried the Raw Breakfast Bowl yesterday and I wasn't too keen on the result because I added too much almond milk (and mine is powdered almond milk) and the apple was too big, I didn't add enough raisins ... but I am looking forward to making it again!

Last night I decided to try this raw oatmeal recipe, but I didn't use raw oatmeal groats, just oat flakes (I will get round to buying raw when the flakes are all eaten). I was DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEElighted!!!!! It tasted sooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooooood, unbelievably good. I'm also grateful for the comments left by other viewers about not blending too long, so I didn't and it was great. I find it incredible that I'm enjoying a bowl of cool oatmeal!

I have used oat groats twice, and when eating it I have had a rather unpleasant taste at the back of my tongue/throat. The second time it was not so bad. I wonder if it is because the oats are not fresh enough?
Could there be other reasons for this taste?
Thanks for the great info in your site.

I had this morning, very creamy and yummy. I am surprised how filling it is. I struggled a bit with it not being hot, (rainy winter morning in New Zealand) but I still really enjoyed it. I think this will become a regular breakfast as I embark on this journey to increase my raw food intake. Thanks so much!
