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 made this and it taste so yummy! I love your recipes:)
My oats came out gummy though, can you tell me what I may have done wrong? I want to make this again.

If it is coming out gummy you are blending it for too long. the mixture should have a bit of texture. I would also like to point out that 1 1/4 cup of steel cut oats is enough for at least 2 people. if you eat it at one sitting you certainly will be full!

Mine too, it came out like glue, but I left out the apple. I'm trying again tomorrow with a few dates in the soak and then add the toppings.

The apple is definitely necessary, although it is always slightly glue like. :) But if you are not digging this recipe you can try http://www.therawtarian.com/rawtarians-raw-breakfast-bowl instead

Sometimes it can be a little glue-like :)
Try adding a bit more liquid in this case

FYi...a great source for truly raw oat flour, flakes & more is www.sunriseflourmill.com
This is a small, family owned mill and they are super friendly and helpful. Delicious oats!

I made something similar to this. Soak 1/2 cup steel cut oats and 5 pitted dates in water overnight. Then in the morning put it in the blender with a banana and some flax seed. Topped it with fresh strawberries and cinnamon. I am new to eating raw also. Only on day 5. Thanks for all the great ideas.

Hi!
How long do you let your Vitamix run for while blending your oatmeal? I've never made raw oatmeal and I'm just starting my raw journey (6 weeks in) but I have a Vitamix and am going to make this tomorrow for breakfast. Just want to know how long to blend it.

Until it's super silky smooth - in a Vitamix that's probably about 1 minute - I usually monitor by touching the outside of the carafe - once the mixture is starting to get warm then I know that it's ready - I don't let mixture get very hot, but you want it smooth

So you eat it cold?
The Rawtarian
Sep 29, 2011
Well, it's not piping hot but it's not "cold" per se.
If you have a high speed blender and you eat it right away it will be warm from the friction :) Try it :)

This sounds good will try it. I do one with oats and steel cut oats. I use organic apple juice, quartered plums, sunflower seeds, chopped almonds, grated apple. Love it

Dang, that combo sounds dee-lish!
You are making me crave oatmeal again, and I haven't had it in a long time. :) Especially the plum/sunflower seed combo. Yum!
