Description

By Naomi Jackson, from her article "Eat Your Oats and Grow Strong!"

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

  • 1 c whole oats
  • 1 1⁄2 c warm filtered water
  • 4 T whey, yogurt, kefir, or buttermilk (if you have dairy allergies, use lemon juice or vinegar.)
  • 1 t sea salt
  • 1 1⁄2 c filtered water

Instructions

Place oats on a baking sheet and bake at 350° until they turn light brown. Process roasted oats to a medium grind in a home grinder. (The resultant meal will be part flour, part small bits.) Add 1½ cups warm filtered water and whey, yogurt, kefir, or buttermilk to the meal, and soak it 7 to 24 hours in a warm place.

Bring 1½ cups of filtered water and sea salt to a boil. Add soaked oatmeal and cook over very low heat, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes.
