Sprouted Oatmeal Cereal

Here's another "raw food" recipe that I have used quite a few times. It's for another breakfast cereal made from oat groats.

 The first main problem I had was actually finding oat groats. 

Oat Groats




















Groats are essentially the hulled grains without much else done to them. It's easy to find rolled oats (oat groats flattened, pancake style), steel cut oats (the oats that Oprah is always talking about) but oats "aux naturelle"...no luck here. The closest I've come is toasted oat groats, which is not really what you want to use for raw food meals. No heat should be involved in the process...

Anyways, here's assuming you find them!


Sprouted Oatmeal
1 cup whole oat groats, soaked overnight in 2 cups of water then rinsed well before using
1/4 cup of agave syrup or pitted dates
1 tbp water
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup raisins
1/ 4 cup walnuts

Place the oat groats, syrup (or dates), water, and cinnamon in a food processor.
Process the mixture until it is well mixed;resembling cooked oatmeal. Stir in the raisins and walnuts.
