OATMEAL

A bowl of Oatmeal in the morning (or anytime) is tasty and will keep you satisfied for several hours.

Extra Prep Time: Can be made without presoaking, but consistency
is smoother if soaked for eight to twelve hours.
Quantity: 1 1/2 cups (for one hungry person)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup steel-cut oats
• 1 1/2 tablespoons raisins
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, plus a sprinkle as a garnish when serving
• 3/4 cup water
• apple or pear, chopped but not peeled or cored
• banana and/or berries, fruit slices such as peach, nectarine, plum
  (optional)

Soak oats, raisins and cinnamon in the water for eight to twelve hours in a covered bowl (or in the blender) left on the counter.

Blend the soaked ingredients and the apple or pear.

Serve in a bowl. Sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon. Yummy with banana slices, berries and/or fruit slices on top. Oatmeal is also nice with a bit of Nut Mylk poured over it (see Nut Mylk recipe in “Uncooking With RawRose – Your Guide to Raw Foods”).
