Raw Food Diet – Free recipes and tips by The Rawtarian

In the morning, my raw food breakfast is almost always either fresh fruit, a green smoothie, or–my favourite–raw oatmeal.

This recipe does take a bit of preparation because it has to be soaked overnight, but, with only three ingredients, it’s so easy!

If you click on this photo you can see the high-resolution version, which shows you how smooth and creamy this oatmeal is.

All this without “cooking” anything.

Of course, like any good oatmeal, top this recipe with fruit or whatever suits your fancy.

Raw oatmeal for two

• 1 cup steel cut oats (or better yet, use oat groats)
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 chopped apple

The night before, throw the water and then the steel cut oats into your blender. Let them sit overnight.

In the morning, start your blender. While the water and oats are blending, chop the apple and then add it to the blender, too.

Continue blending until the oatmeal is a nice, smooth texture.

Eat! I love to top this oatmeal with raisins and a sprinkle of cinnamon. This recipe for raw oatmeal makes for a very filling breakfast.

PS: It has recently come to my attention that the rawness of steel cut oats and even oat groats in this recipe is disputed! Check out this discussion on the raw nature of oats.
