Raw Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Oatmeal
I've already posted on my love for all things oatmeal raisin on my Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Granola post, but what that post didn't cover is my love for raw recipes.
"Why?" you ask.
Well, not only are raw foods usually very simple to throw together, requiring less active prep time(since you don't have to cook it), but eating raw is often the best way to get optimum nutrition from your food because cooking can break down and destroy the enzymes food contains.
I like cooked food, but it's fun to incorporate raw recipes into my diet. And I love cooked oatmeal, but this raw oatmeal recipe is a nice way to spice things up and add a little variety. Variety along with cinnamon are the spices of life you know. This recipe contains both.
Raw Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Oatmeal
(Makes one large serving)
Ingredients:
-1 cup non-dairy milk of choice(for a truly raw recipe I like to make my own almond flax milk)
-1/2 cup steel cut oats or oat groats
-1 tsp. vanilla
-1/4 tsp. cinnamon
-Pinch salt
-1 scoop stevia(my bottle came with a little scoop. If yours did not, or if you're using liquid, add a very, very small amount at a time and taste)
-1 Tbs. chia seeds
-Optional: 1 tsp. lucuma powder(it has a sweet, slightly caramel flavor. If you omit, you may need to add more sweetener)
-Toppings such as raisins and almonds
Method:
Combine all ingredients except for toppings in a bowl. Cover and let soak in refrigerator overnight, or at least a few hours. Sprinkle with toppings of choice and enjoy!
