Ingredients
- 13 cup steel cut oats
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons raisins (I use Thompson or Lexia- just make sure they're seedless!)
- 1 medium apple, cored and cut in half
- 14 cup apple juice (a high-quality, unpasteurized variety is best)
- 18 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon coconut, medium-shred
- 1 tablespoon cashews or 1 tablespoon almonds or 1 tablespoon walnuts or 1 tablespoon other nuts, of your choice
Method
- Soak the oats and raisins in the water overnight, covered.
- In the morning, drain off and RESERVE the water.
- Use a wire-mesh colander for this.
- Hold it right next to the oats' bowl and drain carefully so they don't all end up in the colander.
- It's rather annoying trying to scrape them out of the mesh!
- Transfer the oats and raisins to a food processor (if you have a mini-processor, use that!).
- After coarsely chopping half the apple -for easier blending- add it to the processor.
- Add the juice, cinnamon and a pinch or two of nutmeg, plus about 3 Tbsp of the soaking liquid.
- Blend on a low or medium setting for about 10 seconds.
- Then check it; it should be fairly smooth but not liquefied.
- Add 1-2 Tbsp more soaking liquid to thin as desired.
- Pour everything into a bowl, dice the rest of the apple and stir it it.
- Top with coconut and nuts as desired.
- NOTE: For a more manageable bowlful (this much is very filling) reduce the oats to 1/4 cup and slightly reduce everything else.
