This is the only way to eat oatmeal. It is especially good (almost a nutty flavour) if you are able to roll the oats right before soaking. I have an attachment for my Kitchen Aid that rolls the oats. Buying oat groats is cheaper than buying rolled oats. We top ours with coconut oil, cinnamon, maple syrup and cream. The kids love it and it is very healthy.

Excellent and not as time-consuming as most think. It just takes a teeny bit of planning. Besides, who wants to think about what to make for breakfast first thing in the morning?!? We use whole oat groats and grind them as we need them. This preserves a lot of the nutrition and allows them to store significantly longer without getting stale. (Got our FlicFloc Flaker from Pleasant Hill Grain and LOVE IT!) We use whey (that weird yellowish/cloudy liquid that fills in the spoon space in yogurt after it sits a few hours) since we have A LOT of that from making our own kefir, yogurt and cheeses. Great recipe and even better book: Nourishing Traditions.
