Raw Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

Raw apple cinnamon oatmeal, for a delicious and satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free rolled oats* or other certified gluten-free brand
• 1 cup or more filtered water
• 1 apple, pealed, cored, and quartered
• 1/4 teaspoon or more Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Madhava raw organic Agave Nectar (optional)
• 2 teaspoons raw Now Foods raw organic sunflower seeds (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Now Foods raw organic chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1/2 cup raw almond milk

Directions:

1. Soak the oats in filtered water overnight in an airtight container. Drain, then transfer the oats to a serving bowl.
2. Place the quartered apple, cinnamon, and agave into a food processor and pulse to chop the apples into small pieces. Don’t over process.
3. Place the mixture on the oats, and if you like sprinkle with the sunflower seeds and chopped walnuts. Pour in the almond milk and serve.

Variations:

1. 1. If on a low sugar diet you can replace the agave with a desired amount of stevia. Keep in mind that a little bit of stevia goes a long way, so you may want to use it sparingly.
   2. For maple flavored oatmeal, replace the raw agave with maple syrup. Though by doing so the recipe will no longer be considered raw, since maple syrup is heat processed.

Yield:
Makes 2 servings

* Technically, rolled oats are not considered to be raw because they are heated when processed. For a truly raw recipe, replace rolled oats with raw Gluten-Free Prairie Oat Groats or other brand.
