Oatmeal gets pretty boring after a while. Sure, you can mix up the toppings, dressing it up with different dried or fresh fruits and nuts, but it's essentially the same thing morning after morning. So recently I started preparing raw oat groats at night, soaking them in water to be drained in the morning. These yield a much chewier oat than basic oatmeal and can be blended up and sweetened, sprinkled over yogurt, or served straight up with toppings.
With so many fall and winter fruits in stores, I put together this very seasonal bowl of oat groats topped with persimmon, pear, pomegranate seeds, and vegan sweet cream for an extra special touch. Feel free to sub in whatever fruits you like and have on hand.
Breakfast Oats with Winter Fruit
Ingredients
- 1/2 C raw oat groats
- 1/2 persimmon, cubed
- 1/4 pear, cubed
- 1/4 C pomegranate seeds
- 1-2 tbsp Sweet Dessert Cream
Method
- Place oat groats in a bowl and cover with filtered water. Let sit overnight.
- Drain and rinse the oat groats. Put oats in a bowl to serve. Top with the fruits, then drizzle with dessert cream before serving.
This would be equally good with fresh summer berries when the season arrives. Keep this recipe tucked away for summer berry season!
