Wardeh,

We use dates and or dried fruit/raisins when we cook the oats, and we don’t use any sweetener, those are enough. And of course sliced bananas are always good on top! This was my 1st stop to your site, it is wonderful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Ren – Those patties sound delicious! We do usually have leftovers because I double this batch. One batch is not quite enough for all of us. Thanks for the great idea!

Oh, this is definitely one of my favorite things to eat. It never occurred to me to soak the oats in kombucha (I usually use whey) – but now that’s got me thinking of all kinds of things to try!

You know what else is good? Take the leftover cooked oatmeal (not that there’s often anything leftover) and form it into a pancake-shaped patty & fry that in pastured butter.

Thanks!

Michelle – I don’t think it’s wrong to drain it off. But I don’t think you need to do it, except that it helps rinse off some of the sour taste that ACV or lemon juice leave behind. My first ever try with soaked oatmeal was horrible because I didn’t drain it (and I’d used lemon juice). I like using the Kombucha because it doesn’t lend any sourness (that I can detect).

I do this too, but I dump out the water in the morning and use fresh water to cook. Do you think this is a bad idea? Been using apple cider vinegar for the acid and figured I should rinse it off before cooking but…?

That sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing it…I’ve been searching for an oatmeal recipe that I’ll really love. I’m not a huge fan of hot cereal, but I’m trying. Plus, oatmeal is *so* easy. We’ll have to try this, and soon!

I’ve been doing this, too, and it is wonderful! (Although I never though about using kombucha instead of the soured milk I typically use! And I’ve been using water instead of milk to cook the oatmeal the next day. I think I’ll try milk to see how we like it.) Also, I’ve been dissolving a teaspoon or so of Rapadura in the cooking water and throwing in some raisins, too, to make it sweet. Thanks for the extra ideas!
