Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cups oats, rolled or cracked (any variety except instant will suffice)
  • 1 cup warm filtered water
  • 2 Tbsp whey, yogurt, kefir or buttermilk** (whey is the liquid that forms at the top of yogurt or as a by-product of strained kefir)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup filtered water

Instructions

  1. Combine oats, warm water and whey/yogurt/kefir/buttermilk in a container and cover. Leave in a warm place overnight (at least seven hours) or for up to 24 hours.
  2. In a medium sauce pan, bring 1 cup of additional water and salt to a boil. Add soaked oats, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Oats will thicken upon cooling.

Notes

** Many individuals who are lactose intolerant are able to successfully digest homemade yogurt that has been cultured for 24 hours. Those with severe allergies to dairy products can substitute lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
