Steel Cut Oatmeal

So I read this really interesting thing that you have to soak your flours and grains before you use them.. It had something to do with something to do with some chemicals which had to be killed by the acids you add to the water, which can be anything from yogurt to buttermilk to lemon, but it was supposed to kill some things that supposedly should be bad for your digestion etc, so I decided to try it. Honestly I don't think there really was a difference.... But here's the method if you should be interested. 


Ingredients:

1 cup water
2 tbsp yogurt (or lemon juice or buttermilk)
1 cup steel cut oats

1 cup water
1 banana
1 apple
Dash cinnamon
Handful dried cranberries 

Directions:

  1. Soak steel cut oats in water and acid over night. Preferable 24 hours. 
  2. Transfer oats into a sauce pan and add another cup of water. Cook over medium high.
  3. Mash banana and peel and shred apple and add both to the oats. Add the cinnamon too.
  4. When the water is all absorbed and oats are tender remove from heat and add the dried cranberries.
