1 teaspoon stevia extract
2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
Soak Oats and Chia Seeds in coconut milk overnight. Before eating, warm oatmeal on a stovetop or cook
it for about five minutes until desired consistency. Stir in stevia and top it with coconut flakes or
shredded coconut. Enjoy warm. Tip: Soaking oatmeal overnight is an easy way to make and enjoy raw
or steel-cut oatmeal (Warren, Amen, & Hyman, 2013, p. 308).
Spiced Oatmeal with Dried Apricot and Walnuts - Serves 4 (1/2 cup)
This quick, heavenly oatmeal is made with steel-cut oats, a favorite because of its distinctive dense
texture and high levels of protein, iron, solute fiber—satisfying nutrients that help boost energy. Make a
double batch if you’d like; the oatmeal keeps for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
1/4 cup walnuts
2 cups of water
1/2 cup steel-cut oats
12 dried apricots, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons auger-free pancake syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or allspice
Pinch of salt
Heat oven or toaster oven to 275 F. Spread walnuts on a baking tray and bake until fragrant and toasted,
8 to 10 minutes. Roughly chop.
Microwave instructions: While the nuts are toasting, combine water, oats, apricots, syrup, cinnamon or
allspice, and a pinch of salt in an 8-cup microwave-safe bowl (the size of the bowl is important as it must
allow the oats to bubble up without spilling over). Cover with plastic wrap, vent, and cook at full power
for 5 to 7 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Stir, replace plastic
wrap, and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until liquid is mostly absorbed. Sprinkle with nuts and
serve.

Stovetop instructions: Combine water and oats in a medium saucepan; soak overnight. Add apricots,
syrup, and salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer, occasionally stirring,
until liquid is mostly absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle each serving with nuts and cinnamon.
