The ingredients for Apple Vanilla Raisin Oatmeal are:

1/2 cup dry steel cut oats
2 cups water, divided
1/2 tsp lemon juice or 1 tbsp whey, yogurt, or other lacto-fermented product
2 french vanilla tea bags
1 apple (tart or sweet, whichever your preference for cooking), chopped into bite size chunks
2 tbsp raisins
2 tbsp golden raisins (or just use a total of 4 tbsp regular raisins)
1/3 cup fresh cow or goat's milk or cream, to serve

Here is how you make Apple Vanilla Raisin Oatmeal:

The night before, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Steep tea (remove caffeine if desired. see instructions below.) in water and set aside to cool to room temperature. When tea reaches room temp, pour 1 cup of it into a jar or container and stir in the oats and lemon juice or whey. Cover and let soak in fridge overnight. In the morning, bring the remaining cup of tea to a boil in a small/medium saucepan. When it boils, stir in the soaked oats and their soaking water and return to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 15-25 minutes, until oats are thick and creamy. Add apples and raisins and stir to heat through. Spoon into bowls and top each with a little bit of milk or cream, if desired. Serve with a piece of fresh fruit such as an orange, strawberries, or grapes, or with a cup of fresh juice for a complete breakfast meal, since it's fairly low in calories. Also great with a little bit of raw honey stirred in if you like it sweeter! Serves 3, about 1 cup each. Number of Servings: 3Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user PESCETARIAN.
