Sue Gregg says: "I am no longer recommending any
commercial cold cereals. As for granolas, limit them to
a garnish on cereal since they are not prepared by the
two-stage process that enables the phytates to release
nutrients."

The following recipes are tasty alternatives to plain, hot oatmeal.

BAKED OATMEAL
This is my daughter's favorite way to enjoy oatmeal. I
combine the following the night before, in a glass
mixing bowl, it takes less than 5 minutes. One customer 's son calls this recipe the cookie casserole!

1/2 Cup butter, melted
3/4 - 1 Cup SUCANAT
3 Cups rolled oats
1-1/2 Cup Kefir, yogurt, or buttermilk
1 tsp. cinnamon, optional

In the morning I add:

2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 Cup dried raisins, optional OR 1-2 tart apples, chopped, optional

Bake in a greased 11 X 7 baking pan at 350 degrees
for 25-30 minutes. Top with chopped nuts, ground flax
seeds, yogurt, warmed milk, or other topping of your
choice.

CREAM OF SEVEN GRAIN PORRIDGE
This recipe has been adapted from a famous bed and
breakfast in Helena, MT.

The night before serving combine in a medium
saucepan:

1-1/2 Cups Seven Grain Mix, Cracked
3 Cups apple juice
3 TB lemon juice
In the morning, add:
1/4 - 1/2 Cup honey
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
2 TB butter

Bring the ingredients to a boil over low heat until
desired consistency develops 15-30 minutes. Serve
with raw milk or yogurt or kefir, chopped nuts such as
almonds or pecans, and dried fruits.
