- 4 cups organic sprouted rolled oats
- 10 cups filtered water
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp expeller pressed coconut oil

In a large pot, bring water and sea salt to a boil.

Remove cookie sheets from oven and using a spatula, carefully flip the toasted oatmeal to the untoasted side.

Remove cookie sheets and test the consistency of the cereal. If it is not fully dried, flip the cereal again and continue to toast for two more hours.

Remove toasted oatmeal from the cookie sheets and pulse in two batches in the food processor until cereal consistency.

Enjoy a half cup in a bowl drizzled with 1 tsp of raw honey and whole milk. Add raisins, sliced banana, soaked nuts or soaked seeds if desired.
Recipe Notes
You may substitute virgin coconut oil instead of (flavorless) expeller pressed coconut oil in this recipe, but it will likely add a slight coconut flavor to the cereal.
