Old Fashioned Scottish Oatmeal

When McDonald’s recently announced their new oatmeal breakfast, I thought it was time to   pass along  some information I’ve learned from  the Weston A Price Foundation and have employed in my own home for years.

Real oatmeal; that is oatmeal that is  made the traditional way in Scotland is made with old fashioned oats.    They’re cut, not rolled, however rolled oats will do.

 

Because of a substance called phytic acid that can interfere with digestion, all grains are best prepared by soaking them in water over night.  The addition of an inoculant, such as a little bit of live yogurt, furthers the  breakdown of  the digestive inhibiting acid.

Here’s the way it has been done for centuries in Scotland and the method we should follow in our own kitchens.

 

The night before, assemble the following:

 

  • 2 cups of  dried organic steal cut or rolled oats (never instant)
  • Enough water to cover the oats by an inch or so
  • A tablespoon of plain, live cultured yogurt
  • 1-2 sticks of (preferably raw) butter
  • Organic raisins
  • 1 teaspoon  organic vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon Celtic salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

 

Stir together the first three ingredients in a pot. Cover and put aside on the counter for 12-24 hours.  24 hours is best.  In the morning, add another cup of water, raisins, salt and cinnamon and cook for a few minutes on medium heat.  Stir once, reduce the flame to low and cover.  Let it gently cook for another few minutes. Just before serving, add butter and vanilla.

This is authentic Scottish oatmeal yet after soaking overnight, it's nearly as quick as instant.

 

Now thars a breakfast fit fur traditional lassies and ladies!

 

 

I am a homeopath with a worldwide practice working with families and individuals via Zoom. I'm also a teacher and most importantly, a mom who raised my now-adult children depending on homeopathy over the last 31 years. I lived decades of my life with food intolerances, allergies, and chemical sensitivities until I was cured with homeopathy, so I understand pain, anxiety, and suffering. You may feel that your issues are more severe or different than anyone else’s, but I have seen it all in my practice and in my work in India. My opinion is that nothing has come close to the reproducible, safe and effective results that my clients, students and I have achieved with homeopathy.
