 grain boy is back because today we are making oatmeal and in my recent day meetings you guys have been seeing me like the oatmeal packets that you just put some hot water in and they're ready in a few minutes even though they're organic there's still a lot of negatives about that whether it's the chemicals the added flavorings or how the oats are processed because the oats they use in those packet oatmeal are quick oats that need to be steamed and rolled and pressed and we know these big corporations aren't using like high-quality well water to prepare the oats and the modern tap water has fluoride chlorine antibiotics chemicals all of these things you don't want to be consuming especially if the rest of your diet is organic and you're only drinking really high quality water you know why do you want to start your day off with something filled with modern tap water so here we have organic steel cut oats and this is just the whole oat aka groat chopped into a few pieces and you can tell that you know these are really a grain they have not been steamed processed so that's what we're using as the base of our oatmeal and the flavor we're going to do today is kind of apple vanilla so you could really do whatever you want you get creative with this for the sweetener we're using flexed strokes from Frankie's here in food this is pure glucose or as sugar honey maple syrup also has fruit toast in it which is a little bit harder on the liver but this isn't as sweet so you could try this you could do other stuff we just have this today we have a whole apple we're going to dice up put it in there stew it a little bit with the oatmeal of course some salt to season it a little bit of vanilla extract we have some coconut cream to make it creamier and also add a little bit of fat because even though oats have a small amount of fat and protein you still want something to kind of slow down the digestion just a little bit just a tiny amount of fat to balance the macronutrients you could use macadamia nut butter different nut butters but coconut cream is the highest saturated fat and also anti-fungal and I can't eat it and we have some apple juice here organic biodynamic just make sure if you're going to add a juice that they don't have water as an ingredient in it because that would defy the purpose of having the oats you know you don't want to add any tap water with this too we're going to add this at some point in the recipe just to add more of that apple flavor I guess this isn't that necessary this is something that might be really really nice don't make it a little special yeah so if we take a look at the the regular apple cinnamon oatmeal they have oats sugar apples natural flavors cinnamon and sea salt so basically the same thing except we're adding much higher quality ingredients we're making sure there's no chemicals in it and maybe a few culinary tips that'll make this really special so we're starting off here guys with three cups of water that I've brought to a boil of course we are using high quality glass bottle mineral water this is really the reason I'm showing you guys this recipe is to be mindful of the water source that companies used to prepare this stuff so we have that in here and since we already have it at a boil we're ready to add one cup of our oats so we got one cup of oats here which is four servings a little under 800 calories so this is probably more than enough for one meal for me but if I was you I would make a batch of like two or three of this because you don't want to be sitting here cooking breakfast 20 minutes every morning so if you do a few batches you'll have it for a few days with a breakfast and we add our pinch of salt I will mention now we also have Himalayan pink salt now on Frankie's here inage meat and Frankie's here inage foods if you guys want to try that so we'll lower the heat to medium now since this is gonna take 15 20 minutes we're gonna do a little bit of prep I mean we don't really have anything to do besides peel and slice the apple and the reason you want to peel an apple is because you guys can see this is very colorful that indicates a high flavoured content anti-nutrients and whenever was on the skin when it was grown it's just better to peel your apples now I want to get a pretty small dice on this apple so I'm gonna slice it kind of vertically like that flip it over slice it vertically again and then we're gonna go down then we have nice little tiny squares of apple so that's that we got our apple chopped up real nice yeah just make sure to kind of scrape the bottom of this to make sure the oats aren't you know burning or sticking which they are a little bit so just be careful so after about 10 minutes you guys can see a lot of the liquid has been absorbed into the oats we're gonna add about one cup of apple juice so this is gonna add a bit more liquid to be absorbed and of course some sugar and some flavor okay so now that it's hot again we're gonna put in our diced apples now normal oatmeal recipe you just cook good for 15 20 minutes but since we want to add all this other stuff you know you got to do it in the middle of the cooking process again just stirring scraping the bottom making sure this doesn't stick I think you can do this in the slow cooker too or the Instant Pot just throw everything in there and let it go might not be as good but a whole lot less than standing at your stove for half an hour so we're about the 15 minute mark and since we're using a powder dry sweetener we want to make sure that we have enough liquid in this so we'll add it before it's finished cooking I don't have much of this left so I'm gonna do about a quarter cup of the Flexrose and normally like a quarter cup of sugar would be plenty to sweeten this but as I mentioned earlier the Flexrose is not as sweet so you might need a little more than that alright for a final ingredient we're gonna finish this off with a tablespoon of coconut cream I try to be careful with this because I actually don't like the coconut flavor but I really do like the creaminess it adds so if you put just enough you don't taste that much of the coconut flavor and as with all the ingredients you don't really want to add anything at the very very end you want the flavors to kind of melt together and the heat to extract those flavors even more outside of the coconut cream that is probably a thousand calories total you know between the added apple juice and the coconut cream and stuff the Flexrose still a little bit of moisture left here but we're gonna taste the oats to see if they're finished cooking so the oats definitely need a few more minutes and the flavors getting there I think I want to add a little bit more sugar and coconut because it's not as creamy as I like I don't exactly taste the coconut yet and it's it's not sweet enough so I'll do maybe another tablespoon of the coconut cream and then I just have like a little bit of honey left in this jar so we'll use that as the other sweetener you know bro we might as well go United Nations at this point we're adding all these different sweeteners so we'll do like a teaspoon of maple syrup too and each sweetener lends its own flavor so you get a little bit of the complexity from the honey a little bit from the maple syrup a little bit of that fruitiness from the Flexrose and I mean if you wanted to add a little bit of sugar here too you'll get a unique flavor from each one it's been about 20 minutes we turn the heat off we're gonna cover this let it sit all right guys now that it's time for lunch hopefully our oatmeal is ready so this is definitely not something I would do if you don't have time in the morning you know you actually have to work like I do I should be at work right now but instead we're here making oatmeal for you guys very creamy looks good some moisture left still but keep in mind as if you let this sit for a few hours or overnight it will definitely absorb the rest of the moisture so hopefully this is cooked otherwise we're gonna pretend it's cooked as I'm done filming this video all right it's done so we can do an official taste test you guys I'm losing my mind honestly I'm really losing it what kind of crazy person wakes up in the morning buys like $30 worth of organic ingredients and spends an hour cooking oatmeal like you have to be pretty deranged like maybe even vegan to do that I rather not eat it's very appley a lot of apples and what I don't really like is the sweetness is separated from the oats so you get all the honey the maple syrup of flexrose to get those flavors separately from the oats which means this is gonna be much better after it sits for a few hours so you know maybe not the best first thing you make it but still pretty good I'm still gonna eat it this morning you get the the chunks of fresh apple in there and add some moisture overall 7.5 out of 10 I think after this sits for a little bit it's gonna be good definitely make a head meal the fresh apples are so pleasant in here it's just you know the grotes need some time to really sit and soften up I think I think you can soak oats overnight or something that's probably what we should have done so someone in the comments that's probably made this a lot let us know down below if you can soak these overnight how long to soak them for that'll probably soften the maybe even soak them in like the apple juice just to make sure it has some flavor but guys I gotta like honestly just find some like nasty vegan girl with just like huge huge like get her over one night even if my peepee doesn't work from my liver damage if I make her this in the morning bro it's over it's over it's I'm set you know I'm set so smooth sailing from there but that shows you guys where my brain is at today so before any more garbage comes out of my mouth I want to thank you guys for joining me you can go to Frank dash the
