YouTubeRolled oats can also be eaten raw (!) See the video below by Jane Esselstyn.
Jane and Ann Esselstyn show how to prepare raw rolled oats: by mixing them with fruits, berries and seeds. Ann Esselstyn's raw rolled oats + grapes recipe actually made it to the cover page of their cookbook: The Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook (288 pages, 2014) by Jane & Ann Esselstyn.
A nice video with 2 points: (a) Don't eat raw oats in their dry form; moisten them with something like plant-absed milk or grapes or … (b) Soaking of grains, beans, nuts and seeds helps us reduce phytic acid (phytates). Such reduction is helpful in increasing mineral absorption (of zinc and iron, for example).
See recipes for Overnight Rolled Oats and Overnight Steel Cut Oats. The idea is to soak rolled oats or steel cut oats overnight in water or plant-based milk. By morning, they are ready to eat! We may introduce additives like berries, fruits, nuts, seeds and dates either at night or in the morning.
Thermos Cooking: Oats can also be cooked in a thermos! That makes it very convenient to prepare steel cut oats in the morning.
