Oat Groats

[Namaste13]

How do I eat oat groats as a cereal? I bought some and tried soaking them overnight but they are still kind of hard. Any ideas as I thought I read some where that you can enjoy oat groats in replacement of oat meal. Thanks

The secret for me is making sure when I soak overnight I put in enough water. Originally I wasn't putting enough water in and they were hard. With enough water they swell up and soften.

I soak mine overnight and then put them in the blender with a little water, it turns into a porridge. I put in cinnamon, and dates while in the blender. Then i garnish with bananas and raisins. One of my favorites!!!
