RAW OAT YOGURT

I really love yoghurt & especially natural, plain unseated yoghurt. As a raw vegan you you can´t eat that stuff any more so this is definitely as close as you can come to the yoghurt! Try it it is very easy to prepare and varies in flavor and texture every time you make it, depending on fermentation time and the room temperature. You don´t need any starter (like in dairy yoghurt) but I use probiotics powder from the capsules to get all the good and healthy staff into this yoghurt and it creates naturally Lactobacillus microorganisms. Make sure the you buy a good quality of probiotics and ask for vegan one as well.
If you prefer your yoghurt sweet or fruity just add it to the blender with your favorit fruits, frozen berries or sweeter of your choise like honey, agave etc.

You will need:

1 dl rolled oats
1 dl raw oat groats
1-2 capsules of probiotics (depending on how big they are)

Preparation:
1. Rins and drain the raw oat groats well. In a medium glass jar combine the oat groats & rolled oats and cover with purified water making sure that the water level is above a bit, (for example 1cm).
Soak over night or for 8h.

2. In a high speed blender, blend the soaked oats with the soaking water and open the capsule and att the powder which is inside. You may need to add more water, do that 2 tablespoons at the time to get the consistency you want on your yoghurt. (The fermentation does not thicken the yoghurt). Pour the mixture into the clean glass jar.

3. Cover the jar with the cheese cloth or similar and let te mixture sit in the room temperature in the dirk place for 1-3 days, depending oh how warm it is. Stir the yoghurt with the wooden spoon every 8h or as I sometimes do in the morning and in the night. Taste the yoghurt every time you mix it to the taste you like. I like it very sour so I wait one extra day to achieve that. In the winter if your house is chill you can wrap it in the kitchen towels or put it on some place where its worm. Sometimes I can even put it in my dehydrated on the 30 C temperature and it is ready much faster.
So once the yoghurt is sour enough to your liking it should be kept in refrigerator up to 1 week.

Please always use very clean jar and wooden spoon since metal can interfere with the fermentation process.
