Directions Simmer oats in water and soy milk for 25–30 minutes. Cook apples with cinnamon, nutmeg and a splash of water until tender. Divide oats among bowls and top with apples, raisins, walnuts and pumpkin seeds. Inspired by Shared Food Patterns
Blue Zone Connection The combination of steel-cut oats, apples, walnuts and seeds keeps this recipe centered on whole and minimally processed plant foods. That approach is consistent with the plant-forward eating pattern associated with Loma Linda. This is a modern Blue Zone–inspired recipe, not a traditional Loma Linda dish.
Helpful Notes Steel-cut oats remain pleasantly chewy; add a splash of water if you prefer them softer. Refrigerate portions for up to 4 days and loosen with water or plant milk when reheating. Estimated Nutrition Per serving
