Doesn’t heating the kefir destroy the ‘good’ stuff in it?
I was also wondering that, Jane.
Please see comments below 🙂
Great ingredients, Takota!
As a possible variation join tis – would just the overnight soaking of rolled oats, etc. be sufficient without having to “Cook” that further? ………
If so then the berries could be added overnight as well (and possibly add to the predigestion process).

As rolled oats and quick oats are heated in the rolling process they are partially cooked. I have soaked quick oats overnight and eaten them. I believe that if you wish to not destroy the probiotics, one could use quick oats for this recipe and not have to cook it. I believe if you bring the mixture to a boil you would kill the cultures. Hey Takota, what is your view of these ideas?
I used to only ferment the oats overnight and not cook them. But then I saw a similar recipe in one of Sally’s books that mentioned the additional nutrient benefits of cooking them, so I gave it a try and found I didn’t get as hungry afterwards. So I stuck with it. But to be honest, I like the uncooked recipe better in terms of taste and ease of preparation. As for the probiotics being destroyed, this is correct and that is why the recipe calls for the addition of crème fraiche upon serving.
What is the additional nutrient benefits of cooking them?
Can i do this with raw milk and leave it in the fridge overnight?
I have the same question! That would make it like the “overnight oatmeal” everyone makes these days – but with healthy raw milk.
big knob of butter goes great with roll oats
