Oatmeal Kissel for Weight Loss

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   To make oatmeal kissel for weight loss, choose rolled oats with the longest cooking time — they retain the most vitamins and minerals. Use clean drinking water at room temperature.

2. Step 2:

   

   Turn the rolled oats into oat flour. To do this, put them in a blender.

3. Step 3:

   

   Grind the oats into flour. It's fine if a few larger pieces remain — they won't affect the taste or the benefits of the kissel.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour the oat flour into a deep container holding at least two liters. Glass, enameled, ceramic, or stainless steel works. Don't use aluminum cookware, as it can trigger a reaction. Add a little more than half the water and stir. Cover with a towel and leave at room temperature for about 8 hours to swell. You'll use the rest of the water later, once the oat flour has steeped.

5. Step 5:

   

   After the time is up, stir the swollen oat flour with a spoon.

6. Step 6:

   

   For cooking the kissel, take a pot or saucepan that holds about 3 liters. Cover it with a sieve or cheesecloth and pour the mixture through it.

7. Step 7:

   

   Squeeze well, pour the rest of the water through, and squeeze again.

8. Step 8:

   

   You can use the leftover pulp. It's very good for you and can be added to batter for baking — pancakes, for instance.

9. Step 9:

   

   Cook the strained liquid. Set the pot over medium heat. Stirring so the kissel doesn't stick to the bottom, bring it to a boil. Stir well and the kissel is ready. If you cook it longer, the kissel will get thicker.
