*Please you organic ingredients when possible.
A note on soaking your oats and other grains: grains contain an antinutrient called phytic acid, which prevent the absorption of minerals, namely calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc in the intestinal tract. Soaking your grains prior to cooking helps neutralize the phytic acid and aids in digestion by helping to break down the glutens.
A note on pumpkin puree: In the fall when pumpkins are in season I buy up a bunch, roast them off, puree them and freeze in individual portions so I can pull them out whenever I need some pumpkin. This is super easy to do and a great item to have on hand. There are, however, lots of great organic canned pumpkin options.
