Repeat with other half. Explanation: I have tried to find slow cooking oatmeal (30 minutes) at three supermarkets with no luck. Everything is 1 or 3 minutes "instant". The best I have found so far is Robin Hood Large Flake Oats. The cooking directions say to cook for 10 to 20 minutes so at least it is a start in the right direction. I'll redo the recipe when I find some real oats! The reason I cook the oats for 10 minutes is if you don't, they tend to leave a cardboard taste to the finished product. You put 3 tablespoons of olive oil into the mix. The other 1/4 of a tablespoon of olive oil you use to grease the bottom of the baking dish. If you are using a non- stick dish, just mix all 3.25 tablespoons in step 2. PS. I have all the ingredient info in a spreadsheet that shows all carbs, protein, fat and fiber. I use the information on the food label when available and use the USDA database for the rest. Editor's note: McCann's is the type of oatmeal recommended for the Zone. Trader Joe's sells it. Check out www.mccanns.ie/ for where you can buy it. Also, raisins have a high glycemic load. You may want to consider a substitution for the carbs. We would love to see your revised recipe, but this is a good starting point.
