I got this out of a newspaper health supplement, it's a recipe by a nutrition adviser. I've tried them myself and they make a great alternative breakfast, especially warmed up with a little butter. If you like a bit of sweetness use sweetened coconut or you can soak your raisins in apple juice overnight.
