Now that you know what kabocha is, you must be dying to try out some new recipes for it 🙂  This recipe is even new to me – neon green oat bran.  Yes, I’m a nut.
To make your neon green oat bran, you need these ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped kabocha
- 2/3 cup oat bran + 1.5 cups water
- splash of vanilla (optional), pinch of salt
- 1-2 tablespoons raisins (optional; I didn’t use them today)
- 1-2 cups spinach (optional; I DID add it)
Directions: Steam the kabocha for 5-7 minutes. Â Cook your oat bran (with the vanilla, salt, and raisins if using). Â Put the steamed kabocha, oat bran, and spinach (optional) in the blender. Â Blend on high for about 30 seconds. Â Dump it into a bowl, making sure to scrape every last bit out of the blender! Â EAT. Â ENJOY.
This is like pumpkin oats, but a million times better. Â And it’s very macrobiotic. Â Squash + raw greens + whole grains = amazing for your body! Â It’s simple and delicious. Â Will you try it?
As soon as I find Kabocha squash…. and some nerve..HA yeah, i’ll try it… I am the crazy food girl in my family always tempting SOMEONE to just TASTE my latest concoction.
Why oh WHY should this be any different??
I have vague recollections of a lurking fear the first time I was offered SUSHI.
anyone eat Kabocha RAW?
(I’m a beginner Raw FOODIE)
I am willing to try this!!! Once I find Kabocha…consider this on my “to-make” list!
Actually this sounds delicious! I am a nut too though. Your last posts have got me seriously wanting kabocha. But I have yet to see it! Maybe on my outing this weekend, I’ll come across it. I already love butternut and pumpkin, and you seem very fond it!
Oh wow! That is so vibrant!! I love the color of it!
wooooo!!! That’s for breakfast?! AMAZING!!!
only one question: how do you peel the kabocha? it’s so thick!
I have seen Kabocha and always wanted to try it!! Next time I will have to pick some up!!

YAAY – i’m glad you tried it!
heck yes i’ll try it!! Maggie, i’m sold. This looks amazing, and is definitely macrobiotic approved 🙂
you. are. wonderful.
a funky neon green, oats, and kabocha? would I try it? HELL YEAH! all my fav in one single bowl! oh my goodness, I worship you, oh culinary goddess!
I’m so glad you’ve done posts featuring kabocha! I absolutely adore it, it’s my complete all-time favourite squash. I must have eaten my weight in it over the winter. I’m having a hard time finding it lately though and I’m getting so frustrated! I check every single time I go to the grocery store. I know one of these days I’ll find it again though, I have to! Otherwise I might go crazy without it. I might have to check the farmer’s market.
I always always eat it baked and I completely love it that way but steaming sounds really good too so I’m going to have to try it once I get my hands on one again…. and in oats? Now that’s something I never thought of…mmmm!
I love kabocha! And pretty much every other kind of squash too, actually 🙂 Hey, I just moved to the Bay area, got any restaurant recommendations?
Your oat bran looks so healthy! I promise next week I will try it on my own 🙂
Have a great weekend!!!
