borostos.blogspot.com

Oats are a staple in many a pantry.  They may be in the form of rolled oats, instant oats, oat flour, or steel-cut oats.  However they come, there are certainly some good reasons as to why we ought to be including more of them in our diet.

Oats are an excellent source of soluble fiber, are high in protein, contain many minerals, and hold a specific type of antioxidants called avenanthramides that are found only in oats.

A hot bowl of oatmeal is just the ticket on a cold winter’s morning, especially when it is souped-up with lots of bonus ingredients like raisins, bananas, and peanut butter, but the thought of such a breakfast in the depths of summer is enough to have you feeling full and overheated.

It’s a good thing that there are so many other ways to sneak and a handful of oats (or more) into your meals here and there.  Have a look at these OGP recipes, and see how you can get a little more creative with that jar of oats in your cupboard, and look beyond the bowl of hot oatmeal.

If you really want a big bowl of oats for breakfast, but you can’t face the heat or stodge of a bowl of oatmeal, try opting for muesli instead.  This way you can have your oats with ice-cold plant-based milk or juice instead.  As well as oat power, Crissy Cavanaugh‘s recipe for Sunflower Muesli is packed with other nutritious stars, such as coconut, sunflower seeds, and hemp seeds.

Oats don’t have to play the starring role in a recipe in order for you to benefit from their healthful properties.  In Holly Jade‘s recipe for Black-Eyed Pea Burgers with Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce, the oats give texture and play the role of binder helping these amazing patties to stick together without the use of egg.  These will be perfect for some summertime grilling.
