Benefits of Oatmeal

Oats are a grain that we should be reaching for more often when we go to cook and bake. Oats truly are an excellent ingredient because they are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and even fiber.

All of these will offer a variety of health benefits for our bodies. From aiding in lowering our blood sugar, reducing heart diseases, helping in weight loss, and so much more.

You can use oatmeal in dishes you prepare like meatloaf, tossing some oats in with your ground hamburger as it cooks to help stretch it, and even tasty desserts like cakes, cookies, and more. Get creative and reap the benefits of oats. They don’t have to be in a bowl served with brown sugar and milk.

Just made this and it came out wonderful. I did have to make some changes because I can't have gluten(wheat) or dairy. I used certified gf oats, Bob's red mill gluten free 1 to 1 baking mix and earth balance for the butter. I didnt make the frosting because i had a can of Pillsbury coconut pecan frosting but i did add extra coconut and pecans. I think next time i will up the oats to a full cup though. Saving this recipe and am sure will make over and over. Thank you for sharing.
