Cooked Rolled Oats

This Cooked Rolled Oats recipe is a traditional favorite and a hearty breakfast that’s sure to keep you satisfied until lunch. Enjoy topped with your favorite fruit and/or berries.

We like our oats and eat them a lot. We especially like them raw in our Rolled Oats Breakfast, but on a cold winter morning, these Cooked Rolled Oats are hot and satisfying.

Whole grains like oats have gotten a bad reputation from the low carb communities, which may be contributing to the leading cause of death among those who eat very little them: heart disease.

Whole grains, especially oats, have been shown in numerous clinical trials to reduce heart disease, prevent strokes and help with weight control. In fact, eating 3 servings of whole grains per day may be just as effective at treating hypertension as taking prescribed medications.

If you’re still a believer in the low carb fad diets, it may be time to revisit your preconceptions to minimize your risk of preventable disease.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup rolled oats
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 tsp chia seeds
• 2 tbsp almond milk or your favorite non-dairy milk
• 4 tsp brown sugar or maple syrup or agave
• 2 medium bananas halved and sliced

Servings: servings

Instructions

1. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan.

   
2. Add 1 tsp chia seeds to two bowls.

   
3. Top each with 1 tbsp of almond milk and stir to combine. This will give the chia seeds time to soften while your oats are cooking.

   
4. Add the rolled oats to the boiling water and stir to combine.

   
5. Return to a boil and reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes or until the water has been absorbed and the oats are soft. Stir occasionally.

   
6. Add 3/4 cup of cooked oats to each bowl.

   
7. Top with brown sugar, maple syrup or agave to sweeten. Stir to combine.

   
8. Top each bowl with 1 halved and sliced banana, or your favorite fruit or berries.
