Are Oats Healthy?

Oats are a good source of whole grain protein and gluten-free fiber. In fact, they contain a compound call beta-glucan which has shown to be particularly powerful when it comes to nutrition. They’ve been shown to be a heart-healthy food, helpful in combating diabetes, encouraging weight loss, and improving satiety.

Plus, oats are budget-friendly and relatively easy to prepare. If you’re trying to eat healthier, oats are an easy way to add plant-based nutrition to your diet.

Chef Katie’s Plant-Based Cooking Tips:

Oats Gluten-Free Tip: Oats are naturally gluten-free, but they are often processed in a facility near wheat.  If you are making this recipe for someone with Celiac, a diagnosed gluten allergy, use certified gluten-free oats

Easy Microwave Tip: You can also microwave this for 2-3 minutes. To avoid boiling over, stir every 20-30 seconds.
