Why Oats Are The Best
Oats are super versatile and last a long time, and those reasons are why we like cooking with oats so much! Suitable for breakfast, oats contain a very large amount of protein and fiber per serving, which means almost anyone can enjoy a bowl of oats first thing in the morning.
A great idea for breakfast, oats are also really great in desserts or healthy snacks! From clean and flavorful cookies to a large baked oatmeal filled with fresh fruit, oats come in handy all year long. We like to buy oats because they are so cheap and they store so well in our pantries or freezers.
What is the difference between steel cut and rolled oats?
Steel cut oats are oats that have been chopped into smaller sizes. Rolled oats are just oats that have been steamed and rolled to remove the husk. Rolled oats tend to be a bit more thick and have more of a natural shape to them. We tend to buy rolled oats, but any oat will work for these easy recipes!
