It’s true that oatmeal is a nutrition powerhouse.
Oatmeal has also been proven to lower cholesterol in several different ways (viaScience Daily).
They’re also high in iron and have a low-glycemic index (perBob’s Red Mill).
But old-fashioned rolled oats can be equally delicious if cooked correctly.
One of the most common oatmeal faux pas is cooking the oats in milk, according toBon Appetit.
Rather than making the oatmeal creamier, it results in thick, bowl-clinging goop.
Bring the water (with a pinch of salt) to a boil before adding the oats.
Or try overnight oats.
Refrigerate overnight, then add fruit, nut butter or the topping of your choice.
Try mixing cooked oatmeal with eggs, cheese, spinach, avocado, peppers, or even sriracha.
