What oatmeal is the healthiest?
Oatmeal is a great breakfast option because it is low in sugar, has plenty of fiber and nutrients, and can be customized to your preferences. Steel-cut oatmeal is especially high in antioxidants and contains more soluble fiber than other types of oatmeal. This type of oats also retains moisture which makes it healthier for you overall since it helps to keep your blood glucose levels stable throughout the morning.
Another reason why steel-cut oats are considered healthiest is that they have a long shelf life which means that they will last longer if stored properly in an airtight container. There are many flavors available such as maple syrup or pumpkin spice, so there's sure to be one that you like!
Is oatmeal better with milk or water?
Instead of water, use milk (or a non-dairy substitute) to make oats. Oatmeal cooked with water tastes far less good than oatmeal made with milk, and you won't get the breakfast's added protein durability. Additionally, water will turn the oats less creamy and more chewy.
