I LOVE eating rolled oats for breakfast! They are so delicious and super easy to prepare. Additionally, they are very cheap and take very little work to prepare. In this post I share a recipe and video of how to make my Super Easy Oats recipe which is oil-free, whole grain, and vegan.
Why eat rolled oats for breakfast?
Rolled oats are packed with so many healthy nutrients, are very inexpensive, and are widely available at almost every store that sells food. Here’s seven great reasons why I feed my them to my family for breakfast:
- 1 serving of organic rolled oats costs about $.25
- They are packed with fiber, each 1/2 cup dry serving contains 5 grams
- They are packed with plant-based protein, each 1/2 cup dry serving contains 8 grams
- They are naturally sugar free
- They are quick to prepare, simply cover with boiling water and let sit for 8-12 minutes
- They are delicious when paired with spices, vanilla and fruit
- They can be easily meal prepped and stored in the refrigerator for several days
