It also doesn't take very much cooked oatmeal to fill you up. And if
you use the old-fashioned kind it is thicker and isn't quite so much
like "mush", which is the main reason people don't like cooked oatmeal.
I make mine with more oats than the recipe usually calls for - it is just not so mushy and stays chewier:
2 c. water
1 1/3 c. oatmeal
1/8 t. salt
bring salted water to a boil. Add oats all at once. Boil, uncovered for about 5 minutes. Let sit for about 5 min, covered.
LOVE to add yogurt or SF maple syrup and some cool whip. Oh the possibilities are endless!!
Oatmel is a complex carbohydrate. Not a smiple one, so it doesn't leave you hungry like potato chips... Oatmeal is a good source of carb. It's a grain..and a healthly carb,
and has fiber which we as bariatric patients don't get enough of just
from protein.
