Raspberry Steel Cut Oatmeal

This raspberry steel-cut oatmeal is filling and satisfying. It’s a simple and comforting low GI meal that provides you with complex carbohydrates, protein, fiber, and fat (yes, fat – did you know that oats contain the highest amount of fat of all grains?). 

Oats is an all-around awesome food that can be completely destroyed by the food manufacturing industry and presented to us in the form of high GI instant oatmeal masquerading as a healthy breakfast.

I am on a mission to educate people about the non-healthy side of instant oatmeal, so please never buy it. And if you do, I am sorry, but I don’t think we can be friends 😉

Steel-cut oats, on the other hand, is one of the best low GI foods you could have for breakfast. The only problem with steel-cut oats is that they take somewhat longer to cook. And if you are rushing to get everyone ready in the morning you probably don’t have time to cook steel-cut oats.

In this case, you can prepare them in the evening and keep in the fridge overnight. In theory, the glycemic index of steel-cut oats would increase slightly the next day compared to the freshly prepared ones. But they still will be healthy and filling.
