Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

Are you a fan of oatmeal?

Did you know that Oct. 29, is national oatmeal day,

In honor of this humble whole grain, here are a few reasons oats make a great breakfast:
~Oatmeal is a form of protein and can replace flour in most recipes.
~The beta-glucan fiber in oats is famous for lowering
LDL cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol) and can
help stabilize blood sugar.
~Oats are also rich in antioxidants which prevent free radicals from oxidizing LDL, thus reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
~Oats are versatile, and can be eaten on the go in
sugar-free instant varieties, made overnight in a
crockpot, added to baked goods, or used as a
thickener in meatloaf.
~This whole grain (especially when certified gluten
free) is tolerated by many on a gluten free diet.

Fun Fact: There is a city in Texas, names Oatmeal.
Oatmeal and the nearby city of Bertram have hosted an
annual Oatmeal Festival since 1978.

 

Here is a recipe that you can try out. You can make it the night before and have enough to feed the whole family in the morning. Just heat it up and serve.
