What else can I say about these Baked Oats, except that they are probably the best I have ever made? I am super happy on how they turned out because I’m not really a fan of banana in baked oats, but I think you can barely taste it in this recipe so I’m so glad! I hope you like it just as much as I do
Oats:
Rolled oats are a local superfood. Oats are also considered the most valuable grain in our diet. The fibre and complex carbohydrates make oats a superstar. The grain is grown as seed oats and is one of our staple foods. Rolled oats are a whole grain because they are made from the whole grain and only non-edible parts are removed.
Basic Health facts
40 grams of oats contain 0.3 mg of vitamin B1, which would cover a quarter of the daily requirement. No other grain has such a high B1 content as oats. And even among the Pseudo-cereals, only amaranth can surpass oats in terms of B1 – but only just.
Vitamin B1, together with B6, is THE nerve vitamin par excellence, so that a deficiency can manifest itself in dizziness, insomnia, fatigue and neurological disorders (e.g. neuritis).
