This Recipe is inspired by my “Blackberries Baked Oats” because I looooved the combination of lemon and berries but since school started again, I can’t make myself baked oats in the morning anymore, instead I always take overnight oats with me. I have to say that I like this version of oats a little better than the baked oats ; )
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).
