    These Fried Apple Oats are loaded with protein and have so much sweet maple flavor.  Make them ahead and store them in the fridge overnight for a meal prep breakfast of champions.  {gluten free, dairy free}

    This is the perfect feel-good, fill you up breakfast to get you going each morning.  These easy-to-make oats have extra protein added by stirring in some egg white before cooking.  Sauteing the diced apples in coconut oil with some cinnamon makes them irresistible.  I like to really take my oats over the top by adding granola, pure maple syrup, chia seeds, and natural peanut butter.

    You guys know how much I love oats with this Blood Orange and Chocolate Oatmeal, this Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal, and this layered Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal.  Oatmeal is loaded with fiber, vitamins, and minerals and helps to regulate blood sugar.  I've always tried ways to add more protein so I don't just eat a huge bowl full of carbs.

    Health Benefits of Oatmeal

    Some of the many incredible health benefits of oatmeal include:

    • Helps to reduce blood pressure levels
    • Lowers cholesterol levels
    • Aids in weight loss
    • Stabilizes blood sugar
    • Supports healthy skin
    • Helps to relieve constipation
    • Reduces the risk of asthma in children

    Which oatmeal is gluten-free?

    All oatmeal is naturally gluten-free. That being said, it’s always important to check the label to make sure the oatmeal hasn’t been contaminated by being processed in the same facility as gluten-containing foods.

    Is it better to make oatmeal with milk or water?

    This is entirely dependent on personal preference. Milk adds a little protein and results in stickier and thicker oatmeal, while using water will result in creamy, slightly thinner oatmeal.

    Is oatmeal good for you?

    Yes! Oats are among the healthiest grains on the market and are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They’re also incredibly high in fiber, making them great for weight loss.
