Try this Oats Porridge recipe, when you want to make something that is not only healthy but also delicious in taste and is very easy and quick to make. I’ll make the recipe using instant oats so water is not needed. However, if you use rolled or steel-cut oats, you’ll require water to soften the oats. It is called Oats Porridge in India and Oatmeal in the US. It is a simple and versatile dish that can be customized as per your requirements and preferences as you can add different fruits and nuts for different flavors. Oatmeal is a very delicious dish, and in addition, it also provides us with various health benefits because it is full of various essential nutrients such as vitamins, and minerals that lower cholesterol levels, aid in digestion, improve heart health, and control blood sugar.
Oats have so many benefits that we should include them in our diet. People prefer it in the morning as it contains fiber, protein, and also other essential minerals. They are full of antioxidants. They are very filling which helps you lose weight. I prefer a bowl of oats first thing in the morning when I’m not making something new.
