The Healthy Secret Hiding in Your Porridge plus Five Oats Recipes

Reading Time: 4 minutes
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Pinterest

Apart from being the ultimate convenient breakfast food for busy mornings, oats offer a never-ending list of health benefits. Before they were consumed as food, they were actually used for medicinal purposes and can help sooth dry skin, fight inflammation, reduce cholesterol re-absorption and make it easier to keep blood sugar levels and cravings under control throughout the day. Studies have shown they can even cure a hangover and increase your libido!

Nutritionist and Vitasoy Ambassdor Zoe Bingley-Pullin says “If you’re not eating oatmeal for your breakfast, you’re missing out on a delicious way to boost your health. Not only do oats help stabilise your blood sugar levels, making you feel full for longer, they’re low in calories which is great for weight loss. They contain a soluble fibre called beta-glucan as well, which actively helps lower bad (LDL) cholesterol. What many people don’t know is if you cook your oats with oatmilk, you get your daily-recommended intake of beta-glucan in one sitting.

And for that extra heart health kick try sprinkling cinnamon on top of your porridge instead of sugar. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day has been proven to help lower cholesterol and it tastes great! If you have a sweet tooth, try adding blueberries and take advantage of their antioxidant capacities. Or you could add nuts for a protein hit – I like to toast a home made nut mix in maple syrup to add a bit of sweetness!”

To help you discover the healthy secret hiding in your porridge, Rescu. has put together our top five oats recipes to help you reap the positive affects of this super food at every meal of the day.

Oatmeal with Sauteed Mushrooms, Garlic and Thyme

(Serves 2 to 4)

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 to 8 ounces crimini mushrooms, sliced

  • Flaky sea salt to taste
  • Cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Bring water to a boil in a pot. Pour in oatmeal, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, until oats have reached desired tenderness.

2. Meanwhile pour oil into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Add garlic and saute for 3 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and thyme sprigs and saute until mushrooms turn golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. (If liquid dries too soon, add 1 teaspoon oil at a time.) Remove thyme sprigs.

3. When oatmeal finishes cooking, remove from heat and fold in gouda. Scoop into pan with vegetables and mix thoroughly. Transfer to serving bowls and add olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
