I’ve heard feedback from all angles- this mac and cheese oatmeal recipe sounds SO interesting vs. I ONLY eat my oatmeal with sweet ingredients! But keep an open mind. Your new favorite recipe idea awaits!

Oats Are Versatile at Any Meal

In recipes, oats take on the flavor of the other ingredients. So that’s why oats make not only a great sweet breakfast entree but also a savory side dish or main entree. Just as many people eat rice as part of a savory meal but also make it into sweet rice pudding, you can make oats go sweet or savory.

Oats Nutrition

Oats are a healthy whole grain, naturally gluten free, and contain around 5 grams fiber and 6 grams protein per serving. In addition, they are excellent sources of B vitamins, iron and other minerals. Since they are high in soluble fiber,, they help make bowel movements nice & comfortable. And a lot of that fiber is beta-glucan, a fiber well known for helping boost the immune system, improve cholesterol, and balance blood sugar.
