Are baked oats healthy?

Baked oats are definitely a healthy option to enjoy for a quick easy breakfast or even a dessert . Rolled oats are especially healthy as they contain a type of soluble fiber, called beta gluten, which lowers blood glucose and cholesterol levels which can help reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Why is oatmeal so good for weight loss?

Oats are a filling food due to their high fiber content and can increase that feeling of fullness with meals. This can help to control hunger levels and reduce overeating.
