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.
