[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m going to give steel cut a try, I ordered some McCann’s.

I’m trying to love oats because my blood work last year wasn’t great and I want much better results this December - so I’ve got 10 weeks to do everything possible to get my lipids in order.

I’ve recently cut out refined sugar because of all the evidence that it acts as a poison in the body. I might drizzle in some raw unfiltered honey or some pure maple syrup since both have phytonutrients, but I’m hoping to stick to apples, bananas and berries for most of the sweet that goes with the porridge.

My plan is to cook the oats in water and stir in some plain yogurt for creaminess. I could use milk if people think that’s critical? But definitely no butter, I only use one stick per month now and don’t want to backslide.[/quote]

I prefer cooked in the stovetop in slightly less water than needed with a splash of milk added at the end. Cooking the whole time in milk makes them too gummy, I've found, even though I've heard some people do cook in milk

I don't use butter on oats because it's not to my taste, but I do add nuts like walnuts or sliced almonds and/or seeds like flax, chia, pumpkin, or sunflower. If I liked butter, I wouldn't be afraid to use it.

A little fat will make them healthier than a pure carby breakfast of grains and fruit. Your body may absorb nutrients better and the blood sugar fluctuations should be smaller with fat.[/quote]
