T-oat-ally Nutritious!
Oats are a breakfast staple, and for good reason! These whole cereal grains are a nutrition powerhouse. In just a ½ cup serving of oats, they provide 5 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber. And speaking of fiber, oats contain a specific soluble fiber called Beta glucan. This fiber has been shown to be beneficial for regulating cholesterol and glucose levels in the bloodstream, and reducing hunger levels. This vital role has been associated with reducing risk for heart disease, and assisting in diabetes control and weight loss and/or maintenance.
Oats can also be helpful for those with celiac disease or the gluten sensitive. Oats are naturally gluten-free! When purchasing oats, make sure that the product is certified gluten-free since some processing facilities can have cross-contamination with gluten-containing foods.
Those that are lactose intolerant might also enjoy these grains, as oats can be a plant-based milk alternative. You can find oat milk on the shelves in beverage and yogurt form.
Have I convinced you to eat more oats yet? They can be more than just oatmeal in the morning. Try it in:
- meatloaf (I made a vegetarian version with Beyond Meat)
- baking
- toppings for yogurt
- pulsed in a food processor or blender to make a bread coating for your favorite protein!
Here, I used them in a delicious peach baked oatmeal crisp! In cooler climates, peaches are still in season through September, so get them while you can!

Ingredients
6 to 8 medium peaches, sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup pure maple syrup
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
¾ cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped pecans, unsalted
1 ¼ cup rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Farenheit. Set aside a 9 x 9 baking dish lightly greased.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the peaches with the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Transfer the peaches to the baking dish and spread evenly. Set aside. Rinse then dry the large mixing bowl (this will be used for the oat mixture).
In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except the oats and pecans. Pulse until a crumbly texture is formed (don't let the butter blend completely, you want it crumbly). Transfer the mixture to the large bowl and stir in the oats and pecans. Once fully combined, pour the mixture atop the peaches in the baking dish.
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, cover, and bake for an additional 10-20 minutes or until the crisp has started browning (and starts to bubble).
Serve it with your favorite ice cream, yogurt, or deliciously on its own!
