GIUTAN FREE OALMEAL RECIPE
Gluten-Free Oatmeal is a nutritious and filling option for weight loss. Oats are a good source of fiber, which can help you feel fuller for longer and support healthy digestion.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup water or milk of your choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Toppings: Fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, or spices (such as cinnamon or nutmeg)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a saucepan, combine gluten-free rolled oats, water or milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Continue cooking until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker consistency, cook for a few minutes longer. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more water or milk.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal rest for a minute or two.
Pour the cooked oatmeal into a bowl and top it with your favorite fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, or spices.
Give it a gentle stir to combine the toppings with the oatmeal.
Serve the Gluten-Free Oatmeal warm and enjoy.
TIPS
Choose certified gluten-free oats: If you’re following a gluten-free diet, make sure to choose oats that are labeled as certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
Add sweetness mindfully: If you want to sweeten your oatmeal, opt for natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. Use them in moderation to control calorie intake.
Experiment with flavors: Customize your oatmeal by adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom for added aroma and taste.
Incorporate fresh fruits: Top your oatmeal with a variety of fresh fruits like berries, sliced bananas, diced apples, or chopped mango for added natural sweetness and nutrition.
Include nuts and seeds: Boost the nutritional value of your oatmeal by adding a handful of nuts or seeds like almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or flaxseeds. They provide healthy fats and additional texture.
Portion control: Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid excessive calorie intake. Stick to the recommended serving size to maintain a balanced diet.
Experiment with different milk options: Use water or any milk of your choice, such as almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk, to cook the oatmeal. Choose a milk option that aligns with your dietary preferences and needs.
Meal prep for convenience: Prepare a batch of gluten-free oatmeal ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. You can reheat individual portions for quick and convenient breakfasts during busy mornings.
