Oatmeal can be said to be one of the essential items for a nutritious breakfast, and it is very popular among all of us. Because of its good nutritional benefits and the ability to combine with other nutritious diets to create higher nutrition, eating oatmeal for breakfast is a good choice. So, how to eat oatmeal well? Let's delve into it together!
How to eat oatmeal deliciously
Nowadays, more and more people like to eat this kind of breakfast: oatmeal + eggs. This kind of breakfast can provide a more balanced nutrition. In terms of protein, the protein content of plant-based foods is often not as rich as that of animal-based foods, and the absorption and utilization rate by the body is low.
However, eating a small packet (30 grams) of oatmeal with a protein content of 10% can only provide 3 grams of protein, while an egg contains about 7-8 grams of protein. Therefore, the advice from nutritionists is to drink a glass of milk and eat an egg while consuming oatmeal to ensure a more balanced nutrition.
A key point in consuming oatmeal is to avoid boiling it at high temperatures for a long time to prevent the destruction of vitamins. Raw oatmeal needs to be boiled for 20-30 minutes; if cooked oatmeal is boiled with milk, it only needs 3 minutes and needs to be stirred in the middle. Below are popular ways to eat oatmeal.
First method: Raisin oatmeal cookies
Ingredients: 85 grams of butter, 75 grams of fine sugar, 1 egg, 150 grams of low-gluten flour, 50 grams of raisins, 60 grams of oatmeal, 1 and 1/3 bags of fresh milk.
Method:
1. Soften the butter and beat it with fine sugar until it becomes fluffy and white.
2. Beat the egg into egg liquid and add it to Step 1 in 2-3 batches, mix well. Sift in the low-gluten flour, then add the fresh milk and stir well.
3. Soak the raisins in water to soften them, drain the water, and chop them. Mix the raisins with the oatmeal in Step 2 to make a dough.
