Wondering About Oatmeal And How Many Enjoy It Still....what Do You Put With It....if Anything....thank You
I measure a 2 tablespoon portion of dry steel cut oats, then prepare it, 2-3 times a month, knowing my 2 hour number will be out of range for me. Some things you just have to do once in a while.
Thanks Nan 22....how much oatmeal (cooked) would you have 1/2 cup, or full cup????????
I use fresh or frozen berries of all kinds and sometimes will add some hemp seeds for added protein.
@A DiabetesTeam Member I just follow the package
I measure the 1/4 cup - put the water (at whatever the direction states) and bring it to a boil - add the oatmeal and boil for the (maybe minimally 10 minutes - would have to check the package) - basically until it's the consistency that "I prefer" - I like it "sticky"
If you have never used Swerve before it is supposedly a 1 for 1 replacement for sugar
I do find a touch "less sweet" then the real thing but you can use as much as you want so if you want that "sugar rush" (without the actual rush), pile the stuff on 😁
The Lakanto brand uses slightly different ingredients
The Swerve is 100% Erythritol (zero GI/zero carbs) and the Lakanto is 50/50 Erythritol and Monk Fruit (still zero GI/carbs but not quite as sweet if you want a little more subtle)
The Lakanto caramelizes really nicely if you want to make something with a brown sugar "glaze" or if you try making Keto Butter Tarts - mmmmmm - the Swerve still works and gives the flavour, but the Lakanto will give you that slightly crunchy texture that will fool anyone
Many people with diabetes still enjoy oatmeal. Here are some popular additions to make it both tasty and diabetes-friendly:
- Cottage Cheese or Yogurt: Adds protein and creaminess
- Fruit: Fresh or frozen berries, apples, or bananas for natural sweetness.
- Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or flaxseeds for Show Full Answer
My Question Is About Oatmeal
