Oatmeal is a cereal that we recommend incorporating into your diet. It has a large amount of fiber in its composition, which is why it improves intestinal transit and favors the development of intestinal bacteria that improve health, and in addition, oats also help regulate cholesterol and have a low glycemic index. These benefits make oatmeal an ideal cereal for those who have diabetes, are looking to lose weight, or aim to eat healthy. We also point out that sometimes it is suitable for coeliacs, but always make sure you find the logo on the package that verifies it.

How to make oatmeal bread
- To start preparing the oatmeal bread recipe, first mix the flour with the flakes.
- Tip: If you don’t have oatmeal, you can process the flakes to the consistency of flour.

- You will need approximately 300 cc to obtain a mixture similar to that of pancakes, but somewhat thicker.
- However, you must add the liquid progressively, since each flour is hydrated in a particular way.
- Next, prepare a mold with vegetable oil or spray and flour. If you wish, you can use a silicone or non-stick mold and you will only need to add oil.
- You could also replace it with parchment paper. In this case, it is a 16 cm diameter savarin mold.
- And if you want to make a mold-sized oatmeal bread, triple the quantities and pour the preparation of your oatmeal bread, cover it.
