Oats are full of goodness and are just a fantastic start of your day. Oats are considered one of the healthiest foods as they are shown to reduce cholesterol, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, stabilise blood sugar, and are a great source of fiber.
The original recipe was found in a runners magazine but can be made in many variations. Bake them in a big batch and you’ll have breakfast for the week!
I had the ricotta oat patties this morning and trust me, it makes a great breakfast!!!! Low fat, 3 grams of fibre and high protein. Have some fruit on the side and this makes a complete breakfast!!!
