Being that oatmeal is a heart-healthy breakfast option, I have really tried my best to incorporate it into my diet. It is considered a superfood that will keep you fuller longer while providing nutrients like fiber and antioxidants. I found store-bought flavored oatmeal to be too sugary with not so much oats and that is why I started trying to make my own flavors at home.
