Steel cut oats look more like rice than rolled oatmeal and take longer to cook because they are less processed. They also have a lower glycemic index than instant oatmeal, which will prevent your insulin levels from rising.
Wheat germ is packed with Vitamin E and folate among many other vitamins.
Ground flax seed is an excellent source of essential Omega-3 fatty acids, which are considered “essential” because they body needs them but is incapable of making them by itself. Omega-3 fatty acids are important because they may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and maintain proper brain function.
The recipe also calls for walnuts and dried fruit. Anne suggests sautéing the walnuts in a little brown sugar and Earth Balance to bring some special sweetness to your bowl.
