Benefits of oats

Oatmeal is one of the best cereals that we can include in our diet, since it provides the following benefits for our health:

• It is a good source of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, which is why it provides great energy and vitality.
• It is rich in fiber and is a very satiating food. In addition, it promotes intestinal transit.
• Regulates cholesterol and glucose levels in the blood and helps prevent cravings for sweets.
• It has diuretic properties that help us combat fluid retention and swelling.
• Its content of vitamins B and E and minerals such as zinc promotes the health of skin, hair and nails.

Some people may experience heartburn or other stomach discomfort when consuming raw oats. In those cases it is better to take it cooked or baked, in the form of flour.

Best gluten and lactose free

Many celiacs cannot consume oats because, although it does not naturally contain gluten, when it is processed in the same places as wheat, it becomes contaminated and may contain small amounts of this cereal.

Therefore, if we want this recipe to be one hundred percent gluten-free,  we must choose oats whose label specifies it .

More and more people have different degrees of intolerance to gluten and lactose , as a consequence of adulteration and poor quality of food and also the poor health of our intestine.

For this reason, we propose more digestive and lighter recipes that are suitable for the whole family.

How to make gluten free Oatmeal muffins?

Ingredients

• The juice of ½ lemon.
• Pastry yeast.
• Vanilla or cinnamon essence.
• 2 medium eggs (120 g).
• 2 glasses of vegetable drink (500 ml).
• 3 cups of ground oats (300 g).
• 1 cup of rice flour (100 g).
• 2 cups of whole cane sugar (200 g).
• 1 cup of coconut or sunflower oil (100 g).

* If we like the recipe, we can try other flavors such as candied orange, chocolate chips, grated coconut, cocoa, etc.

Preparation

• First of all, we preheat to 200 ºC.
• We will beat the two eggs, in a mixer or manually. It is very important to beat vigorously so that the muffins are fluffy.
• We will add the oil, lemon juice, vegetable drink and sugar, and continue beating. We will also add the chosen spices or seasonings (vanilla, cinnamon).
• Next, in a separate bowl, we will mix the oat flour with the rice flour.
• We will gradually add the flours to the liquid mixture and continue beating.
• Finally we will add the yeast, we will beat for another minute, and we will have the dough ready.
• At this point, we must put the dough in the refrigerator for half an hour, which will also help the muffins rise more and remain tender.
• We will fill two thirds of each mold. We can sprinkle a little sugar on top to make them crispier.
• We put it in the oven and bake for 15 or 20 minutes at 180 ºC.
• We will check that the dough inside is well cooked before turning off the oven and letting them cool.

Sugar-free muffins?

Although in this recipe for oatmeal muffins we have used whole cane sugar, which is much healthier than white , we can also try sweetening them with honey, cane honey, agave syrup, maple syrup or cereal molasses.

We also have a natural sweetener which is stevia, but it must be purified, transparent in color, and with as little flavor as possible.

To start using it, we can combine it with sugar, and increase the amount in future recipes if we like the flavor. This way our muffins will be even healthier and lighter.
