Health Benefits
Did you know that Beets can lower blood pressure significantly? They also contain blood-vessel-friendly nitric oxide which helps to relax and dilate your blood vessels. It also vastly improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure.
While we could just dye our oatmeal bake with beet powder, I prefer to use whole beets here as I like to bake a whole batch and use them for different recipes.
And on to the oatmeal – I mean, I really cannot stress the benefits of starting your day with oatmeal – be it in overnight oats or porridge!
I also add a pinch of Cinnamon, which is not just a flavor enhancer but also a natural blood sugar regulator. Did you know as little as 1/2 tsp cinnamon daily can have positive effects on blood sugar levels, digestion, immunity, and more?
You can enjoy this beet oatmeal bake as is but I added a Greek yogurt drizzle on top. You could also serve this drizzled with your favorite nut butter.
Now oatmeal tends to be a little plain and has a reputation for looking like baby food and being boring tasting. This simple recipe for beet oatmeal bake is anything but.
The ingredient list is short and it’s fast to make, super tasty, and a delight to look at.
How to make Beet Oatmeal Bake:
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients, so rolled oats, xylitol, chia, cinnamon, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a blender puree the peeled cooked or roasted beet with milk, coconut oil, egg, and vanilla.
Add that pink milk mixture to the dry oat mixture, and stir well.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared pan, sprinkle with cocoa nibs or dairy-free chocolate chips and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the oatmeal is set and golden brown.
