Note:
This recipe must be made with steel-cut oats, not rolled oats or even quick cooking steel-cut oats.

Steel-cut oats have the same nutrients and fiber that any oat product does. However, because they are less processed and made with more water, you can eat a smaller portion, thereby consuming fewer calories. Because they are less processed, they take longer to digest, which is better for blood sugar levels and a feeling of fullness for a longer period of time.

Amaranth and goji berries are high protein, nutritionally rich super foods.

If you must be gluten-free, look for certified gluten-free steel-cut oats.
