I enjoy promoting good food on Restless Chipotle. It’s so easy to get caught up in the busy-ness of life and just pick up what’s available at the local store without considering other options. Better Oats is one of those options.
From the manufacturer:
Better Oats instant oatmeal comes in many delicious varieties – 23 flavors in fact, including RAW Pure & Simple Pomegranate and MMM… Muffins Blueberry Muffin. Kids love Better Oats because it’s fun and delicious, and parents love it because it is not only nutritious, but also convenient. Better Oats uses up to 35 percent less packaging than traditional instant oatmeal boxes (so there’s more room on the pantry shelf), and the pouch doubles as a measuring cup!
Made with 100% whole grain oats and flax seeds, this complete line offers a simple and healthy option when it comes to instant oatmeal. But it’s not only a great breakfast (or lunch… or snack…) but also a better ingredient to spice up a cookie or other baked goods. You’ve got to try Better Oats. If you’ve been settling for ordinary oatmeal, then you’re in for a treat because Better Oats is just… better! Try us and see for yourself.
Better Oats offers 23 delicious flavors in several lines, including RAW Pure & Simple, Oat Revolution, and MMM…Muffins.
RAW Pure & Simple: RAW Pure & Simple is a better way to eat. We start with the finest quality 100% organic, whole grain oats blended with organic whole grains and seeds, like flax, barley and quinoa, for a wonderfully wholesome and nutritious breakfast. You’ll love all four thick, hearty multigrain texture and natural, robust flavors. RAW Pure & Simple is naturally good, straight from Mother Earth.
Oat Revolution: Raise your spoon and join us for an Oat Revolution! It starts with all natural 100% whole grain oats. We then add antioxidants and flax, a good source of Omega-3, and top it all off with a bold shot of flavor. All combine to create delicious oatmeal that keeps its rich, robust flavor all the way to your bowl. Take one bite and start your Oat Revolution!
MMM…Muffins: Everyone loves waking up to hot, fresh muffins for breakfast.
MMM…Muffins gives you that same delicious muffin taste you crave in healthy and nutritious 100% whole grain oatmeal. Our thick and hearty oatmeal is also a good source of fiber and omega-3, so it’s better than good, it’s good for you. Start your day off right with the indulgent taste of real muffin flavor in every bite…mmm.
My kids broke into the oatmeal before I got a chance to figure out how I was going to use the packages I got. That right there should tell you something. It wasn’t until this afternoon that I was able to rescue what was left and decide what to do.
I used the blueberry muffin oatmeal and I decided to make blueberry oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Really, when you consider that the oatmeal has flax and other whole grains for fiber and omega – 3s you don’t have to feel bad about eating cookies, muffins, or anything else you make with Better Oats products.
The cookies were delicious and fit right in with the others on the cookie tray I was making for Christmas. I tweaked these from a recipe I found at Brooke Bakes.
RIch with fiber and Omega -3s, these cookies are a delicious treat fro breakfast or snacks.
