On a recent hunt to lower my hubby’s borderline cholesterol I’ve been doing a lot of research to control it more with the foods we eat rather then starting medication. Oatmeal is a great simple ingredient to try and eat daily if you can. It can be added to a number of things such as cookies, pancakes, shakes, etc. My neighbor’s husband is having the same struggle, except the problem she has is everyone in their house hates oatmeal and gags at the texture of it. Here’s an easy way to sneak in oatmeal without the oat-y texture. Try oatmeal flour, you can substitute it in most of your recipes that use flour just the same as you would wheat flour. This recipe comes from the back of the container the oat flour came in and I was surprised how simple and yummy it was. You don’t have that oat taste it seemed more like a whole wheat bread to me.
