Dr Jockers Comments:
We were always told to believe that oatmeal is healthy, but the grains are highly inflammatory and cause blood sugar dysregulation. This is a low-carb, anti-inflammatory version that tastes great!
This is loaded with healthy fats from the coconut milk and the pasture-raised eggs. The good fats along with the fiber and prebiotics from the flax/chia seeds and the cinnamon help to maintain healthy blood sugar signaling patterns and reduce inflammation.

What makes oatmeal or other grains inflammatory?
Looks great, what can I use instead of eggs? I live how different this is!
Grains metabolize into glucose, which raises insulin levels, insulin promotes the release of inflammatory prostaglandins and IL-6 immune factors.
You could probably make this without the eggs if you didn’t want them.
According dr.Esselsteyn.s book :: prevent and reverse heart disease he just recommend oats as breakfast and no eggs!
What is the truth?
Hey Sjef, there is definitely a lot of conflicting information out there. Many people do much better taking grains and high-carb meals out of their diet. A ketogenic diet with plenty of healthy fats and plant foods is also great for the heart!
I have made this recipe twice and I absolutely love it. Even my husband likes it and he doesn’t even like oatmeal very much. I use frozen riced cauliflower and double the recipe so that I can have it two days in a row since it’s a little more work to make than regular oatmeal. Regular oatmeal makes me feel horrible and bloated even though it used to be one of my favorite tasting foods. I have gone without it for a couple years now and I am sooooo grateful to have found this amazing recipe! I can’t wait to make it in the winter when I really need some soul food. (I tried the other recipe on this website that calls for hemp hearts
and it tasted nothing like oatmeal… I did not like it at all).
Thanks for sharing Michelle! Blessings to you!
I have always believe that the quality of the source is the key. As an 90 year-old Irishman replied Dr. Ken Berry : people from Ireland have more than 4,000 years consuming steel-cut oats with enormous benefits. This old personn said he had 40 years consuming it with great health and satisfaction. In my personal experience I have been taking it raw with water, almond milk or other vegetable milk, raw cacao and seeds fro more than 40 years. Steel-Cut Organic Sprouted Oats Glyphosate Free are the ideal way to eat oatmeal if you don’t have intestinal inflammatory issues. Oats have soluble fiber that lowers LDL Cholesterol – we have to figure which subtype: small or large particles -. This fiber is also pre-biotic and favors the synthesis of short fatty acids. Oats as the super -mushrooms have also beta-glucans that are anti-angiogenic when malignant tumors want to spread.
