The Best Oatmeal Recipes to Lower Inflammation, Say Dietitians

If you're looking for a healthy breakfast, oatmeal is always a safe bet. Consuming oats can help you lower your cholesterol, manage your blood sugar, work toward your weight loss goals, and improve your gut health. And depending on which ingredients you choose to include, you can make your oatmeal even healthier.

Another common benefit of choosing oatmeal for breakfast is that it can help you lower inflammation. It isn't a miracle food that will remove your inflammation instantly, but it can be consumed as a part of a well-balanced diet and can help contribute to an overall healthy lifestyle.

To learn more about specific ways you can make your oatmeal even healthier, we talked with dietitians Lauren Manaker, MS, RDN, author of The First Time Mom's Pregnancy Cookbook and Fueling Male Fertility and Trista Best, MPH, RD, LD at Balance One Supplements, and they hand-selected their favorite Eat This, Not That! oatmeal recipes that can help with inflammation.

Here's what they chose, and for more healthy eating tips, check out 6 Best Breakfast Recipes for Belly Fat.

1

Keto Overnight Oats

"The shining star of this oatmeal is the walnuts, as this nut is the only nut that is an excellent source of ALA omega-3 fatty acids, which may help combat inflammation," says Manaker. "Contrary to popular belief, dairy foods don't cause inflammation, and in some cases, may help combat this condition. And lastly, berries are a quintessential anti-inflammatory food, and including them can help lower inflammation in a natural way."

Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

"Peanut butter is a plant-based protein that is loaded with healthy fats," says Manaker. "Using maple syrup in this oatmeal recipe is a positive move when trying to combat chronic inflammation, as using 100% pure maple syrup from Canada will provide the body with quebecol, a polyphenolic chemical compound that has anti-inflammatory benefits."
