Does anyone have any info on this? I can't eat cooked oats straight up. It reminds me too much of vomit.
Why are you worried about the high glycemic index of the brown sugar when the fiber, fat, and protein content of your bfast will lower the glycemic load of the entire meal thus negating the issue of high GI sugar? Fructose is lower GI than sucrse but fructose can't fill muscle glycogen stores either, only liver glycogen. So are you worried something that likely will have no impact on your body composition?
