We put dozens of brands to the test
4. McCann's Quick & Easy Steel Cut Irish OatmealMcCann's is a massive oatmeal brand—you probably grew up with it in your house —and for good reason. This is exactly what oatmeal should taste like.
Light in texture, it doesn't have that stuck-in-your-mouth feeling of other oatmeals. And since the only ingredient is literally rolled oats, it serves as a good base for whatever toppings you're into. While it's non-GMO, it isn't organic—a major consideration for Ostrower. Also, she isn't a fan of the"ready in five minutes" thing."It's a little more processed, which means the body breaks it down more rapidly," she says."For people who have blood sugar issues or are diabetic, they'll want to go for something slower-cooked." That rules out"instant" oatmeals, too.
Ostrower points out that it has seven grams of protein and eight grams of fiber—more than the average oatmeal. But there is one thing on the label that she takes issue with: the sugar content."There are five grams in here, while the other brands hardly have any," she says.
, a celebrity chef, nutritionist, and reiki master, breaks down the different types of oatmeal and how to prepare them.Oat groats are essentially the basis of all the other types of oats, which means they’re the least processed and most nutritious. “They are oat plants that have been cleaned, hulled, and heated and are a whole grain with the bran, germ, and endosperm,” Poon says. But, because they’re not as processed, she adds that they are the most laborious type of oatmeal to prepare.
