Rolled Oats
Rolled oats (think: old fashioned oatmeal, not the quick-cooking kind) are the most common whole grain you'll find in granola. They're inexpensive and everywhere you shop. Soluble oat fiber (one cup of oats contains nearly 4 grams of fiber) and the antioxidants found in oats have been linked to lowering cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, stabilizing blood sugar and a host of other health benefits.
