Oats are widely-known for their ability to reduce the risk of heart disease, thanks to soluble fiber. These on-the-go, crave-worthy oat cups combine the wonderful flavors of carrot cake without the mouthful of sugar. Adding sweet potatoes boosts nutrition and adds sweetness so added sugar may be kept to a minimum.
