Easy Non-Recipe Ideas: • Add raw oats to your smoothies and smoothie bowls! • Your morning bowl of oatmeal doesn’t have to be sweet. Top it with a poached egg, some wilted greens, any type of cheese you have, a spray of olive oil and even hot sauce! • If flour is hard to come by, throw oats in a blender and make your own oat flour! It can be used alone or combined with all purpose flour to increase the fiber content of a recipe. • Use as an egg replacement to bind your burgers/meatballs! You can use in meat burgers or veggies burgers (1/4-1/2 c per lb of meat) • Use coarsely ground oats as a breading for chicken instead of breadcrumbs |
