Oat flake
Oat flakes are a type of ingredient that comes from oats, a grain plant commonly grown for its seeds. These flakes are essentially flattened oats that have been processed to create a flat, flake-like shape. Oat flakes are a popular choice in many recipes and food products due to their wholesome qualities.
To make oat flakes, whole oat grains are first cleaned and de-husked, then steamed and flattened through a rolling process. This flattening process results in the thin, flake-like texture that oat flakes are known for. After this, the flakes are toasted to give them a slightly nutty flavour and to enhance their shelf life.
Oat flakes appear in various food products like granola bars, cereals, and oatmeal cookies because they add a crunchy texture, nutty flavour, and are a good source of fibre. They can also provide a natural sweetness to dishes without the need for added sugar. Oat flakes are commonly used in baking to create a chewy texture or as a topping for yoghurts and smoothie bowls for an added crunch.
