FAQ
Rolled oats are oats that have been separated from the husk, steamed, and flattened. Rolled oats work well for baked oats because they soften quicker than other types of oats. For example, steel-cut oats are not steamed or rolled, they are just cut into thin slices. They don’t work well in baking because they won’t soften.
Oats are healthy in their own way! They contain fiber which lowers blood glucose and cholesterol levels. All the health benefits help reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
