Beta-glucan creates a gel-like consistency in your gut which provides a variety of health benefits from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Supporting the growth of good bacteria in the gut<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Helping to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Helping to reduce blood sugar levels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Increase the feeling of satiety and fullness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Helping to manage energy levels <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Nutritional Highlights of 1\/2 cup of Dry Oats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following nutrition facts are based on one 1\/2 cup serving of dry rolled oats:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calories: 180<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protein: 5 grams<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiber: 3 grams<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zinc: 13.4% of your Daily Value<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manganese: 63.9% of your Daily Value<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Folate: 3.2% of your Daily Value<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin B1: 15.5% of your Daily Value<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iron: 9.4% of your Daily Value (DV)<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well copper, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and other B vitamins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Different Types of Oats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 3 main types of oats you&#8217;ll see at the grocery store and that includes quick oats, rolled oats and steel cut oats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rolled Oats:<\/strong> Rolled oats are also known as &#8220;old fashion oats&#8221;. This type of oats start out whole, then the husk is removed leaving what is called an oat groat. The oat groats are steamed and flattened between heavy rollers to yield a thin rolled oat. Rolled oats are the most popular type of oats in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quick Oats:<\/strong> Quick oats are the most processed form of oats and have been steamed and rolled very thin. This process allows the oats to absorb water and cook in a very quick amount of time! The difference between rolled oats and quick oats is that quick oats are steamed for a longer period of time before they are rolled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Steel Cut Oats: <\/strong>Steel cut oats begin as a whole oat, with the husk removed creating an oat groat. Then the oat groats are chopped into several pieces, instead of being rolled. This process results in steel cut oats taking longer to cook \/ prepare than rolled or quick oats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How To Buy Gluten-Free Oats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For anyone with Celiac Disease or a gluten-sensitivity it&#8217;s best to buy oats that have the Certified Gluten-Free Seal which ensures that the oats truly are gluten-free. While oats are naturally gluten-free, depending on where and how they are processed they may be exposed to cross contamination of other grains that contain gluten. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/oatflour1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/oatflour1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/oatflour1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/oatflour1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/oatflour1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/oatflour1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/oatflour1-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/oatflour1-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/oatflour1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>How To Make Oat Flour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make oat flour start with rolled oats (also known as old fashion oats) and place them in the a blender. I use a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/41fB2zk\">high-speed blended such as this one.<\/a> Blend on high until you create a fine flour like powder. You may need to stop blending and scrape down the sides or stir the oat mixture back down into the blender if the oats are sticking to the side. Repeat blending until all the oats are fully blended into a fine flour. Then measure out the exact amount of flour you need to match your recipe! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip, if your recipe calls for 2 cups of flour you&#8217;ll need to blend a little <em>more<\/em> than 2 cups of dry oats to ensure the proper yield of flour. <\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-112853\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"112853\"
