Oats are a pretty phenomenal ingredient. Not only are they cost-effective, high in protein and magnesium, but they are very versatile. Unfortunately, most people only use it to make oatmeal when there’s so much more to do with oats! Make the most out of your oats with these recipes.
Oatmeal Bars
If you are looking to make an on-the-go breakfast that is satisfying and simple, oatmeal bars are a great recipe to choose. Take a ripe banana, mash it and add oats. Combine until a dough forms, spread onto a baking sheet, and bake! Adding cinnamon to this recipe would also be a great addition, not only for flavor but for health benefits. Cinnamon boosts your metabolism, making it ideal to eat first thing in the morning.
Oat Flour
Baking when there is a gluten intolerance can sometimes be difficult, and can often get costly with gluten-free flours. A simple way to keep baking but satisfy your gluten-free needs is by using oat flour. You just need to blend rolled oats until the consistency is that of flour and you’re ready to bake!
Face Mask
Oats make such a fabulous face mask because they have a quality that helps contain moisture, making it great for your skin. To make this hydrating face mask, simply combine oats with honey and water. Leave it on your skin and be prepared to be amazed.
