This morning I decided to cook the oat flour in my shake. I mixed 1/4 cup oat flour with maybe 4 ounces of milk and popped it into the microwave for 60 seconds. The result was a thick paste that didn’t mix well, resulting in globs of cooked oat “dumplings” in the shake. However, the shake was still thicker than usual and the taste was indeed a bit better. The alchemy now comes into perfecting the cooking of the oat flour resulting in a smoother porridge with better mixing qualities.
