Oat fiber is an insoluble fiber made from grinding the oat hull, which is the shell that surrounds the oat groat (or kernel).
Whole oat groats come from harvesting oats, washing them, and removing their hulls. The groat is the source of most oat products we use. But unlike rolled oats, steel cut oats, and all those other celebrity oat siblings, oat fiber is actually made purely from the husk.
Now oat fiber doesn’t have a lot to offer in the way of nutrients, as it’s pretty much non-digestible. But that’s just fine because it isn’t consumed in order to load up on vitamins and minerals — leave that job to blueberries and kale.
Oat fiber shines in other ways.
It can be an oat-standing substitute for wheat flour if you’re looking to keep your tasty baked creations gluten-free or low-carb. Try using it alone or in a homemade flour blend, working in tandem with coconut flour, almond flour, or flax meal. Plus, oat fiber is a superstar at absorbing liquids, so it can be oat-rageously helpful in keeping the texture of your baked goods moist and soft. (Did someone say Maxine’s Heavenly Cookies?)
It’s all about that fiber. Fiber is excellent for digestion, weight management, lowering cholesterol, and helping to control blood sugar levels.
