Oat flakes

Oat flakes are steamed, rolled oat groats used for porridge, baking, and cereal preparations, with cooking time and texture varying by thickness.
About Oat flakes
Oat flakes are oat groats that have been steamed and rolled into flattened pieces. They are usually pale cream to tan, with a mild, slightly nutty grain flavour; their thickness and cooking time vary by type. Common forms include thin or quick-cooking flakes and thicker rolled flakes.
They are cooked as porridge and used in baking and other cereal preparations. Dry flakes are firm and crisp, while cooked flakes soften and absorb liquid. Different rolling and cutting methods produce distinct textures, so the term does not specify one uniform finished product.
