Oat malt
Oat malt
Oat malt is germinated and dried oat grain used in brewing, baking, or cereal preparations, with malt-like aromas affected by drying and degree of malting.

About Oat malt
Oat malt is oat grain that has been allowed to germinate and then dried, a process that develops malt-like aromas and changes the grain’s texture. It is commonly sold as malted grain or as a milled ingredient. Its flavour can be cereal-like and mildly sweet, though the degree of malting and drying affects the result.
It is used in brewing and in some baking and cereal preparations. Whole malted oats, crushed grain, and malt flour are distinct forms, with different textures and uses; the name alone does not specify a particular roast, grind, or degree of enzymatic activity.
