The patties should turn out just fine with quick oats, as well. hope you enjoy these ideas!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-65745722051798116962019-08-07T14:34:34.951-07:002019-08-07T14:34:34.951-07:00Anonymous said...

I'd never thought to add the oats to spaghetti sauce. I have added dry TVP to thin spaghetti sauce before. This would have a similar effect. For the muffins, I don't know if you do this ,too, but I blend leftover oatmeal with the other liquid ingredients. This way the oatmeal doesn't clump together in the muffins. This works really well in banana or pumpkin bread, too.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-8533594416265309772019-08-07T14:31:23.183-07:002019-08-07T14:31:23.183-07:00Bonnie said...

Oat flour would definitely make a cheaper gluten-free flour, even if you were sensitive enough to need gluten-free oats.<br />I'm glad I could offer a suggestion that might work for you.<br /><br />Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-59026965169465095212019-08-07T14:27:44.657-07:002019-08-07T14:27:44.657-07:00Cat said...

I paid about 63 cents/lb for rolled oats, 27 cents/lb for white flour, and about 27 cents/lb for whole wheat flour. So, I wouldn't spend the time making oat flour for all or most of my baking, unless there was a particular outcome I wanted (like the flavor or texture that oat scones or oat bread has) or I was about out or all out of white flour and needed some kind of flour to bake what I wanted. The other reason I might choose to make oat flour or oat crumbs to add to meat might be if I was trying to increase the soluble fiber in my diet to reduce overall cholesterol levels in my blood.<br /><br />Good question.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-10612427527174616642019-08-07T14:19:33.225-07:002019-08-07T14:19:33.225-07:00Anonymous said...

I sometimes add bread crumbs to ground beef for hamburger patties when I've needed to stretch what I had. It works great and gives a softer texture to the beef.

My tummy troubles have eased considerably. I have been challenged a lot with baking as the alternative flours are so expensive. Many recipes call for almond flour. It is $12.99 for 12 oz. at my closest store. As one person commented "close" counts in a winter like last year. I will not buy it in any case. This has been such an informative post! Thanks so much; I will be more aggressive about finding out about oats.

Winter Saturday mornings -- hot oatmeal for breakfast. Then the following Sunday mornings -- oatmeal, egg, etc patties for breakfast or a quick lunch after church.<br />The oat milk is a great thing to know how to do in a pinch. It's easier to make than rice milk, and very handy for those times when you can't get out to the store and you're out of milk. We had a couple of weeks this past winter when I couldn't get out of the neighborhood because of the icy roads. I made milk substitutes when we ran out of milk.

Very ingenious! I have used oat flour before in yeast breads and I love it--it seems to make the bread more moist and adds a subtle nutty taste.
