Today's discovery - I can make my own flour in just a few seconds. For real and it's so easy and beneficial, I can't believe I never know about this.
What is it? It's Oat Flour. And, you just take your Old Fashioned Oats (or use what you have), and put them in your blender and in a few seconds, you have your own flour.
Why make it? It's pretty cheap to make and better for you than regular flour made from wheat. Here are some benefits:
1. It's gluten-free, so if you're allergic, no worries, try subbing regular flour with oat flour
2. It's supposed to lower your risk for heart disease, both coronary and cardiovascular
3. It lowers cholesterol; apparently by inhibiting or lowering the absorption of dietary cholesterol
4. If you are diabetic, it's good for you because of the lower cholesterol, gluten-free, and reducing concentrations of A1c
5. May help decrease blood pressure, and that's a big health benefit
6. It helps you feel full so this is a nice benefit if you're trying to diet
And, for the best part, I used it in breakfast bars and they taste great! They are very moist and delicious. And, they came out to only 6 Smart Points on the Weight Watchers plan. WIN!
