About this episode
Maybe you already know all the nutritional reasons to bake with fresh flour, but did you know the same benefits go hand-in-hand with flaking oats at home?The lousy results of processing flour mirror the same results with oats you buy at the store: old-fashioned oats, rolled oats, and quick oats are all highly processed and void of nutrients.This episode gives some practical advice on how to flake oats for maximum nutrients. It covers the variety of grains that can be used, and explains the benefits of fresh flaking oats. Michelle shares tips on choosing and using an oat flaker and offers alternatives with things you already have in your kitchen. Michelle also discusses flaking other grains, provides recipe ideas for nutrient-rich breakfasts, and promotes her resources like Fresh Flour University for deeper insights into whole-grain baking and health.Find all the details here: https://soulyrested.com/oatsPlease check out our sponsors:The best coffee: https://www.jporganiccoffee.com/SOULYRESTEDThe best tea: https://lddy.no/uceeThe best soaps and skin care: https://soulyrested.com/soapGrab my Pantry Checklist (loaded with discounts on my favorite ingredients) for free right here: https://soulyrested.com/pantry/Go here to get special offers for podcast listeners in your inbox: https://soulyrested.com/podcast/ FREE resources:Learn how to use fresh milled flour: https://graceful-base-213.myflodesk.com/k36hnsvbh7Learn about kombucha (and grab some of my favorite recipes): https://graceful-base-213.myflodesk.com/b91bdd18-3581-414f-b145-8acd2e508a52Learn about dehydrating food: https://graceful-base-213.myflodesk.com/fl36xcgpvqLearn about baking with maple syrup: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/62116313e0eda1a0d870b747Learn about making your own maple syrup: https://graceful-base-213.myflodesk.com/q5ecjrundzLooking for more free resources?
