I've been putting oat flower in my shakes recently [0]. Nutrition-label wise it's the same as my steel cut oats, and I've had a tough time finding any solid information on whether or not it digests differently or if it's really meaningfully different at all. (It's easy to find forum posts saying they know what's up, but I haven't found much research or solid medical information. tbh I haven't spent hours searching or anything).

I started doing it because I really hate cooking. I don't even want to boil water for five minutes in the morning to make oatmeal. I don't use it for any kind of super-shake or full meal replacement, but that and some fruit for breakfast seems to work for me pretty well.

Hopefully I'm not unknowingly totally killing myself, heh.
