Flake
Oat flakes (rolled oats) are steamed and flattened groats that cook quickly into familiar porridge and bake into cookies, crumbles, and granola. Thickness varies—jumbo, regular, and quick-cook flakes. Flavour is mild and toasty when fresh. Use for overnight oats, baking, and binding meatballs or veggie burgers. Quick oats cook faster but can turn mushy; old-fashioned flakes hold more texture. Store airtight to protect the oils.
