Is oat bran different than oat flour? I use oat bran to make blueberry muffins and I can’t help but wonder if I can use oat flour instead? Thanks for all the wonderful recipes. 5.0 rating
Ciara Attwell says
Yes oat bran is different to oat flour. It tends to me more coarse. But you can use both in the muffins. You might just have to adjust how much liquid you put in.
