Oat
Oats are rolled or ground cereal grains that go soft and creamy when they soak or simmer. They are the base of the overnight oats and an Oatmeal Strawberry Bowl, a binder in Oatmeal Banana Cake and Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies, and the crunch in Oat and Chia Seed Crackers. Rolled oats hold their shape better than instant.
