Oat Fiber - 4 Pound Bag

Takes some practice to get the hang of baking with this, but it's not really hard. I've found so far, that I can replace about 1/4 to 1/3 of other flours with this. Any more and it just falls apart, or doesn't have a good texture. Don't expect to swap cup for cup, but you can lower you're carbs a fair amount, and increase your fiber. Flavor is mild, not much difference in the taste of the final product. It works well in pancake batter, but you must use at least 1/2-2/3 of other flours to get good results. I used 1/3 cup oat flour, 1/3 cup wheat flour, 1/3 cup oat fiber, and added a couple of tsp. vital gluten to hold it together. Best to mix all the dry ingredients together first, before adding eggs or liquid.

Great product. Mine arrived opened and I lost some of the oat fiber. :( However, that could have been a delivery issue.

I purchased this product and have tried it in a few recipes such as pancakes and brownies, as well as simply cooking it with oat bran.The strong sawdust-like taste is very difficult to mask. I've thrown out everything I've made with it so far because the flavor was just a bit too strong.This product is best used as only a very small fraction of whatever it is used in, but on the whole I would look to more palatable sources of fiber.For a better tasting fiber for bulky baked items, defatted coconut flour has a much better taste and having the ability to be used as a much, much greater proportion in a recipe.

I haven't succeeded with this product yet

Tried to make a "healthier" pancake with this following directions I found on a website. I found the pancakes to be a little "gritty" with a sawdust like texture. Didn't taste bad but didn't like the texture.

I use this to boost the fiber content in baked goods. It is 100 percent fiber, so when mixed with other 100% fiber product such as fax seed meal or lower carb nut/seed flours, it helps keep net carbs at a minimum. 3 years ago I lost 150 pounds on a strict diet regimen and have been successfully maintaining for the past 2 years by calorie counting, and maintaining a lower carb lifestyle. I have no negative results when I use this product in moderation while low carbing.

However, be prepared for all the powder flying around when you open it. I was warned by a friend, but for some reason the bag is not able to contain all the powder and it gets on EVERYTHING in the package.

Wierd stuff--still learning low carb/gluten free cooking but so far everything I make with this (and yes they are recipes written for oat fiber not my own creations) have been super dry and crumbly. There was an issue with my order--damaged in shipment--and I had to contact both Amazon and Honeyville to get anything moving. All in all waited almost 2 weeks to get my order :S I have read several reviews of Honeyville with people totally pleased with their service so I'm willing to give them another shot in the future but as for this order...not a very positive experience.
