Kelly Mulcair Registered Nutritionist. Content © 2011 Trinity Nutrition. 25/10/14 19:15: Oh my gosh, these look amazing and what a great idea to grind the oats into flour. I digest oats well but many do not so this method not only renders the oats more versatile for baking it also breaks them down into a more digestible form. Love it.
