Why replace wheat flour with oats?
Comparing 50 grams of each of these cereals, we have 175.5 calories, 38 grams of carbohydrates, 5.8 grams of protein, 0.7 grams of lipids, 1.2 grams of dietary fibre and no resistant starch in wheat flour; in oat flour, there are 175 calories, 33 grams of carbohydrates, 7.5 grams of proteins, 3.5 grams of lipids, 5 grams of dietary fibre and 0.8 of resistant starch.
Therefore, the oat option is less caloric and healthier. In addition, it has more fibre, helping to reduce fat and regulate blood glucose. All this without counting the feeling of satiety it promotes in the body.
Therefore, it is worth doing the total or partial replacement, as seen in this article’s 20 oat cake recipes. Thus, having a healthy and nutritious dessert is possible without compromising the diet and weight loss process.
