Oat Flour (Substitute for Eba, Pounded Yam etc)

Just popped in to give a quick tip on how to make Oat Flour. I was recently told about this as a substitute for eating eba, iyan, amala etc. It's much lighter than the aforementioned and a much healthier option too.

Apparently, garri/cassava has very light/minuscule traces of cyanide in it and that's what causes blindness if you eat too much of it. I heard about that as a kid into adulthood, but wasn't too sure how or why garri/eba caused blindness. Now you know. Interesting huh?!

To make Oat Flour, all you need is a blender and dry Quaker Oats. It doesn't matter what kind of oats you have; steel cut or instant oats will work fine.

Make sure your blender is dry
Add oats
Pulse on low until you get a fine powder
Mix with hot water like you would when making eba/garri
Voila!

(I'll post a pic of what it looks like later) It's sometimes called 'wheat flour' as well.

Thank me later ;~)

Enjoy...
