4 Substitutes for Rolled Oats in Vegan Black Bean Burgers
1. Buckwheat flakes
Ratio: 1:1
Naturally gluten-free with a slightly nuttier, earthier flavour. Works in porridge, granola and crumbles.
2. Quinoa flakes
Ratio: 1:1
Gluten-free and very quick-cooking. Milder flavour - a very close substitute in porridge.
3. Desiccated coconut (fine)
Ratio: 1:1
Completely changes the flavour - works in granola and sweet baking but not porridge.
4. Certified GF oats
Ratio: 1:1
Oats are naturally gluten-free but often contaminated - certified GF oats are the simplest option for most needs.
