What is Oat Fiber?

As a Trim Healthy Mama follower and FB moderator, one question that comes up frequently is about a product called oat fiber.  It is different from oatmeal, oat bran and oat flour.  I thought I'd do a short video and show a few pictures of the differences between them.

I forgot to add oat flour to this picture, but it is in the video.  


Here is my first ever video on this blog:



This is one of my favorite "new" products and I use it a lot.  In the Trim Healthy Mama book there is a recipe for a muffin in a bowl that is delicious.  Since the book came out, many ladies have come up with wonderful variations including an FP bread, FP strawberry shortcake and several different kinds of muffins and cakes.  This chocolate cake in particular is FABULOUS.

The oat fiber has no calories, no fat and no net carbs.

You can purchase oat fiber from Netrition or Honeyville.

Hi Karen, thanks so much for this explanation. I've linked it many times for the fuel pull dessert pictures I've posted on THM facebook that call for oat fiber and people always confuse oat bran for the fiber. Great video!!

Does anyone know what the density of oat fiber is? I don't have a scale but have seen recipes calling for both volume measurements and mass measurements. The bag I bought says a teaspoon is 3 grams, but other sources seem to suggest that 3 grams is more like a tablespoon. Some have stated that 20 grams would be around 1/4 cup, others 15 grams.
