Oat Fiber is:

A magical substance that has zero calories, zero carbs, zero sugar. It adds loads of fiber to your diet with the side benefit of helping to expel other carbs from your digestive tract.

Oat fiber absorbs up to seven times its weight in water making it useful for baking, and as a filler with ground meats.

When added to bakery products, oat fiber allows for the production of low carbohydrate breads, pastries, muffins, crackers and pizza crusts.

Oat Fiber can add bulk to your recipes when you remove sugar.

Oat Fiber can help you stick to your low carb diet including various versions of the Keto Diet, the Always Hungry Diet and the THM (Thin Healthy Mama) Diet.

Oat Fiber is NOT the same as:

  • rolled oats
  • instant oats
  • oat flour
  • oat bran
  • oat groats

Nutritional Analysis:

Here is a nutrition analysis found on one of the brands I use. The 12 grams of fiber effectively cancels out the 12 grams of carbs … resulting in 0 grams of carbs.
