I'm just looking for some recipes - the comments that I've seen so far say they wouldn't use it alone, but it's a good additive for bulk and texture (makes things more like wheat flour is used). Here's one recipe I found online:
Here is my variation of a chocolate cake recipe that I saw when I first started this WOE. My recipe makes a wonderful Devils food cake that is a rich, dark, and moist chocolate cake tasting like Oreo cookies.
1 15 oz can Eden Farms Black Soy Beans (drained and rinsed well)
4 eggs
4 oz cream cheese
1 tsp baking soda
1 and 1/2 cups sugar equivalent liquid splenda
4 Tbls unsweetened cocoa (I use a mixture of jet black cocoa and a high fat dutched cocoa)
1 cup oat fiber
2 Tbls vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9" cake pan with pan spray, line bottom with parchment paper and spray lightly. Put all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, loosen sides and invert onto cake rack to cool thoroughly. I have calculated the total net carb count for the cake as 23.4.
And this:
I use oat fiber in my 1 minute flax seed muffin. I use 1/2 flax and 1/2 oat fiber. You have to increase the liquid and flavoring in the recipe. But it makes a softer, cakier porduct. The same batter also makes great waffles.
I've found recipes for pancakes, English muffins, pie crust, the list goes on.

Highlights from Benefits of Oat Fiber from: http://www.livestrong.com/article/248202-benefits-of-oat-fiber/#ixzz1loZoNRkJ

Having a digestive tract that operates correctly means your body is able to eliminate toxins in an efficient way. Elimination of toxins guards the body against many serious illnesses.

Stress can make your body dump (or use up) vitamins - maybe an extra vitamin would help? Deep breathing. I know how you feel about the wedding. But, you aren't as big as you think. Self-image is deceiving. The more you focus on it the worse it looks.
I pray, dear Lord, that you'll help lift Faith's self-confidence, give her a safe and happy trip to Maui, increase her energy levels and help her shed her unwanted weight quickly.

I will post a picture when I make it. I'm off sweeteners just now, so it may be a while. I did order the sf honey from Netrition with all the other goodies. And I got some NOW Glucomannan Powder. Is that anything like the Gluccomann flour?

I made my Krackers with Cheddar cheese as I don't care for Parmesan. I don't have a grindy thing, so just grated the cheese and mixed it like that. It worked perfect.

It's my understanding, Birthday Girl, that you use it just like flour. I have some coming, so I'll do more research and let you know what I find.

Thanks, Rena! I ordered it! If I don't have enough stuff to work with now, I never will! I got the oat flour and am anxious to try it out! I wanted to try it since I first heard about it!
