Question: must oat bran be cooked?
Answer: Raw oat bran can be added to many foods including cold cereal, yogurt, smoothies and casseroles. It's also an easy addition to baked good recipes including muffins, cookies, loaves and crisps. To enhance oat bran's nutty flavour, you can toast it on a baking sheet at 375°F for 5 or 7 minutes, or until lightly browned.
