There are three types of oatssteel-cut, rolled and instant oats.

Old-fashioned rolled oats go through a flattening process after removing the oat hull.

They are steamed and pressed flat, which gives them a softer texture and reduces their cooking time.

To reheat, microwave an oatmeal cake in 30-second intervals until heated through.

If your muffin tin isn’t nonstick, it may be difficult to remove the oatmeal cakes after baking.
