Abstract
A method of coating uncooked, flaked oats with a desired fat-free coating to form the uncoated, uncooked, flaked oats product is provided. The method involves coating the flaked oats by spraying the flaked oats with coating material, drying the coated, uncooked, flaked oats until the flaked oats have attained the desired moisture content, and packaging the coated, uncooked, flaked oats. The method forms a coated, unagglomerated, uncooked, flaked oats product which is packaged in bulk as discrete, coated, uncooked, flaked oats.
