DASHING DISH TIPS

Here are a few simple tips for making Dashing Dish recipes with ease!

When the recipe calls for old-fashioned oats, but you have oat flour on hand, simply use ¼ cup less oat flour than the old-fashioned oats that the recipe calls for (example: a recipe calls for 1 cup old-fashioned oats; use ¾ cup oat flour).
