Substitutes for Rolled Oats in gelato
Rolled oats are steamed, flattened whole-oat groats, roughly 90% solids made up mostly of starch (~58 g) plus ~13-14 g protein, ~7 g fat and only ~1 g free sugar per 100 g. In gelato they act as a flavor and body ingredient rather than a sweetener, usually infused into the base or folded in as a toasted inclusion. If you're out of rolled oats or need a different profile, these are the closest functional swaps — ranked by how similar they are on the balancing numbers, with the impact of each swap.
Swap ~1:1, then expect only minor balance shifts.
