Oats have the highest protein content of all cereals. Like other grains, oatmeal contains proteins called prolamines. Oats have a specific type of prolamine called avenin. Unlike other grains, however, oats also contain proteins called globulins, which are considered to be similar in make-up to the proteins found in legumes. Due to the water solubility of globulins, oats can be turned into a milk-like substance, but cannot be turned into bread without the addition of another grain flour.
