That was my first consideration, was creating a centrifuge to separate the oat bits from the mallows, but the holes in the oats may provide air pockets to create a little lift, while the mallows are floating purely by lack of density.
Because of such, the sticky property of the mallow was the next hunch, as the oat bits wouldn't be able to stick with a light mist of water.
