According to the author of Leviticus, if someone did something wrong and couldn't bring birds for an offering, they could instead bring some flour to say sorry to God. They shouldn't add oil or nice-smelling stuff to the flour because it's meant to be a special offering for their mistake.

Leviticus 5:11: But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put [any] frankincense thereon: for it [is] a sin offering.
