How To Make Oat Flour
Description
How To Make Oat Flour requires only one ingredient: steel cut or rolled oats. By placing the oats in a food processor or blender and blending until the oats become a fine powder, you create a homemade oat flour. This method is a simple way to produce a gluten-free flour alternative, assuming gluten-free oats are used if necessary. The fineness achieved depends on the power of the appliance used; a high-speed blender will work faster than a food processor.
The oat flour produced can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator to preserve freshness and prevent spoilage. This basic technique allows home cooks to create oat flour on demand without purchasing pre-packaged products, useful for a variety of recipes requiring oat flour or flour substitutes.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups steel cut oats or old fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
- Put the oats in a food processor or high speed blender. Blend until the oats become a fine powder. This will only take a few seconds in a high speed blender, and a little bit longer in a food processor.
- Store the oat flour in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use oats labeled gluten-free if you require a gluten-free diet to avoid cross-contamination.
- Store oat flour in an airtight container in the refrigerator for better freshness and longer shelf life.
