Oat Flour
Description
Oat Flour is made simply by processing rolled oats in a food processor until they become a powdery flour. This homemade oat flour captures the gentle flavor and nutritional qualities of whole oats in a usable flour form. The fine milling means it can be incorporated into baking recipes that specifically require oat flour, adding soft texture and a slightly sweet, nutty taste. It cannot be universally substituted for all-purpose flour or all gluten-free flour blends due to differences in gluten content and binding properties.
The process is straightforward: start with whole rolled oats, pulse until fine, stirring occasionally to ensure even grinding. The recipe notes that 2 cups of rolled oats yield about 1 1/2 cups of oat flour. Ensure the oats are certified gluten-free if a gluten-free product is needed.
Once made, store oat flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
