How Do You Make Oat Flour?

It’s actually SO easy! Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Heavy Duty Blender or Food Processor
  • Old Fashioned Oats {also known as Rolled Oats}

Is Oat Flour Good to Bake With?

It sure is! Oat flour is delicious in all sorts of baked goods from breakfast to dessert, and is such a simple way to sneak more fiber and protein into your treats!

Can I Use Oat Flour Instead of All Purpose Flour?

You sure can… however it’s not a 1 for 1 conversion. Oat flour is actually much lighter in weight than all purpose flour, so you may need to add more oat flour than a recipe with all purpose flour calls for. A kitchen scale will come in handy when measuring. 🙂

What is Oat Flour Best Used For?

Oat flour is SO versatile and can be used in so many delicious ways! Here are a few of my favorite uses for oat flour:

  • Breading for Fried Chicken
  • Breads
  • Brownies
  • Cookies {use 1/2 oat flour + 1/2 all purpose flour}
  • Crisp & Crumble Toppings {use 1/2 oat flour + 1/2 oats}
  • Cupcakes
  • Meatballs without Bread Crumbs
  • Pancakes
  • Muffins
  • Waffles

Oat Flour Recipe

Did you know you can make your own oat flour in about 60 seconds? You won't believe how EASY this Oat Flour Recipe is to make!
Prep Time1 min
Total Time1 min
Course: Baking
Cuisine: American
Servings: 1 serving

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Old Fashioned Oats {Rolled Oats}
  • 1 Food Processor or Heavy-Duty Blender also needed

Instructions

  • Transfer oats to a Food Processor or Heavy-Duty Blender, and pulse or blend just until oats turn into a powdery consistency. This usually takes between 20 seconds to 1 minute, based on your machine. {Note: Be careful not to overdo it, as pulsing or blending too long can result in a clumpier texture}
  • Use oat flour right away in your recipe, or transfer to a mason jar and seal with a lid for later.
  • Storage tip: Oat flour can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Notes

This recipe yields 1 1/4 cups of Oat Flour.
For a larger batch, recipe can easily be doubled.
