    It’s really easy to make homemade oat flour!  I use this for a few recipes, cookies, pancakes, and have a hard time finding an organic, gluten-free flour, so I make my own!

    It can be made using two different types of oats.

    The first way: using oat flakes:

    1. The amount you need will depend on your needs and the recipe you are using.  I make a batch of this to have on hand to use.  So, I fill my blender (Vitamix) about half way and blend the oats.  
    2. It only takes a few minutes to blend into a fine flour powder.
    3. Use right away or store in an airtight container.

    Add the oat flakes to a high-speed blender and blend for a few minutes until it becomes flour.

    The second way: using steel cut oats:

    1. This is the other way I have made oat flour.  This method takes a few more minutes in the blender because the oats are harder and different consistency.
    2. Using the same method above, just fill the blender about 1/3 and let the oats blend into flour.  

    Tip:  you may want to stop the blender periodically and shake or stir the oats to combine so they blend evenly.

    Recipe Tips:

    • When blending you might have to stop the blender occasionally and shake it or stir the oat flour so it blends evenly.
    • Store the oat flour in an airtight container or use it immediately.
    • Use in any recipe that calls for oat flour.
