You will come across a lot of oat flour in my recipes. Â It’s one of my favorite flours to use for gluten free baking as it is nice and dense, but still soft, and lends a subtle sweetness to baked goods. Â I usually use it in combination with almond flour or by itself, depending on what texture I’m going for. Â
Because it’s a whole grain, oats are protein packed and full of fiber. Â If you do as much baking as I do for your family, it’s a great plus to have so much nutrition packed in. Â
Best part? Â It’s a breeze whip up in seconds in your kitchen!
Did you know you can make your own oat flour at home? Â It is incredibly fast and easy, requiring only one ingredient and a blender or food processor. Â Once I started making my own oat flour I never looked back. Â
Here are some of my favorite recipes to get your started. Â As you can probably guess, there are lots more to come!
