Ingredients

▢ 4 cups Rolled Oats (Or Quick)

Instructions

First, measure out the oats according to your desired yield. For a single batch of this recipe, 4 cups of rolled or quick oats will yield 3 cups of flour.
Next, pour the oats into the jug of your blender or food processor.
Secure the blender lid and blend the oats on a low-medium speed until they have turned into a fine flour. If there are any remaining oat flakes, shake and repeat. The longer they are blended, the finer the flour will become.
Turn the blender off and use a spatula to guide the flour out of the jug and into a bowl or jar. Scrape any flour that is stuck to the edges of the blender or under the blades.
You can use your flour right away, or store it for convenience!

Notes

Some volume is lost when blending rolled or quick oats into flour. The general rule of thumb is that you will get about ¾ of the amount of (rolled or quick) oats used. Therefore, when using 2 to 5 cups of oats, your flour yield will typically be about one cup less than the amount of oats used.

For example, if you use 4 cups of oats, you will get about 3 cups of flour. If you blend a cup or less, you may lose around a quarter cup.

Use organic oats to avoid harmful pesticides and herbicides.

Use certified gluten-free oats if you have celiac disease or are sensitive to gluten or wheat.

For the most nutritional value, blend your Oat Flour as needed to use it fresh.

To store, seal your Homemade Oat Flour in an airtight container to prevent exposure to air, moisture and bugs and keep it in a cool, dark and dry pantry or cupboard.

For the best flavour and freshness, keep it in a glass jar or container as plastic can leach unwanted flavours and toxins.

If sealed in an airtight container and stored in a cool, dry and dark place, Homemade Oat Flour can last up to 3 months. It can also be stored for up to 6 months in the freezer if placed in a freezer-safe container.
