    Oats are a nutrient-dense grain filled with fiber, protein, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, folate, and even some b vitamins. If you can’t stand the taste or texture of oatmeal you can find other ways to get this grain into your diet and oat flour makes it even easier.

    Oats have been recommended by doctors for years for a healthy heart and a natural way to try to reduce cholesterol numbers before considering medication (along with a healthy diet and exercise). (1) Oatmeal is excellent for your microbiome and has a prebiotic effect. (2) So they don’t just make your heart happy, but also your gut!

    WHAT IS OAT FLOUR?

    Oat flour is oatmeal ground up into a fine flour. We suggest using rolled oats, steel-cut oats, or even oat groats.

    IS OAT FLOUR GLUTEN FREE?

    To make it completely gluten-free use your favorite gluten-free oats.

    HOW TO MAKE OAT FLOUR

    • To make oat flour add the desired amount of oats to your high-speed blender.
    • Turn the blender on and blend at medium-high speed until all the oats are ground into flour.
    • Use as desired.

    WHICH BLENDER DO YOU USE?

    We use the Vitamix 5200 with the regular container, although they do sell a dry goods container as well we haven’t felt the need to use that for oat flour.

    HOW TO STORE OAT FLOUR

    Store any unused oat flour in an airtight container until ready to use. 

    WAYS TO USE OAT FLOUR

    Oat flour is an excellent way to get more fiber into your diet. It can be swapped out for flour in some recipes with tweaking other ingredients. It’s perfect for oat flour pancakes, baked goods, and of course our healthy banana muffins!

    When baking with oats it won’t be as light and fluffy as regular flour, instead, it will be a little denser. Adding oat flour to a muffin recipe not only makes the recipe much healthier but you could even enjoy it as your breakfast instead of a bowl of hot oatmeal.
