How to Make Oat Flour

Wendy Faulkner
Oat flour is an easy, and useful ingredient to make at home. Oats make a very nutritious flour, and homemade oat flour takes less than a minute to make. You'll just need oats and a food processor or blender.

Equipment

  • Food processor or blender

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups oats

Instructions
 

  • Add the oats to your food processor or blender, and blitz until you have the consistency of flour.
  • The length of time will depend on how powerful your blender is. A high speed blender might take less than 30 seconds, whereas one with less power might need a couple of minute long sessions.

Notes

You can use rolled oats, porridge oats or old fashioned oats to make oat flour. You can also use pinhead or steel cut oats if you have a high powered blender (they are tougher to break down so you won't get a good flour-like texture in an ordinary food processor).
You'll probably need at least a cup of oats to have enough traction to process properly. But you can vary the quantity according to your needs, provided that the processor isn't more than half full.
Left over oat flour will store well for up to 3 months in an air tight container. It can also be stored in the freezer.
