Equipment

1 High-powered blender or food processor

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

Instructions

Add oats to a clean, dry jug of a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend for 15 seconds to 1 minute (this will depend on your appliance). Stop to check if it's coarse and blitz a few times more until you get a fine, powder-like consistency. Be careful not to over blend or it will get clumpy.

Notes

- Store it in an airtight container, in the pantry, for up to 3 months. Make sure you keep it in a dry, cool, and dark place for maximum freshness. I like to use a sealed glass mason jar.
- Before blending the oats, make sure that the blender cup is clean and dry to avoid any clumps and undesired texture.
- Even though you can use quick or instant oats for this recipe, it's best to make your flour from plain, unflavored rolled oats for the greatest nutrition.
- If you are using a blender with a wide base you may need to add more oats so they can be ground properly into a smooth flour.
- While blending, stop to check if they are any unprocessed oats. Shake the blender cup and blitz again until everything is nicely blended.
- 1 cup rolled oats yields almost 1 cup of flour (1 cup minus 1-2 tablespoons of flour). The end result depends on how finely you ground the oats.
- If you are using oat flour to make any baked goods like muffins, pancakes or waffles let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before using it in the recipe. This allows the flour to absorb the liquid, making the batter thicker and the baked goods lighter and fluffier.
