Notes
- If you don’t have oat flour, you can easily make your own.
Add oats to a food processor or blender and blend until coarse. Keep pulsing until the oats become a fine flour, with little to no flakes of oats remaining, depending on texture you wish for your recipes. - Use as needed in oat flour recipes and measure but it’s nice to know when grinding oats, there is an almost 1:1 ratio for rolled oats to ground oats , (if the recipe called for a 1/2 oat flour, simply measure just over a 1/2 cup of rolled oats). Oats also give a subtle hint of nuttiness when used in recipes.
- Defrost for a few minutes before eating if freezing.
- For vegan option, use maple syrup or agave, vegan butter if using butter and non-dairy chocolate chips
