➡ Rachel’s Tips: How To Make Oat Flour

Oat flour is the simplest flour to make at home, using whole rolled oats (old fashioned oats) and your high speed blender or food processor.

2 cups of whole rolled oats equals about a cup of oat flour, or maybe a bit more, depending on how finely you grind it.

You may have to stop your machine and move the flour around with a spoon.

Process for at least 1 minute. You want your flour to be as finely and uniformly ground as possible.

💡 Sweetness factor is a very personal preference, so you may want to use less or more maple syrup/honey, depending on YOUR family’s specific taste preferences.

  • 1-1/2 tsps ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1-1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups FINELY grated carrots, loosely measured, not packed (about 2 medium carrots)
