Anyone that’s close to us, knows that we try to eat healthy. While we are not extreme by any means, we just try to figure out ways that will help us eat healthier little by little. Andrew loves to work out (I try to join him as much as possible) which in his case means that he wants to get extra protein in throughout the day. We’ve bought protein bars before and tried many different kinds, however, to both of us, they taste chalky most of the time, which isn’t really appetizing (at least to us it’s not).
He recently found a recipe for Pumpkin Protein bars (Look for the post soon) but it called for oat flour. We have a few types of flour here, but oat flour wasn’t one of them. After doing a little research, I found that oat flour is literally just grounded oats. So while I won’t call this a recipe, hopefully you get a nice little cooking tip today 🙂
You need to use cooking oats, not the instant kind. We used steel-cut oats.
Place the oats in a blender or food processor. The measurement is exactly equal. So if you want one cup of oat flour, use one cup of oats.
Blend until fine flour like powder.
Use in recipe.
That’s literally all there is too it!
It’s really great in these oatmeal protein pancakes!

I wonder if it works with quick oats – does it matter? I have quick oats to use up, and I want to make some bars with oat flour – so I want to try this – asap!!
Yes!
