Oatโs beauty is dizzying,
Its taste is embracing,
Its texture is sweeping.

Itโs unique and blends in a lot of moments in the kitchen.
I love grinding oats into flour with which I do wonders.
Originally oat is gluten free, but there are some people who suffer from celiac and are sensitive to a number of components in it.ย
Oats usually grow in proximity to wheat fields or in rotation in the same field, therefore it might contain gluten.
That is the reason why on the supermarket shelves you can find both gluten and gluten free oats.
So if you donโt suffer from celiac or youโre not highly sensitive to wheat,
Thereโs no reason why you would purchase gluten free oats since itโs more expensive than the one that grows in a gluten environment.

How to Grind Oat Flour at Home?
Ingredientsย
- ยฝ cup oats steel cut / rolledย
Steps:
- Put in the blender / spice mill / coffee grinder / shake container ยฝ cup of oats and grind well until forming flour. Pay attention- we want to get a very fine flour just like a cloud and with no visible crumbs.
The amount of oats very much depends on your blenderโs size and abilities.
I recommend starting with a small amount and grinding it. If you see that your device has a bigger capacity- go for it.
A little extra from me:
- If you choose to grind in a simple shake cup, take the smallest one out of your options. Turn the device on for one minute, take the cup out of the device, give it a good shake, put it back in the device and turn it back on for another minute. You should get a very very fine flour.
- How to store the oat flour that we had ground at home? The flour can be kept in a jar or a sealed box in the pantry or the fridge. Kindly notice that the flour will remain fresh for about three months in the pantry and for six months in the fridge. With that said, I recommend grinding the oats into flour close to the time of making the pastry and in the needed amount, this way weโll have a fresh and good flour, since the freshness of the flour affects the pastryโs taste and texture.
- All kinds of flour can be purchased in nature stores and supermarkets and this way avoid grinding it at home. Purchasing pre-made flour does not promise freshness, and of course its cost will be higher.
- Can be grind in a fast grind or pulses according to the strength of your blender / grinder / mixer.
Iโm warning you, itโs going to be love at first site and thereโs no going back.
