Oat flour is simply oats made into a very fine form. You can use rolled oats or quick oats because they are partially cooked during the processing. However, steel-cut oats will not work for this oat flour recipe.

Truly, all you need is oats, and a highspeed blender.

Store-bought oat flour is often not cheap. Making your own is more cost-effective, and you can ensure the freshness.
