Oat flour has become my go to flour for baking over the past few years and in that time, I've developed quite a few recipes that to use oat flour specifically without requiring any other flours!
Why bake with oat flour? With a nutty flavor and hearty texture, it contains all of the same nutrition as oats including vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein.
Additionally, oats are naturally gluten free (though if celiac or gluten sensitive, use certified gluten-free oat flour to ensure that it hasn't had any cross contamination).
So without further ado, here are the best recipes using oat flour!

Tips and FAQs
How to Make Your Own Oat Flour
For a lot of my recipes using oat flour, I recommend using store-bought for most consistent results.
If you are unable to get your hands on store-bought oat flour, you can make your own out of rolled oats. Large flake, quick or instant will all work*. DO NOT use steel cut oats.
Add the oats to a high powered blender or food processor and blend into a fine powder.
How to Measure Oat Flour
I highly suggest using a kitchen scale to measure your oat flour. (For my recipes, toggle the recipe card to "metric" in order to get the exact measurement.)
Oat flour is less dense than wheat flour. While all purpose flour weighs 120 g per cup when spooned and levelled into a measuring cup, using the same method for oat flour will yield 80-90 g per cup.
However, after several trials, I have found that I consistently achieve 120 g per cup of oat flour (therefore comparable to AP flour and helpful when trying to substitute oat flour for part or all of AP flour in a recipe), by scooping the oat flour into a measuring cup, lightly packing it down and then levelling off the top (see the image below).
If you are not weighing your ingredients for any of my oat flour recipes:
- Scoop
- Lightly Pack
- Then Level Off
Yes, oat flour is simply oats that have been ground into a fine, flour consistency.
While oats should technically be gluten free, sometimes there can be cross contamination in the growth or production. If you need a recipe with oat flour to be gluten free, ensure that you use certified gluten free oats and oat flour.
Oat flour is simply made of ground oats so it has the same nutritional profile as the same amount of oats (by weight). Oats are a whole grain and are a good source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants as well as some protein.
