FAQs

What is oat flour?

Oat flour is simply ground oatmeal.  You can purchase oat flour, or make your own using a high powered blender or food processor.
See these instructions on How to Make Oat Flour.

Is oat flour gluten free?

Oats are naturally gluten free, however many oat flour manufacturers produce it in facilities that also produce wheat products.  Make sure your oat flour is certified gluten free if you’re gluten intolerant.

Can I use old fashioned rolled oats instead of oat flour?

No oat flour?  No problem! The same amount of old fashioned rolled oats may be used in place of the oat flour.

Simply blend all ingredients except for the walnuts in a blender until smooth and proceed as directed.
