If you haven’t heard of oat flour, you probably live under a rock. Over the last decade or so, oat flour, has become a lot more readily available, and there have been a lot more recipes that call for it. It is very popular to use for people who are avoiding gluten out of a lifestyle choice or those who have a gluten intolerance or celiac disease. However, oat flour is not something that can always replace your regular weight, all purpose flour. It can be finicky. This podcast episode will explain to you what oat flower is, how you can make it at home, the difference between store-bought oat flour, and homemade oat flour, and how to use oat flour in your home baking.
