So many recipes now call for flours much different than the All-Purpose or Whole Wheat that we are used to.
Almond flour, rice flour and oat flour have become common among ingredient lists. Â If these flours are not something you regularly use, Â it can be pricey to buy a bag that you may only need for a small amount.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money because you already have everything you need in your pantry to make your own oat flour, simply and inexpensively.
If you use while oats are gluten free, you need to make sure that the raw oats you buy are certified free of all possible contamination… and then you can make your own gluten-free oat flour at a fraction of the cost.

Love this tip! We make our own almond flour the same way!
I used quick cooking oats. Is there a difference? I am also going to store in Freezer..
