Ingredients
- Gluten-free rolled oats - We use Trader Joe's gluten free oats for this recipe, but you can use other gluten free rolled oats.
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions

- Use or store - Turn off the food processor and use immediately or transfer to an airtight container. (Photo 3 and 4)
Pro tip - If you’re able to, use organic oats. According to EWG, glyphosate is often found in non-organic oat-based products.
How to Use Gluten-Free Flour
This gluten-free oat flour is versatile and is great in baked goods like muffins or breads as well as breakfasts like pancakes and waffles. You can also mix it with other flours like all purpose or wheat flour.
Equipment
This oat flour recipe only requires a food processor or blender.
Storage
Store leftover oat flour in an air-tight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
Top Tips
- Ensure that your blender or food processor is clean and dry before adding the oats. Any moisture can cause the oats to clump.
- Use rolled oats or old-fashioned oats. These oats are steamed and flattened, making them easier to blend into a fine flour than instant oats.
Recipes FAQs
Oats are naturally gluten-free, but are sometimes processed or transported with wheat products. In order to be sure the oats are gluten-free, check the packaging to see if they are certified gluten free.
No, if replacing AP flour, use 1¼ cup of unpacked and leveled oat flour for every 1 cup of AP flour. You may also need more liquid or fat to yield similar results as a replacement for all-purpose wheat flour.
