Oat Flour

Oat flour is made by finely grinding oat grains or flakes and is a popular alternative to wheat flour. It has a mild, slightly nutty flavor and a creamy beige color. Due to its high content of fiber, protein, and minerals, it is more nutritious than regular white flour. It is used in baking cookies, cakes, pancakes, breads, and muffins. Since it lacks sufficient gluten, it is often combined with other flours in baking. It is suitable for people with wheat sensitivity, but it is not gluten-free for celiacs unless certified as such. Its low glycemic index helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
