Cooking with Oat Flour Recipes
Cooking with Oat Flour is Easy
First of all, you can save some money by making your own oat flour. Instead of buying it prepackaged and exorbitantly overpriced, spend a few minutes in your kitchen. Making your own flour is easier than you may think. It makes cooking with oat flour much more fun, also.
Oat Flour Recipe:
1) Simply take some whole oats (rolled or quick variety) and put them into a blender or food processor. A coffee bean grinder works remarkably well, also.
2) Grind until a floury consistency is reached.
3) That is all there is to making your own oat flour.
4) Store in airtight container such as a jar.
5) Label the jar with the grinding date.
Here are some recipe suggestions for cooking with oat flour:
1) As a meat coating:
a. Place oat flour and some spices in a pie pan. Mix together.
b. Beat some milk and egg together in another pie pan.
c. Dip chicken or meat in egg mixture.
d. Then, dip meat into oat flour.
e. Cover thoroughly.
f. Place onto lightly greased baking sheet.
g. Cook in 350 oven until meat is done.
Or, try this class-tested oat flour recipe that is popular with my students. It is a great way to introduce cooking with oat flour:

4 whole chicken breasts, no skin, no bone

2) In baked products:
Oat flour can be added to a variety of recipes calling for refined or wheat flour. It adds an extra nutty taste and is nutrient-rich. Oat flour can be used as a substitute for other flours. Or, I like to decrease the amount of refined or wheat flour by half and replace it with oat flour. Many times, the recipe's liquid amount must be adjusted.
Here's an easy recipe to enjoy cooking with oat flour in baked foods:
Oat Shortbread (makes 24 servings)
2 cups whole oats, rolled or quick variety
1-3/4 cups oat flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup apple juice, frozen concentrate
¼ cup butter, margarine, or your choice of
1 T vanilla
§ Lightly oil and prepare a 9"x13" baking pan.
§ Mix all ingredients together.
§ Stir thoroughly.
§ Spread mixture into prepared baking pan.
§ Press down mixture.
§ Bake in 325 oven for about 10 minutes.
§ Careful when removing from pan after cooking.
§ This mixture has a tendency to be very crumbly.
§ It will turn into granola quite easily!
Cooking with oat flour will provide a variety of good eats, tempting taste delights, and just tasty fun!

Post a CommentThe following is something I found elsewhere on the net- the last part tells how to substitute at least partial oat flour for wheat flour in bread. Hope this helps.
Oat Flour - You can make it yourself by grinding rolled oats in a food processor or blender. Oat flour adds lovely flavor to breads and because of certain natural preservative in the oats themselves, it improves their shelf life. Oats contain no gluten, which is needed for bread to rise, so it must be mixed with a gluten-containing flour such as wheat. Substitute 1 of every 5 parts of wheat flour with oat flour. If your recipe is for a quick bread, no addition of other flours is necessary.
I'm a looking for the same thing, did you find a recipe?
I am a Weight Watcher, and on their Core program which limits breads. I'd like to try making oat flour(for oatmeal is allowed and encouraged for it's nutritious properties. Does anyone have an oat flour bread recipe-perhaps made with eggs or eggwhites, no fat or little fat--and applesauce for moistness?
Thank you.
