Default Oat Flour

Hi you two!

Good research Nicola. Sounds like you are finding everything you need.

I just wanted to let you know that oat flour is beautiful to use. It creates a special texture in baked goods. Adding just a little makes quite a difference in tastiness.

So the good news is that you can make oat flour by grinding dry oat flakes (rolled oats, oatmeal) in your blender. It's very easy. Just add about one cup of oats and pulse the blender until it is powdered. It doesn't even have to be a uniform texture for most things, but if you are fussy, sift it.

Oat bran still is quite chunky and probably much more expensive.

I have experimented a lot with bread recipes. In a couple of days I am going to post my "Final" Bread Recipe. No low-carb bread tastes just like fresh-baked homemade bread (in my opinion they all taste more like eating a sea sponge) but this is really good toasted.
