How to make Oat Flour | Quick and Easy DIY

So I was making my protein bars tonight and was out of oat flour and thought I'd share how I make my own.  It is super simple and tons of fun. Ok. Maybe for you it isn't tons of fun but I love using my coffee grinders and making it go ZZZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.... I actually don't know how it sounds but that's my personal interpretation. Anywho... I know before I started the Jamie Eason LiveFit program last year that I had no clue how to make it. Premade Oat Flour is not very common in my area or its pretty expensive at Whole Foods, so I figure why not make my own. So much easier and soooo cost effective. Here you go folks. Hope it helps someone! :)

How to make Oat Flour

What do you need:

• Coffee Grinder (preferably one that you haven't used to grind coffee it will taste weird)
• Oats (I usually buy mine at Whole Foods, but only had the Walmart stuff hanging around tonight)

How to:
1: Pour Oats into grinder.
2: Make sure your grinder is set to the finest of finest. I have mine at Espresso and 4 cups. I have no clue if the 4 cups actually means something but I keep it there.
3: Turn Grinder on.  Mine auto turns off when its done. I didn't know this until the other night. But if yours doesn't, then turn it off when it looks fine. And not fiiinnnneeee as in Hot Dang but a fine grain. :)
4: Then its done. You have Oat Flour. Some say their grinder leaves their flour a little grainy, but mine makes mine super fine so it just has to do with your coffee grinder.

When a recipe calls for oat flour I grind the whole oats until they equal the amount of oat flour (ground oats)  indicated in the recipe.

P.S. Please excuse my messy blinds. I refuse to buy new blinds when they were supplied by my Landlord this way and I'm stubborn. :)

P.P.S. This post is actually intended for Dave, the hubs, because he always says he doesn't know how to make it. Now you know and have a place to reference in the future. hehe..
