Baking with oat flour

If you haven’t baked with oat flour before, it’s pretty simple! It replaces regular flour in baked goods but, it is not a 1:1 replacement. So you have to be mindful when it comes to new recipes! Oat flour is much lighter in weight than traditional flour. So, you typically have to use more oat flour than regular flour if you’re replacing it in a recipe.

As for the baking results with oat flour, it produces really nicely textured baked goods. Another added benefit of oats is that they are loaded with whole grains, fiber and complex carbs!

Frequently asked questions

Can I substitute another time of flour?

Definitely use a finely ground oat flour! Other flours should not be substituted as they have different weights and consistency.

What type of oat flour can I use?

Use store bought oat flour. This oat flour is great! It’s a large 4 pound bag for a great price. This will ensure the cookies have a nice texture. You can also try to make your own oat flour by blending oats in a high speed blender.

Are these cookies gluten free?

Make sure you use certified gluten free oat flour as some oats can have possible cross contamination with wheat products. This oat flour is naturally gluten free.

Do I need to chill the dough?

Yes, please chill the dough/ If you don’t chill the dough the cookies will spread way too thin. These cookies do result in thinner, crispy cookies so chilling them is a must!

Are these cookies crispy?

Yes, these cookies have a nice crispy edges and chewy middles!

How to make oat flour?

Making oat flour is super easy! Grab your oats and a high speed blender. Add the oats into the blender and pulse/blend until very smooth. You want to make sure it resembles a flour-like texture when it’s done. This will ensure your baked goods have great results! Grainy oat flour can result in bad textured baked goods.

Healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

These cookies are chewy with nutty and toasty notes of almond butter. I use to be a peanut butter or nothing type of girl but almond butter is really growing on me! I love how it can be used to replace butter and different types of oil in baked goods.

In addition to almond butter, these cookies are loaded with chocolate chips. I personally love using enjoy life dairy free chocolate chips. But feel free to use any chocolate chips you prefer. You can also add in walnuts to give these cookies a crunch but feel free to use other mix in’s like nuts and raisins.

What kind of almond butter can I use?

For this recipe I used a natural almond butter! Natural almond butter tends to be very oily and can have a layer of oil on top when you first open the jar. Make sure you stir to give it a really good stir before using! You can also use other types of nut butter for this recipe like peanut butter or even sunflower seed butter.
