I don’t like to cook or eat with white flour, so I’m wondering if I can substitute oat flour in your recipes where it says white flour? – Kelly M Oak Ridge, TN

Hi Kelly!

Unfortunately, you can’t subsitute oat flour in my recipes or anyone’s with 100% success.  There isn’t nearly as much gluten in oat flour (since it’s just ground oats) as traditional flour.  Many things will fall apart.  I’ve had a lot of success with pancakes and some muffins, but many things don’t work.  I would personally use oat flour all the time if it did!

Hope this helps!
