It's so easy, I'm letting my 5 year old daughter make it.
First we wanted to see how the food processor did with grinding it into a soft meal.
It did okay, but it wasn't as fine as I like it.
So I brought out the Magic Bullet and
we zipped 1 cup of oats
which turned into 3/4 cup oat flour.
We keep it in an old yogurt container in the fridge, just because I keep all my flours in the fridge.
Have you tried grinding your own oat flour? It can save you a ton of money. Maybe not as much of a timesaver as buying it from the store, but it's cheaper and we always have oatmeal in the pantry. These smaller canisters are regularly on sale with a coupon for $.50.
This works for me!
Enjoy!

Wow! You are awesome! I never thought to do that!
I add oats to a lot of things but don't usually grind it. I'd love one of those magic bullets! Sounds like a great idea!
What a great idea, we have been wanting to make some oatmeal pancakes, and this looks like a cheap and easy way to make them. thanks for the tip!!!
I make oat flour in my coffee grinder (no Magic Bullet). Beyond baking, I use it in place of bread crumbs for meatballs (1/4 c oat flour, 2 Tbsp water, 1 lb meat) -- does not change taste and adds a bit of fiber.
Neat idea, I hardly ever use oat flour, but i know what to do now. I do grind my own almond flour, because yikes that stuff is expensive!!
I have never used oat flour. What do you make with oat flour? Great tip. I imagine I could use my food processor.
We also grind our other flours - I love the flavor of fresh ground wheat! Yummy!
love it! We do this too :)
