Can anyone tell me what I can use as a substitute for oat flour? I am keen to try the bread recipe which has oat flour and gluten flour, but oat flour is not available in NZ.

what about nut flours. i've never cooked with them, but i've seen them in lots of recipes. you could grind the nuts in your food processor. or maybe flaxseed. grind it in the processor. doreen really sings the praises of flax seed and in one of the threads she has a link to the flax council of canada. i've been meaning to buy some flax.

Thumbs up oat flour

Hi evkay, welcome to our forum.

You can make your own oat flour by whirling oatmeal / oat flakes / porridge oats in the blender or food processor. Just don't use the instant type - the oats you have to cook are what you want. Same with nut flours -- buy raw (not roasted) nuts - almonds and hazelnuts (filberts) work well.

Expect the nut flours especially to be coarser than stone ground wheat flour. Over-grinding can cause you to end up with nut BUTTER instead!! ..

Good luck,
Doreen

Red face and FURTHERMORE....

That Doreen, beats me to the punch everytime <grin>! and now Debbie, too. Sheesh.

Besides the excellent suggestions already put forth (and yes, the flaxseed meal works great, my favourite substitution, and grinding fresh flaxseed or linseed in a coffee mill works like a hot dang), I've used wholegrain Rye flour and/or just made the whole thing with all vital gluten and/or a half 'n' half mix of plain wheat bran and oat bran... pretty well anything will work, the texture will change though. The oat flour recipe makes the 'softest' bread.

Enjoy!

Thanks IslandGirl for the great ideas. I can't tell you how much I have gained from this web site! I was beginning to think I was alone in the world (sob, sob). I have been inspired by you all and thank you, Doreen T and Debbie for your suggestions.
