Oats, known scientifically as Avena sativa, are among the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat. Oats are a great source of carbs and fiber and provide more protein than most grains (1). In addition, they are very high in vitamins and minerals.
Measure quick oats or rolled oats and blend them in your food processor until they are fine or until they reach the flour consistency.
Oats are naturally gluten-free; however, depending on the manufacturer, some oats may be cross-contaminated with other things, such as gluten. Make sure you select a certified gluten-free brand. If you like to shop for certified gluten-free oat flour, I like Bob's Red Mill, or you can make your own following this recipe.
