Oat Flour (Without Gluten)

What is Oat flour?

Oat flour is a type of flour made by grinding whole oats into a fine powder. It is commonly used in baking and cooking as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour. Oat flour retains the nutritional benefits of oats, including fiber, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals.

Why do I have an intolerance to Oat flour?

Intolerance to oat flour may be due to sensitivity to avenin, a protein in oats, or cross-contamination with gluten during processing. Some individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity may react to oats if they are not certified gluten-free.

What can I do about it?

Avoid oat flour and products containing it if you have a known intolerance. Look for certified gluten-free oats and oat flour to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. Consider alternative gluten-free flours like almond, coconut, or rice flour.
