Making oatmeal at home is very easy and you will only need one ingredient, regular rolled oats. It is advisable to resort to traditional oatmeal rather than snapshot because the texture of the flour obtained will be different and, depending on what we want to make with it, the latter will not serve us in the same way. It is important to note that oats are not completely gluten-free, as they contain a small amount of one of the gluten proteins, avenin.

As for the tools to spray it, the ideal is to have a high power blender for its ease of use, efficiency and comfort. But, failing that, you can use any food processor, such as a mixer or chopper, although the process will be a little slower and the result will be a not so fine flour. As a last option, it is possible to use a coffee grinder, as long as we want to make a small amount of flour, as it is a much slower and tiring process than the previous ones.

Once we have the oat flakes and the utensil that we are going to use, we can start preparing our homemade flour. You must stipulate the amount based on your needs. If you are going to need a kilo of flour, for example, it is best to go little by little if you don’t have a blender. Thus, put the flakes in the blender container and pulverize them for approximately two minutes at maximum power.

If you’re using a mixer, add the rolled oats in a high-rimmed container, put the mixer in, and cover the top with plastic wrap to prevent the flour from jumping and staining you. Later, beat at medium-high speed until it is as fine as possible. This process takes a bit longer and the texture may not be as fine as you’d like, but the result is fine anyway. In case of using another processor such as a mincer, it will be much easier because you will not have to cover it with paper.
