oat flour

Milled grain powder

Oat flour is flour made from ground oats, used in baking for its slightly sweet, nutty flavor and dense texture.

It lacks gluten-forming proteins found in wheat flour, so recipes often combine it with other flours for structure: I substituted half the wheat flour with oat flour for a heartier muffin.
