Among one of the top food trends as predicted by Whole Foods Market to continue for 2020 is alternative flours – think flours made from vegetables, beans, and in this case, oats! While food trends often come and go, ingredients like oats will always be a classic pantry ingredient and I personally think that oat flour is here to stay. Still have questions about what it is? This reference is for you!

Oat flour is exactly what it sounds like: a 100% whole-grain flour that’s made with just one ingredient – oats! While you can use any variety of Quaker oats, I’ve found that old fashioned and quick oats blend up the best.
