Oat flour is expensive; try running Oat Groats through your grain mill to make oat flour. Oat flour makes a rich thickener for soups, gravies and stews. Adding 25% oat flour to wheat flour in bread mixes will prevent the bread going stale because of the anti-oxidant vitamin E in the oats. Oat flour can also be added to ice cream and other dairy products as a natural preservative.  Need an Oat Roller or Grain Mill  ? Click on the blue links to see our special pricing.
