How To Make Ground Oats

Making ground oats at home is super easy and only takes a minute:

Add oats to a blender or food processor – Use rolled oats or porridge oats.
Blend or pulse until the oats turn into a fine flour-like consistency.
Store in an airtight container if you’re making a big batch, or use straight away in your recipe.

Tips

Blend your oats finely: This gives the cookies a smoother texture.
Taste the dough before shaping: You can adjust sweetness with a touch more honey or syrup.
Add salt: A tiny pinch of sea salt enhances the chocolate and peanut flavour.

Swaps

Oats: Use gluten-free oats if needed.
Peanut butter: Any nut or seed butter will work—almond, cashew, sunflower seed butter.
Honey: Swap for maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
Coconut oil: You can use unsalted butter instead, but the texture may be slightly different.

Storage

Freezer: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Let sit for a few minutes at room temperature before eating if preferred slightly softer.
