CAN I MAKE OAT FLOUR BY FOOD PROCESSING OATMEAL?
I live in a small town and the biggest store around me is over an hour away. I don't use oat flour but I found a recipe that calls for it and I was wondering if I process oats in the food processor can I use that to replace oat flour? If not what could I use?

Steel cut oats can be blended into flour.
Rolled, quick-cooking, and instant oats, on the other hand, have been steamed and/or toasted at one point or another, so they may not give you the results you expect. They'll still blend nicely and make a fine addition to loafs, just not as a replacement for oat flour.
A coffee grinder might do a better job, though in smaller batches.
