Swapped regular flour for oat flour in muffins and got a happy surprise
Lately, I've noticed a lot of friends trying oat flour in their bakes. I gave it a shot with blueberry muffins last week. They came out super moist and didn't crumble like my past gluten-free attempts. My old fail was using almond flour without enough binder, so things fell apart. The key is to add a bit more milk or yogurt since oat flour soaks up liquid. Anyone else playing with different flours these days?
Yeah, that extra liquid tip is key for oat flour, otherwise you get a dry brick. I learned to add a teaspoon of xanthan gum as a binder too, holds everything together like a charm. Works way better than my old almond flour disasters lol.
Seriously, oat flour is the only healthy swap that doesn't taste like punishment. My last batch of muffins actually tricked my kids into eating breakfast.
