No. 2 : Kitchen Scoop
*Did you know that you could use oats as a flour substitute when gluten free baking? Just use your blender or food processor to buzz them into a fine powder, the same texture as wheat flour. Oat Flour is not one for one with All Purpose flour, but a super sub when using a gluten free recipe. Love a crunchy crust? Whiz the oats in the food processor. Like a smoother crust? Use a high speed blender.
No. 3 : Clever Idea
Compared to a “regular” pizza this oatmeal-crusted pizza is a nutritional powerhouse. Plus it tastes great! In just one-third cup, whole-grain oat flour has 7 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber In addition, oat flour offers a little more iron and calcium than even whole wheat flour – refined wheat flour only trace amounts of minerals.
