If you’ve never baked with oat flour before, don’t worry—it’s incredibly easy to make at home, and I’m going to show you how!

Why Use Oat Flour?

Oat flour is a fantastic alternative to traditional all-purpose flour, and it’s incredibly simple to make. All you need to do is grind rolled oats in a blender or food processor until you achieve a fine, flour-like consistency. That’s it! Not only is it budget-friendly, but it also adds a good source of whole grains and fiber to your baked goods, making these donuts a more nourishing treat.

How to Make Chocolate Glazed Donuts with Oat Flour

• Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease your donut pan with a light coating of oil and flour to prevent sticking.
• Mix the donut batter – In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract.  
• Fill the donut molds – Pour the batter evenly into the donut pan.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Cool before glazing – Let the donuts sit in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the chocolate glaze – Whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk until smooth.
• Dip and enjoy! Dunk each donut into the glaze, letting any excess drip off, then place back on the wire rack to set. Add sprinkles if desired.
