Havermoutmeel

Havermoutmeel, also known as oat flour, is a finely ground flour made from oats. It is created by grinding whole oats into a powder. This flour retains many of the nutritional benefits of oats, including dietary fiber, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals.

The texture of havermoutmeel can vary depending on how finely the oats are ground, but it is generally softer than whole oat groats. It has a mild, slightly nutty flavor. Havermoutmeel can be used in a variety of culinary applications, both in baking and cooking. It is often incorporated into recipes for bread, muffins, pancakes, cookies, and other baked goods. It can also be used as a thickener for sauces or as a component in porridges and other breakfast dishes.

When used in baking, havermoutmeel can contribute to a denser texture and a slightly chewier consistency compared to traditional wheat flour. It is naturally gluten-free, making it a suitable option for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, provided that certified gluten-free oats are used to avoid cross-contamination. Havermoutmeel can be purchased pre-ground or easily made at home by processing rolled oats or steel-cut oats in a blender or food processor until a fine flour is achieved.
