Recipe Notes

*you can make your own oat flour by placing rolled oats or quick oats in a food processor. Pulse until it is smooth with no oat pieces.

*if you aren't gluten free, feel free to substitute regular all-purpose flour for this recipe.

Feel free to get creative and add some walnuts, cranberries, or pecans to the batter before baking.
