Oat Flour: Ounces (oz) to Grams Conversion
Oat flour is ground rolled oats with a density of 0.42 g/mL — about 20% lighter than all-purpose flour. Because it contains no gluten network, a loosely spooned cup and a tapped cup can differ by 15–20 g, making volume measurements unreliable. Always weigh oat flour for consistent texture in pancakes, quick breads, and cookies.

FAQ
- Can I substitute oat flour 1:1 for all-purpose flour?
- Not directly by volume: 1 cup oat flour weighs ~99g vs ~125g for AP. By weight, oat flour can replace 25–50% of AP flour in most quick-bread recipes; for full substitution, you need extra eggs or binders for structure.
- Is 1 cup of oat flour the same weight as 1 cup of rolled oats?
- No. 1 cup rolled oats weighs ~90g; 1 cup oat flour weighs ~99g because milling reduces air pockets. By weight they're close enough for most recipes.
