Gluten Free Oat And Coconut Flours

Oats are whole grains, and oat flour is made by grinding dried oats. Coconut flour is made from dried, ground coconut meat. Both are naturally gluten-free alternatives to wheat flour.

These flours are used as gluten-free substitutes for wheat flour in baked goods like cookies, biscuits, and cakes. They contribute a slightly nutty flavor and can affect texture, sometimes requiring adjustments to recipes.

Oat and coconut flours are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of dietary fiber and various nutrients. While generally considered healthy components of a balanced diet, excessive intake of any food component should be avoided. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated related compounds, but specific evaluations for these flour blends are not typically highlighted.
