Notes
As a measure, I used UScup (240ml). For GLUTEN-FREE version use certified gluten-free oats. To make oat flour, pulse the oats in a food processor until the oats have a powdery consistency. Keeping in mind that 1 ¼ cups of rolled oats makes 1 cup of oat flour. Nutrition Facts showing calories without jam.
