Oatmeal is a great grain to learn to use in cooking. It is almost completely gluten free and has been shown to help lower cholesterol. Making your own homemade oat flour biscuits is easy and these are a great addition to any home cooked breakfast. Top them with a bit of butter and jam and you have a hearty biscuit to go with your eggs and sausage! They don’t rise as much as a regular biscuits because of the lack of gluten but they are fairly tender with an almost nutty flavor. Grinding your own oatmeal into oat flour is easy and relatively inexpensive. Skip the pricey gourmet oat flour and buy oats in bulk to grind yourself.
The key to these biscuits is overnight soaking in buttermilk. It enriches the flavor and texture of the biscuits and helps release the grain’s natural nutrients and makes it more digestible. You can soak either on the counter or in the fridge but let the batter come to room temperature before finishing the biscuits.

I am going to try these. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.
These seemed a bit doughy to me when cooked at 350. I baked 3 of them and froze the rest. I plan to bake the rest at 400.
