Earlier this week I posted a recipe for some yummy, healthy, hearty–not to mention gluten, dairy and egg free–oat flour pumpkin muffins over at the Grain Mill Wagon blog!
I have been incredibly blessed to take on the Grain Mill Challenge via WonderMill the past few months. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting recipes I’ve made as part of the challenge.
If you are interested in bettering your family’s nutrition and in saving money by milling your own grains (especially gluten-free flours…which can be SO incredibly expensive!), then I highly recommend looking into purchasing a grain mill like the WonderMill!
Here’s an excerpt of my recipe post:
One of my favorite tastes of the holiday season is pumpkin. I know some see this vegetable as solely for fall, but I could enjoy this flavor year round. And, to me, no Thanksgiving or Christmas meal is complete without at least one pumpkin dish.
What I love best about these muffins is that not only are they nutritious, but my daughters, who both have several food sensitivities, can eat them without much fuss on my part. A pumpkin muffin that’s gluten, dairy and egg free? Yes, please!
This was my first recipe to try with the WonderMill, and I have to say: I was very impressed! I had made oat flour before using a small food processor, but the result was less than to be desired. Oh, I still used the flour, but it consisted of a grainy texture, and the processor left chunks of oats.
The WonderMill ground the oats perfectly in a matter of minutes! And, no doubt, this freshly ground flour is more nutritious (and not to mention cheaper!) than any store-bought counterparts!
Without further ado, check out this recipe for some yummy, healthy, hearty oat flour pumpkin muffins!
Hop on over to the Grain Mill Wagon to get the recipe for these oat flour pumpkin muffins!

There is something fulfilling about grinding your own flour. 🙂

Absolutely! And the oat flour is so easy….garbanzo bean is not so much…but I’m trying!

Erin, I’m so excited to have found your site! My family of 4 lives on a very tight budget and are dairy and gluten free, which can get expensive! I am intrigued by this mill as I too make my oat flour in the food processor and get little chunks (which we have gotten used to!!). Do you buy certified gluten free oats? If so, where? I cannot find anything cheaper than trader joe’s at 1.99/lb and was wondering if you’ve found any! Also, you you found/used dairy-alternative cheese or not (it’s pricey as I’m sure you know)?

Hi Kaely! I really love the mill! Since I have been reviewing it, I didn’t have to pay for it, but it was on my long list of appliances to maybe possibly get one day. I think if i had been able to try it before, I would have moved it up on the list of things to save for! I can grind oat, rice, millet (a new grain to me), bean flours, etc. It’s wonderful! To be honest, we don’t have a Trader Joe’s near where we live, so I’ve only gotten Bob’s Red Mills gluten-free oats on Amazon so far. :/ I get a lot at one time, so I don’t have to order very often.
