* Note – For DYI oat flour, place rolled oats into a blender and blend until a flour consistency.
*Note – For DYI pumpkin puree, pre-heat oven to 400F, cut pumpkin in half, scoop out seeds and pulp, place face down on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake until soft, 45-60 minutes, depending on size of pumpkin. Let cool then place in blender and puree. Other types of winter squash can replace pumpkin in pureed recipes as well.
