They look great! I couldn't believe my eyes when your tortillas puffed up! Great video! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Awww thank you so much! 😊 Really glad to hear this, made my day

Do we have to cook it on the stove? Top tons of people said that you can’t make them without the xanthan gum

I'm prone to high blood pressure and so have been trying to limit sodium intake; no easy task with so many foods containing ridiculous amounts of salt. Making my own bread will eliminate one more source of salt. Thanks for your video.

I tried the recipe of the tortillas yesterday for today's lunch and MAAAMM thank you soo much ❤❤ the bread turned out amazing I added some ginger to the dough so that I don't feel the strong taste of my oats flour and it did great make sure to cover your dough with towels one under them and the other one on top so that it doesn't dry whenever you cook one you cover it once yoi finish put them in a plastic bag and put them in the fridge, I used them today they were perfect they didn't get hard stayed just like the minute I cooked them .. thank you so muchhh that's my new low calories fav bread

I really love your version using the press. I didn't think about using the press. Makes it easier for me. Thanks.

Hi sweetie! Yes, the press makes the process much easier and quicker than using a cutting board. But sometimes you have to make the best use of what you have at the moment. Hope you are well Annette!

Dumb Question, but may I use OAT FLOUR instead , that I have on hand? Also, how long to leave covered in bowl in the rolled ball before rolling out?

[@ishaninigam7132]

First up, its not dumb at all! Secondly, yes you can use oat flour because she is making oat flour from scratch..that is from rolled oats. Thirdly, i think anytime above 15 minutes is good.

[@marilynsummit1764]

I was about to say she is grinding oats to make oat flour.

Hi Lilia! Thanks for sharing your recipe. Tortillas look so appetising ♥️ What other flour would you suggest to choose for baking such tortillas using same baking method. Thanks 🌹

[@CookingwithLilia]

@NikolAckerman 👋Hi Nikol! It's my pleasure😃 to share and thank you for stopping by. So far I have only tried oatmeal and corn flour. The method to prepare either or is very similar. However with corn flour you would not want to cook the flour over the stovetop like I did with the oat flour. But instead in a mixing bowl add the warm/hot water to the corn flour and let it soak up for about 5 minutes before mixing. Then let the dough rest for about 10 minutes. Other then that, the following steps are exactly the same😊👩🏻‍🍳

Hello 👋🏻 can these be frozen? Will I have to cook then freeze? Also can I make burritos with them and freeze those, will the texture be fine?

[@cbzombiequeen58]

Did you use a dry measuring cup for the oats and a WET MEASUREMENT CUP FOR THE WATER? Is there any way to use steel-cut oats instead of processed ones? I love the idea you didn't use oil.

[@GraphicDesignerOC]

You should be able to start from regular oats and then blend them till they are smooth like flour. Good luck!

[@CookingwithLilia]

Hey buddy, for this recipe you will need "old-fashion oats" which have been rolled out and easier to blend. I personally haven't used "steel-cut oats" to prepare this specific recipe. You could try to blend them and hope it doesn't ruin your blender (I don't suggest though). As for the measuring cup, I used the same. Measured the dry ingredients first, then the wet. Hope this helps and I apologize for the delay, just now returning.

[@CookingwithLilia]

@ManuelSuazo 🤣🙈 Hello Manuel!👋 Thanks for the laugh and wouldn't have thought of adding some of the birria oil, so great thinking! Did it work out though? Because the texture is less sturdy than corn tortillas. I would have loved to have seen pictures of your masterpiece and such a bummer KZbin doesn't have that option. Hope you are well though😊

How long should I let the dough rest for?

[@zainabalshamaa1870]

Till it cools down

[@CookingwithLilia]

Hi Lydia, just until the dough cools down a bit and is easier to manage. This dough tends to be a sticky one. I would say 15 mins should be enough to cool down. Hope this helps!

How much oats flour to water plz?

[@alwaabdrashid8644]

Hi. What if I don't have the press?

[@ny_thep]

These are closer to corn or wheat flour tortillas?

[@CookingwithLilia]

Hey buddy! This recipe is closer to a corn tortilla in texture (rough, not smooth once cooked) and have some flexibility as that of a wheat tortilla. But the overall result is unique in that it has much more moisture (than corn & wheat) and more fragile. Hope this helps

[@ny_thep]

@@CookingwithLilia pues a ver que tl

[@stellasrvadventures483]

Did you put any oil in the pan or did you just do it without it?

[@CookingwithLilia]

Hello! I did not oil my cast iron pan, just pre-heated. Make sure to not skip the pre-heating or your tortillas will stick and overcook. Hope this helps and I apologize for the delay in responding. Just now returing

[@kathleendolan1842]

the video was awesome. I tried them but, they came out nothing like yours. No matter how thin or thick I made them they tasted under cooked. Did you use oil or spray in the pan? I really love the healthy version and would like to get it right. Also how long did you let the dough rest for?

[@eggyboi1217]

Could try lightly toasting your oat flour in a dry pan?

[@CookingwithLilia]

@Eggyboi you know I never thought of that but it would probably enhance the flavor profile. Iam thinking maybe toast the whole oats first then passing it through the blender or you will end up with oat flour dust everywhere. Would be interested to hear if you try toasting this

[@user-hl1ct3yh1r]

How can I store for later use?

[@CookingwithLilia]

@PricilaC 👋Hi Pricila! You have two options: 1.) Refrigerate the dough in a zip lock bag and prepare fresh day of. OR.... 2.) Cook the tortillas and once cooled. Wrap them in paper nakins and in a zip lock bag. This method will last you 3 days in the fridge. Reheat in a medium-high temp skillet 2 mins per side. Hope you enjoy this recipe👩🏻‍🍳😊

[@bella8691]

Does it taste like regular tortillas?

[@CookingwithLilia]

@Bella 👋Hello Bella! I would say it has a very similar taste and texture but not identical. Given the sticky consistency of the oat dough, the oatmeal tortillas can't be pressed out as flat. As corn or flour tortillas so they are a bit thicker. Give the recipe a try though and let me know your honest opinion😊👩🏻‍🍳

[@annemarieali]

Fantastic!

[@jjwashington9018]

I know you are trying to make a healthy version, but what if you added butter or manteca, have yiu tried this and how where they if you did?

[@CookingwithLilia]

Hi JJ😊 I haven't tried this recipe using oil, so I couldn't say firm results. However, the dough is much stickier compared to corn or flour tortilla dough. So you could use butter or lard when shaping the tortillas into balls, it would make the process much easier to handle. Hope this helps!

[@attouovanessamoh2884]

God Bless you.

[@maxinelinley1450]

How much oats and water

[@dr.dialtone8840]

! cup of water, 1 cup of oats and a 1/2 a teaspoon of salt.

Hi Lilia, My oat tortillas are NOT soft and pliable and they crack when I cook them. What am I doing wrong?

[@elisa6212]

What will the amount of the oatmeal be after pulsing and sifting? I have oatmeal flour, so that would be skipping a looong step.

[@CookingwithLilia]

Hi @Elisa - in your case, use 1 1/4 cups. Store bought oatmeal flour is much finer and will absorb water much quicker. Hope this helps and I apologize for the delay, just now returning!

Is that oat flour raise your blood sugar or no thank you

[@hawtnsweet]

Hmmm...trying to get rid of some plain corn flour (not masa corn flour). I'll try mixing 1:1 with oat flour, making a half done fufu out of the mix on the stove stop (I'mAfrican so that part makes total sense to me), and then I'll skip the usual steaming in the second part, leave it to cool and use the dough I get from that for the tortillas. If it turns out right I'll come back here and let y'all know. TFS.
