Do you miss those fluffy dinner rolls you had before adopting a whole food plant based lifestyle? I've got you covered with our easy oat dinner rolls. As always our recipes will fit your plant-based needs and can be changed to any situation where you need a roll (savory or sweet).
Oat dinner rolls take a little bit of prep time so make sure you plan ahead when trying out our recipe. I usually start these mid-day so they are warm and ready for dinner time.
I have two recipes down below - both are amazing, however the spelt version gets almost double the size of the gluten free oat rolls.

Gluten Free Oat Rolls
[Makes 8 Rolls]
2 1/2 cups (320 grams) oat flour
Tip: (pulse your rolled oats in a high speed blender to make a flour)
1/2 teaspoon (2 gram) instant or dry active yeast
1 tablespoon white miso mixed with 1/4 cup hot tap water
1 cup hot tap water (up to 130° F)
2 tbsp seasoning (I added dried chives)
1/4 cup of aquafaba [for browning - use right before baking] (optional)
Extra oat flour for kneading
Spelt-Oat Rolls
[Makes 8 Rolls]
1 1/4 cups (160 grams) oat flour
Tip: (pulse your rolled oats in a high speed blender to make a flour)
1 1/4 cups (160 grams) spelt flour
1/2 teaspoon (2 gram) instant or dry active yeast
1 tablespoon white miso mixed with 1/4 cup hot tap water
1 cup hot tap water (up to 130° F)
2 tbsp seasoning (I added dried chives)
1/4 cup of aquafaba [for browning - use right before baking] (optional)
Extra spelt flour for kneading
Directions:
[Are the same with both roll recipes]
+In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients.
+Mix in miso mixture and hot water.
+Stir all ingredients together until well combined.
+Cover with plastic wrap & let stand on counter top for 3 hours.
------------------------
+After the three hours place dough onto a WELL floured surface.
+The dough will be sticky and will need extra flour to make workable.
+Knead until dough becomes a ball and cut into 8 pieces.
+Make dinner roll shapes with dough and place on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Optional: Brush a small amount of aquafaba over rolls.
[This will give them a nice brown color]
+Bake at 450° F for 25 minutes until golden brown.
You can play around this recipe in making it even a sweet roll by swapping out the white miso for 3 tbsp of date paste.
I'm always swapping out different seasonings when making them: Italian seasoning and pizza season are a few of our favorites!
With either the spelt flour or just oat, both have a nice crispy edge and a soft bread inside.
I hope you'll give this recipe a try, and let us know if you liked it!
