Being dairy-free doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite foods. Because I have to follow a low-fat diet, in addition to being gluten dairy-free, I am always looking to make my favorite recipes to meet these requirements.
There are a lot of vegan Parmesan cheese recipes out there and most of them contain nuts or seeds. I am not allergic to nuts or seeds, but they are very high in fat. So, that left me with a challenge to find a nut substitute for this recipe. What’s the secret ingredient? Oat Flour! It’s low in fat and just as tasty as the nut versions. For this recipe I used oat flour that I ground in my food processor from quick oats.
Nut-Free Vegan Parmesan Cheese
3/4 cup oat flour
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
Combine all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend 30 seconds to combine well. Store in air tight container.

I am going to send this to my SIL who is also gluten/dairy free. Great idea!
