The Quaker website gives easy instructions for making your own oat flour:

"Place one or more cups of Quick or Old Fashioned Quaker Oats into a food processor or blender. Process for 1 minute, or until the oats are the consistency of cornmeal or a course flour. Store unused (dry) oat flour in a covered container as you would wheat flour."
