2-Ingredient Oat Tortillas

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I really enjoy this recipe because it requires only two simple ingredients, yet delivers tortillas that taste fresh and wholesome. I like grinding my own oats into flour because it gives me full control over the texture, and I don’t need any fancy store-bought products. These tortillas are naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan, which makes them a great option when I want something lighter. I also love how adaptable they are—I can make them plain for everyday wraps, or season them with spices and herbs when I want more flavor.

Ingredients

Oats (gluten-free if needed)
Water
Salt (optional)

Directions

I start by blending my oats into a fine flour using a high-speed blender.
In a non-stick pan, I bring the water and salt (if I’m using it) to a boil.
I sift the oat flour into the boiling water, stirring constantly until the dough thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Once the dough cools enough to handle, I lightly oil my hands, roll it into a log, and divide it into 8–9 pieces.
I shape each piece into a ball, keeping the rest covered to prevent drying out.
Using parchment paper, I flatten each ball into a thin tortilla with a cutting board or skillet.
One at a time, I cook the tortillas in a hot skillet (no oil) until they develop brown spots on both sides.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 5 medium tortillas.

Variations

I like to play with different flavors depending on what I’m making. For a spicy version, I mix chili powder or cayenne into the dough. If I want a cheesy touch, I add nutritional yeast. Fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, basil, or oregano make them aromatic and perfect for Mediterranean wraps. When I’m craving something sweet, I stir in a bit of coconut sugar with cinnamon or nutmeg. Seeds like sesame or poppy also give the tortillas a nice crunch.

storage/reheating

I usually keep my tortillas in the fridge, lined with parchment paper between each one, stored in an airtight container for 4–5 days. If I want to make a big batch, I freeze them with parchment between layers for up to 3–4 months. To reheat, I warm them in a skillet for under a minute on each side, or in the microwave for about 20–30 seconds. When reheating several, I wrap them in foil and place them in the oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes.

FAQs

Can I use steel-cut oats for this recipe?

I don’t recommend it. They don’t grind as smoothly and can make the tortillas gritty and harder to cook.

Do I need to cook the dough first?

Yes, cooking the oat flour in boiling water helps the tortillas form a pliable dough. Skipping this step often makes them fall apart.

Are these tortillas pliable enough for wraps?

Yes, especially when warm. I sometimes add a spoon of olive oil to make them even more flexible if I want to fold them into burritos.

How do I keep the tortillas from sticking?

I press them between parchment paper before cooking. I also make sure my skillet is hot enough so the tortillas release easily.

Are oat tortillas healthy?

I like them because they’re made with whole oats, providing fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Unlike store-bought wraps, mine have no preservatives or added oils.

Conclusion

I love how these 2-ingredient oat tortillas prove that simple cooking can still be satisfying and versatile. With just oats and water, I get a stack of gluten-free, vegan wraps that I can use for savory or sweet meals. Whether I’m preparing tacos, burritos, or a quick wrap for lunch, these tortillas always come through—healthy, soft, and homemade.
