1:1 by weightOat flour is low in protein and gluten-free, which limits its ability to provide structure. It contributes a subtle oat flavor and soft crumb but can cause the cheesecake to be more fragile.

The cheesecake will be softer and possibly denser, with a distinct oat flavor, making it suitable for those seeking a gluten-free, mildly sweet alternative.
