Ken, oat fiber makes a pretty good roux. That's what I've been using for some time now. Occasionally, when I feel indulgent, I'll add 1 T. Einkorn flour to the oat fiber for an even deeper browned-flour taste. Then if further thickening is needed I dust a smidge of xanthan gum or glucomannan powder into the soup/gumbo. Be sure and try the oat fiber some time. I think you'll find it is quite nice.
