    It can be tough to go gluten-free, but it's worth it if you feel better without gluten in your diet. One of the things that can be a challenge is finding good substitutes for all the flour-based products you used to enjoy. This gluten-free flour mix is a great starting point. It's easy to make, and you can use it in lots of different recipes. Keep reading for the recipe!

    Our tried and true mixture might be your answer - it's been tested a million times and always comes out great! I use it for all our gluten-free recipes that require all-purpose flour.

    This gluten-free flour blend recipe tastes great and is super easy to put together, costing significantly less than store-bought flour blends.

    This gluten-free flour mix works ideally 1 for 1 in most regular all-purpose flour recipes. It only takes 5 simple ingredients to make it and an airtight container to store it in.

    This is our go-to gluten-free flour blend for baking. Use it for making carrot cake, buttermilk cornbread, pancakes, and banana bread! Happy Gluten-Free Baking!

    🧾 Ingredients

    Gluten-Free Flour Mix ingredients
    • White rice flour
    • Certified Gluten-Free Oat flour
    • Potato starch (potato flour)
    • Cassava flour
    • Tapioca flour (tapioca starch)

    🍶 Substitutions

    Oat flour - if you have certified gluten-free rolled oats, you can simply grind them in a blender and have the oat flour to use in the recipe.

    You can also substitute for brown rice flour.

    Cassava flour - you can use sorghum flour instead.

    🧐 How to use

    Gluten-free flours can be tricky because they might react differently in some recipes since gluten is not present as it is in wheat-based flours.

    This is why we often use this blend along with other binders like our 2-ingredient vegan buttermilk, flax eggs, chia eggs, and unsweetened applesauce.

    A pinch of xanthan gum can be added for extra binding, depending on the recipe, though I don’t find it necessary.

    This blend has worked perfectly for my vegan banana bread, cornbread dressing, vegan pancakes, vegan cornbread, vegan lava cakes, and carrot loaf cake.

    You can also use it to make a Sweet Potato Crunch with Apples for your Thanksgiving table.

    We even use this gluten-free flour recipe in savory dishes like our vegan bechamel sauce.

    This blend yields 2 ¾ cups total, 412 grams.

    Note: although I use this recipe for most of my gluten-free baked goods, I still haven't tried this recipe on gluten-free bread to replace wheat flour or pizza recipes.

    Those are on my to-do list!

      Oats are always my go-to for a gluten free flour. I really love the texture of it in baking too.
