🧾 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!
