Notes
*This is not my original recipe, but a blend shared with me by a friend and I’ve been using it and loving it ever since!
*Whisk flours together in a large mixing bowl and store in an air-tight container in a dry place (I use a large mason jar).
*Gluten-free flours can be tricky because they react differently in pretty much every recipe. With that in mind, use this blend in place of all-purpose or whole wheat flour.
TIP: I have found that substituting gluten-free flour in place of all-purpose flour in a 1:1 ratio doesn’t always yield the best results. Because of this, I recommend substituting in other ingredients, such as almond meal, oat flour, and/or rolled oats, in addition to the gluten-free blend to create a more desirable texture.
EXAMPLE: If a recipe calls for 1 cup (136 g) all-purpose flour, I generally substitute ½ cup gluten-free flour blend (80 g), ¼ cup almond meal (27.5 g), and ¼ cup gluten-free oat flour (23 g), depending on the recipe.
For extra binding (since gluten is not present) a pinch of xanthan gum can be added, depending on the recipe, though I don’t find it absolutely necessary.
*This blend has worked wonders for me in muffins, cakes, quick breads, cornbread, waffles, gluten-free crêpes, and more.
*This blend (as original recipe is written) yields 2 ½ cups total, or 406 grams (~40 g per ¼ cup).
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated without xanthan gum.
