Ingredients Needed
Most of these items can be found either in the bulk section or the baking section of your local grocery store.
- Coconut Flour

- Tapioca Flour, this is the same thing as tapioca starch

How to Make Gluten Free Flour
- Place all the ingredients together in a gallon size zippered plastic bag or an airtight container.
- Mix well.
- It is then ready to use when you are ready to bake some gluten free goodness!
You can replace your all purpose flour with gluten free flour cup for cup in baked goods. I have used it in cookies, cakes, muffins, brownies, biscuits, pancakes, scones, etc. It makes gluten free baking so easy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Will Gluten Free Flour Last?
When stored in an air tight container, it will last for 3-5 months. It can also be frozen and it will last for up to a year.
Can I substitute or eliminate one of the flours if I am allergic?
If you can’t have one of the flours, just use equal amounts of the other ones to replace it. It may effect the taste a bit but should work fine.

Me, I’m allergic to latex also and they say i should avoid tapioca cuz it is related to the rubber plant. I’ve never had a reaction (I think) but I guess I should not chance it. So I’m thinking I should get some potato flour instead.
Leigh Anne says
Give it a try and let me know how it works.
Patti says
Just a caution…you can buy potato flour and potato starch and they are NOT the same thing. To use a substitute for tapioca flour, you would want to use potato STARCH, NOT potato flour.
tara says
Maybe I missed this above, but is there a replacement for rice flour? I would love to use this mix but can’t have rice of wheat.
Thanks!
Leigh Anne says
I have only worked with the mix as is but you can try using more of one of the other flours that you can have and see how it works.
Dominique says
I know I’m late to this conversation, but I find that switching from white rice flour to sorghum is a terrific change. I think it’s tastier and healthier than the starchier rice and the baked items seem to last a little longer before going stale. It’s not as easy for me to find, but I stock up on it when I find it.

Hi Leigh Anne,
I had a question for you. You said your daughter has a wheat intolerance and not a gluten intolerance and that you got her tested at a naturopath. I have has issues for years that I believe are being caused by a gluten intolerance or maybe even a dairy intolerance. I am day 6 into a gluten free trial to find out if it helps me and my sympotoms. I was tested for celiac and that was negative. What type of testing does a naturopath do to find out intolerances? I am thinking it is time to get tested, if they can to tell me what I should or shouldn’t eat. Thanks!

Lisa, Two of my children have gone to a naturopath for food sensitivity testing and had great success. I have also referred several friends who have had it done and it has helped immensely. I do not know what the testing is called, sorry! We spent 1,000 of dollars with traditional medicine and various tests, upper GI’s etc. and nothing helped until the food sensitivity testing with the naturopath. Our naturopath is Dr. Andrew Kim in Portland, Oregon.
Lisa says
Thank you. I am going to have to look into it more. My mom lives in Newport and if I were going to visit her I would make an appointment with your guy. But unfortunately we are living in Germany (military). I will try to see if I can find one over here and if not when we get back to the states, it will be the first thing we do. Love the blog and I am glad I found it!
Mar says
Thanks for the gluten free posts, my young daughter is gluten free and it has been a chore finding things she will eat. 🙂
Janet says
I’m just wondering if you think I could substitute more tapioca starch in place of the corn starch, as I am so sensitive to corn.
Leigh Anne says
Janet, I am not sure about that – have never tried it.
