How to Make Gluten Free Flour

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.

I am really interested that you use oat flour in your Gluten Free mix. I thought Oats has gluten? Please advise.
Leigh Anne says
Oats are naturally gluten free – the problem can be in cross contamination in the factory where they are processed.
Heidi Fluegel says
Not always true. If oats are grown next to a field of wheat or barley, they can also be contaminated with gluten. It is best to make sure you buy an oat flour that is certified gluten free. That also means that the oats were not grown near any wheat/barley also.
Pam Way says
My mother has celiac and oats are included in her do Not eat list. However, Bob’s Red Mill makes both gluten-free oats and regular oats. She has not had a problem using BRM gluten-free oats.
Cristy Henderson says
I am so glad to have found your page. My 12 year old son’s allergies are all dietary: no dairy, no wheat and no gluten. He feels as though he has been sentence a life of tasteless food. I am bound to prove him wrong. We are enjoying our journey learning together as a family in the kitchen. I can’t wait to try your recipes. Also can coconut flour be substituted? that is another allergen.
Leigh Anne says
Cristy, Learning to live with food allergies is definitely a process. I have only used the mix as the recipe is written so not sure about substitutes. I might try just using more of the other flours to replace the coconut flour.
Nicole says
Cristy,
Did you ever find a replacement for the coconut flour in this flour mix? We have wheat and nut allergies in this house (including coconuts and seeds). So, any help would be appreciated. Just found out about wheat and some dairy intolerances so I’m trying to make adjustments especially since the holidays are coming.
Leigh Anne says
I use the recipe as it is written If you can’t use coconut flour you may just want to increase the amounts of the other flours to make up the difference and see how that works.
Suzanne Bartlett says
Thank you for this flour recipe. Have been diagnosed gluten, dairy and egg intolerant and it has been a real learning curve to cook. I have had the craving for Blueberry Muffins and this will be the first thing I try with your flour.
Thank you.
Carla says
Hi Anne!
Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I would like to know if I can use rice flour brown instead rice flour white?
Thank you so much!
Blessings,
Leigh Anne says
I haven’t tried brown rice flour but I would think it would work fine.
Karen says
If a large amount of the gluten free flour mixture is prepared, what is the recommended storage method. Does it need to be refrigerated?
Leigh Anne says
I store it in an airtight container and do not refrigerate it.
