Why You Will Love This Recipe!
Having a gluten free child has been a bit of an adventure. There is definitely a learning curve involved and a whole new world of ingredients that I never knew existed before!
This recipe was shared with me by a gluten free friend. She said you could use it to replace flour in any recipe and you wouldn’t know you were eating gluten free. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical because I had yet to find any gluten free flour blend that when used didn’t have a different taste or different texture.
Well, she was right! This flour mix is amazing. I used it to make my new Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie and aside from a very, very small texture issue that I am probably the only one that noticed, the cookies were delicious. In fact, I had a hard time keeping the other family members away from the cookies so that Cali could get some. They kept asking, “are these really gluten free??”
Ingredients Needed
- Coconut flour
- Rice flour. Could substitute brown rice flour
- Gluten free oat flour. Not all oat flour is gluten free.
- Tapioca flour. This is the same thing as tapioca starch.
- Cornstarch
- Xanthan gum
Where To Find Gluten Free Ingredients
Most of these items can be found either in the bulk section or the baking section of your local grocery store. Depending on where you live you may have to visit a health food store to find some of them or order through Amazon.  Bob’s Red Mill is one of my favorite brands.
How to Make Gluten Free Flour
- Place all the ingredients together in a gallon size zippered plastic bag or an airtight container.

How to Use Gluten Free Flour in regular recipes
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.
I’d love to hear what recipes you try the flour mix in!
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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 intend to use this as a base for making my own GF flour. My husband is wheat sensitive and I am diabetic, so we are a joy to cook for! I need something with fewer high glycemic carbohydrates than found in the usual gluten free flour blends. I am thinking that replacing some or all of the rice flour with almond flour might work.
Also, I saw a comment about xantham gum. I have found a couple of recipes that use Psyllium husk powder as the binder. If this all works out, I will let you know. Silence means either it didn’t go so well or I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Hannah says
What if you have an oat allergy? Is there a flour you can sub out for the oat flour?
Leigh Anne says
You could try just adding more of the other flours to replace the oat flour
Shawna Cragun says
I would love to try this for my daughter whom we have discovered has an allergy to wheat, barley, Rye and peanuts. My one question is that would it be okay to make this mixture without the Oat flour? She did test positive for oats as well so I do not want to even chance Oat flour
Leigh Anne says
Shawna, You can substitute the oat flour for more of the other flours.
