Most of these items can be found either in the bulk section or the baking section of your local grocery store.

How to Make Gluten Free Flour
- Place all the ingredients together in a gallon size zippered plastic bag or an airtight container.

- 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.

Sue says
I grind my own oat flour all the time. We use one of those coffee bean grinders and it works real well and real fast!
Leigh Anne says
Glad to know that works so well. Thanks!
Denise says
Thanks for the share. I would like to correct one statement. In the midwest, I have to drive a bit out of my way to find a grocery store that stocks the ingredients. I do so because my daughter has celiac, but it is one of my biggest gripes. I have to drive an hour…and that is one way. So we have a trip once a month to stock the necessary ingredients to get through the month.
Leigh Anne says
Have you looked into ordering online from Bob’s Red Mill or Amazon?
Abigail says
Amazon is the best place to get gluten free flours. Use subscribe and save!
Heidi says
I’ve never seen a GF flour mix with coconut flour! I”ll have to try this for sure. I usually grind my own flours. I wonder how I would do coconut. I might just have to buy that one! 🙂
Leigh Anne says
I think buying it might be easier!
Anne says
I am new to GF and wonder if you can replace the white rice flour with brown rice flour. Anyone have any feed back?
Leigh Anne says
I have not done it but it is definitely worth trying.
Anne says
Also, if I can not find specifically GF Oat flour, I can just grind up GF old fashion oats… Same thing right? Thanks for your help.
Cydne says
Anne,
Another well-known gluten-free flour recipe does use brown rice instead of white, so is probably fine. Grinding your oats should also be fine.
Becky says
I’m also new to GF cooking and found this website http://glutenfreegirl.com/how-to-make-a-gluten-free-all-purpose-flour-mix/ that helps with that question. White rice flour is a starch and brown rice flour is a whole grain flour so they wouldn’t switch out easily.
Leigh Anne for this recipe I’m excite to try it.
Leigh Anne says
Becky Thanks so much for the info – there is so much to learn in this gluten free world!!
Tara says
Brown and White Rice flour are always interchangeable.
Amanda says
I’m not gluten free, but I’ll pin this to keep it on hand for friends who are.
