Why You Will Love This Recipe
This gluten free flour mix can be used to replace flour in any recipe. And you won’t know you are eating gluten free. The taste and texture are so close to the original, none of my family members believed the cookies I made with it were gluten free.
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
- Rice Flour
- Gluten Free Oat Flour
- Tapioca Flour, this is the same thing as tapioca starch
- Cornstarch
- Xanthan Gum
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.

Thank you so much for this recipe! I’m wheat intolerant as well and so far I have hated all the gf flours I’ve tried. But this is almost like wheat flour! I love the texture of it. So far I’ve made cookies and a cake with this mix but I’m baking bread next. 🙂
Leigh Anne says
I am so glad you like it and it is working well for you. I’d love to know how the bread turns out!

Leigh Anne,
Heading out this morning to get the coconut and oat flour. I will use arrowroot in substitution for the cornstarch since I am corn intollerant.
Then I am going to make my sandwich bread, with this flour…I am excited.

I use this bread machine recipe: http://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/2010/01/gluten-free-bread-machine-bread.html, but substitute 3/4 c. Millet for 3/4 c. of the rice flour. I also add 2 Tbsp. chia seeds to give the bread a better texture. I put my bread machine on dark crust & whole wheat setting. This seems to cook the bread to a nice golden brown. I am going to try your flour recipe as a substitute for the flours in here. I’ve got my fingers crossed that it turns out yummy!

Hi there! I’ve been meaning to make this all purpose flour for some time now. We’re making pizza tonight and I was wondering if you have ever tried using the gf all purpose flour to make pizza crust? Would I use the same portions of water, yeast, etc. for this gf flour as regular flour? Thanks for a great looking recipe!
Leigh Anne says
I have not used it in pizza dough but I would love it if you would try it and let me know how it works! I would keep all the proportions the same to begin with and see how it works out – if it is too sticky I’d add some more of the flour mixture.
Please let me know if you try it!
