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.

Just made brownies with this flour, using my regular brownie recipe (which is not the most common recipe – uses cocoa and a lot of butter rather than chocolate) and they are excellent. Slightly nuttier flavor than when made with wheat flour, but no off flavors or textures at all.

I love this flour for cookies and such but I haven’t found it to be great with bread-type foods. I tried making bread and it was terrible, ended up throwing it all out. I made pancakes with it and didn’t realize I couldn’t substitute cup for cup, they tasted fine but looked and cooked funny. I tried banana bread this week using a GF recipe and, it didn’t rise and become fluffy at all. Again, it tasted fine, it was just pretty flat. I’m going to try a GF pancake recipe this morning using the flour and see how they turn out. No one in my family NEEDS to be gluten free but we’ve been trying it because my 2-yr old son has had various health problems for the past year and I thought this might be a cause. Going to keep trying the flour. May have to keep it just for sweet treats, though.

Thank you for sharing this great flour mix! I just mixed up a batch and tried it out on “2 ingredient pizza crust” – 1C flour mix & 3/4C greek yogurt, well, plus some salt. 😉 It turned out great! The best wheat free pizza crust I have made! Can’t wait to try this out in some scones next!

I am so glad you liked it! I totally understand that finding something that tastes as good as you would like it to can be difficult when you are living a gluten free life. I was thrilled when I discovered this mix because it really did make cookies, etc. that tasted “like the real thing!”
