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.

Thanks for sharing this flour blend. As a large family (of seven) all gluten free. Because of celiac. I’ve been looking for a blend to make. The pre made blends are costly. Will try this blend for muffins for our muffin mondays. 🙂 Again thanks for a great sounding different blend.

Hope you enjoy the blend as much as we have.

Hi,
I’m new to this whole gf thing and have had a really hard time adjusting to baking because I’m also allergic to nuts. As a general rule, what would you recommend instead of almond/coconut flour?
Thanks so much

Not really sure as I have only used this flour mix as listed here. You could just try adding in some other flours you can eat. There is a bit of a learning curve to this GF thing so just be patient with yourself. You will figure it out!

oats (GF or not) contain a similar protein to gluten called avenin. some people react to this, and some don’t. i am gluten intolerant, and uncertain about my reaction to oats, so avoid them because it really is easier!
i have not baked with sorghum, but have bought products containing it and been pleased with the result. i will keep this mix in mind next time i bake! thanks for sharing.

Ok, so I just tried this recipe in peanut butter cookies. The cookies are just as tasty but I’ve noted two things.
1) the texture is a bit grainy. It’s like a slightly sandy texture. Now, I’m curious to try the flour in Sand Buckles because you actually want that texture in those shortbread cookies. But it’s kinda ruining my peanut butter cookies.
2) I did notice a slight coconut flavor but I really don’t like coconut at all. It’s not strong but it’s still there and doesn’t mesh well with the peanut butter taste.
I think next time I might put potato flour in the mix instead of coconut flour to see if it cuts the coconut taste out and to see if it also cuts down on the sandy texture of the cookies.
This is a very handy starting point for someone just getting into GF cooking and baking though. I am glad I stumbled upon this recipe and read some of the comments. I wanted to chime in on the coconut flavor because others expressed concern about that and not liking coconuts.
As I used to say as a kid, I don’t like any kind of nut not even coconut!

i was wondering how much like lour this tastes? i don’t mind a little different flavor for baked goods because there are so many varieties of bread. the thing i am having trouble with is gravy. my husband loves biscuits and gravy. i have got good biscuits but the gravy always tastes horrible.

There is a bit of a coconut flavor to it but the texture and overall flavor is great!
