Gluten-Free Flour Mix
An all-purpose gluten-free flour mix that you can use 1:1 instead of wheat flour in all of your baking.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup whole oats (gluten free)
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour (aka tapioca starch)
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, but helps it bind)
Instructions
-
Put 1 3/4 cups of oats in your blender and turn it on until the oats grind down to the texture of flour. (This will take about 1 minute depending on the power of your blender).
-
Pour the oat flour into a wire mesh strainer or a flour sifter and sift over a large bowl to take out the large pieces of bran. (Discard the large pieces of bran or use in another recipe).
-
Measure out 1 1/2 cup of oat flour and put it into a bowl. (This should be what you have left after sifting out about 1/4 cup of bran).
-
Add the tapioca flour and xanthan gum to the oat flour and stir well until it is well mixed.
-
Store in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to use it in any baked goods.
Recipe Notes
- You want to make sure to measure out exactly 1 1/2 cups of oat flour for the mix.
- Starting with 1 3/4 cups of whole oats, it should yield 1 1/2 cups of oat flour once it is ground and sifted.
- Xanthan gum is optional, but it will help your baked goods hold together a little better and not crumble.
- Make sure to tap the measuring cup a few times to settle the flour when measuring or measure the flour by weight.
