Gluten-Free Flour Blends
 

Rice Flour Blend

Mix ahead and use in recipes calling for Gluten-Free Flour Mix:

6 cups Rice Flour
2 cups Potato Starch Flour
1 cup Tapioca Flour

Most of the recipes on this site were developed using the above Bette Hagman's original gluten-free flour mix.  This mix makes light baked goods with a pleasant texture and flavor.

If you would like to purchase Rice Flour Blend premixed, look for:

  • Featherlite Flour Blend from www.glutenfreebcg.com
    (also available at Macey's Grocery Store in the Food Storage and/or Baking isles)
  • Gluten-free Gourmet Blend from ener-g.com

 

Bean Flour Blend

Mix ahead and use in recipes calling for Gluten-Free Flour Mix:

3 cups Garfava Bean Flour
1 cup Sorghum Flour 
4 cups Tapioca Flour
4 cups Cornstarch

I have found that many recipes which call for gluten-free flour mix work just as well or better using a blend of bean flours combined with other gluten-free flours.   These blends are higher in fiber, protein, and other nutrients, have a great smooth texture, and are more filling and satisfying than rice flour blends.     Bean flours work best with flavorful recipes that compliment and mellow the nut-like, slightly bitter flavor of ground beans.  I have had wonderful results using bean flour blends in cookies (Chocolate Chip Cookies, Peanut Butter Cookies, Graham Crackers), spice cakes (Carrot Cake, Applesauce Bars, Banana Bars), and spice muffins (Apple Cinnamon Muffins, Banana Muffins, Pumpkin Muffins).
