NutsOnline’s Guide to Gluten-Free Flour Blends
Since we’re nuts about gluten-free products, we know that gluten-free cooks may need to blend several kinds of gluten-free flour to achieve the desired taste and consistency of baked goods.
While almond flour and gluten-free all-purpose baking flour are the most versatile of gluten-free flours, our guide to flour blends and flour nutrition offers a few suggestions if you want to mix things up. You can read more about our  Certified Gluten-Free flours on our gluten-free flour page.  If you have your own favorite gluten-free flour blend, please share it in the comments!

My favorite flour blend for regular gluten free baking is: 1 part brown rice flour, 1 part sorghum flour, and 1 part arrowroot starch! And for low glycemic baking I love using almond flour and coconut flour! Here’s my guide on my blog about gluten free flours..http://gingerlemongirl.blogspot.com/2010/07/gf-baking-101-gluten-free-flours.html I LOVE this pictorial guide you have created though! I am definitely sharing this on my facebook page! Thanks so much!!

This is just wonderful information! Thank you for sharing it.
My favorite gluten-free cake flour blend calls for superfine rice flour. Wish you guys carried it. The recipe blend can be found at http://glutenfreerecipebox.com/gluten-free-cake-flour-blend.

Just a note about my all-purpose mix… I now add 1 additional part of garbanzo flour. And I use only half of the xanthan gum (which is not listed in this graphic) as in the original post.
Thanks for using my blog & recipe!!!

I love this web site. I am trying to be gluten free and this is the best place I’ve found…But I found it accidentally! I came to Nutsonline for the pumpkin fudge sample and nuts, and found so much more!

Hi there, Esther! We haven’t test-driven pierogie recipes yet, but we’d give this one a try: http://glutenfreerecipebox.com/gluten-free-pierogies-recipe. It seems to have good reviews, and the dough looks like it has a nice consistency and texture. Good luck!

Are there any gf all-purpose flour blends that don’t use sorghum flour? I have plenty of other flours to use up and don’t want to have to buy just one kind of flour if I don’t have to. Thanks!
October 23rd, 2012 at 11:13 pm
Hi Rebekah, we don’t know of any blends that don’t use sorghum flour!

My wife is celiac and is also allergic to rice, potatoes, wheat & most nuts. We are seniors and need some easy bread recipes possibly using Quinoa or Tapioca flours that don’t add in with other flours. We have a bread machine too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

New to gluten free baking and I would like to know how to substitute flour blends for regular all-purpose in recipes. Which flour does not leave the gritty consistency?
December 10th, 2012 at 6:10 pm
Do you put out a catalog? If you do, how can I get one?
December 10th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
Do you make blended G-F flours like what is illustrated above?

Hi Mike, here are a couple of recipes to try for Quinoa Bread (http://southamericanfood.about.com/od/breads/r/quinoaoatmealbread.htm) and Tapioca Bread (http://mindfullymeandering.blogspot.com/2010/12/100-from-scratch-chebe-brand-style.html). Tapioca Flour (http://www.nuts.com/cookingbaking/tapioca/flour.html) is also called Tapioca Starch. Quinoa Flour is available here: http://www.nuts.com/cookingbaking/grains/quinoa/flour.html. Hope that helps!
