My Favorite Homemade Gluten-Free Flour Blend is a recipe I’ve developed to make my own gluten free flour mix at home which turns out to be much cheaper than buying the pre-made mixes at the grocery store.

Why I Make Gluten Free Foods

I’ve been experimenting with gluten free baking recipes for over 10 years now. First, my mom found out she was allergic to gluten back in 2009. Then my daughter found out she was sensitive gluten about 2 years ago due to a condition called hashimotos. She loves bread, pizza, cookies, cupcakes and brownies just as much as any teenager, but all of those things traditionally contain gluten! So I’ve really had to step up my gluten free baking game lately.

Gluten Free Products Are So Expensive

Are you gluten intolerant or have someone in your family that can’t have gluten? Have you noticed how EXPENSIVE it is to buy gluten free breads, cakes, cookies, donuts, muffins, pizza crust, etc? Then, if you want to make these things yourself, have you noticed how expensive it is to buy a gluten free flour mix? One of my favorite brands is $12.00 for one small bag of an”All Purpose Gluten Free Flour Mix!” Who can afford that? Not me.

Chocolate Sunbutter Cupcakes

This is where you can find the flours for this recipe if you would like to order online…

I initially used Bob’s Red Mill Flours for this recipe, then found that this brand – Anthony’s – is cheaper. This Brown Rice Flour ($13.99 for a 5 lb. bag) works just as well. It’s available on Amazon.

Arrowroot Flour – best price is also Anthony’s ($11.99 for a 2.5 lb bag), available on Amazon.

Tapioca Flour – most economical is also Anthony’s ($11.99 for a 2.5 lb bag), available on Amazon.

Xanthan Gum – the best deal is also Anthony’s ($10.79 for 16 ounces), available on Amazon.

    So I am new to the gluten free world. Do you use this blend as a substitute for all purpose flour? Same amount of baking blend as flour needed right?

      Hi Tammy, This is a gluten free mix that I have developed myself. It works great in most gluten free baking recipes that call for “gluten free flour”. I can’t be sure that it would work as a cup for cup replacement for all purpose flour though. As a general rule, if you are substituting gluten free flour in a regular flour recipe, then you will need to add 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum per 2 cups of flour.

    So sad to say that this blend did not work out for me. I used it in muffins and it was fine, but tried 2 different breads and they did not turn out.
