Ingredient Notes:
Note that you can find these flour blends at most grocery stores. I include links on Amazon to the ones I used. I find Anthony’s the best value because you get so much more for your money. Be careful which psyllium husk powder brand you use. Some will turn your baked goods purple.
There are three main binders in gluten free baking, and you can use of the three in this recipe. Find out more about How Binders Work in Gluten Free Baking.
Tips For Sucess:
- The best way to mix homemade gluten free flour blends: It is important to mix this flour blend well because it has several ingredients. I use a whisk to blend the ingredients, then use a spoon to mix them, then put the flour into a gallon-sized zipper bag. Once the flour is in the bag, I seal it tightly and shake the bag.
- If you store this flour blend in the refrigerator, it is important to let it warm up to room temperature before baking with it. This will allow the extra moisture in the flour to come out before you use it.

Step 1: Add all of the ingredients (brown rice flour, buckwheat, sorghum, millet, starch, and the binder) to a large
Step 2: Use a whisk and then a spoon to blend this together. See the Tips for Success above for my preferred way to blend this flour.

With a severe allergy to Buckwheat, is there a substitute I could use for
it in your newall purpose flour mix?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Elle, I haven’t tested a substitute, but you may want to use more sorghum instead of the buckwheat.
Can this flour blend made nightshade free be used for all your other recipes like cookies, cakes, etc?
Hi Judy, I believe the only nightshade is the potato starch, and you can swap tapioca starch for that. It is a fairly new blend and I haven’t tested it in many recipes. Because it has more grains and less starch, my guess is you will need a little less of this blend…I am currently testing it in a gf sourdough boule recipe. I will try to test it in a muffin or cookie recipe this week.
Would you be kind enough to post this receipe in grams.
Thanks
Hi Alice, I just added the gram measurements. Note, humidity and brand may vary slightly. It is very rainy here, so my measurements may be slightly different than somewhere drier.
Thanks so much, I will keep that in mind when making the flour blend.
