Notes

  1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF, Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend, and Authentic Foods Multi Blend in this recipe. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  2. If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
  3. You can use any microwave safe mug for this recipe.
  4. The mug handle may be very hot when you remove it from the microwave. Make sure to use a pot holder to remove the mug.
  5. I used almond milk but other dairy-free kinds of milk will work but I do not recommend canned coconut milk.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
