Gluten-free Flour Recipe (no gums)

A simple recipe for homemade gluten-free flour that is sprouted for extra nutrition and free of additives and binding gums like xanthan.

My recipe for gluten-free blondies generated a number of emails from people who wanted to know how I mixed the flour.

I’ve put out guidelines on blending gluten-free flour at home in years past. There are so many ways to do it!

However, I have never posted my actual go-to recipe that I can recall.

Why would you want to blend gluten-free flour yourself?

Perhaps the most important reason is because pre-blended gluten-free flour on the market contains xanthan gum or some similar substance.

These additives can create gastric distress for some people. Ironically, it is usually the very same people who are eating gluten-free in the first place!

Secondly, buying premade flour is virtually nutritionless and can actually be a bit rancid.

For the best-tasting homemade gluten-free baked goods, you really need to take the few minutes necessary to grind the grains and blend them yourself.

The exception would be the amaranth grains, which are too tiny for most grain grinders to handle. If your grain grinder won’t grind amaranth, then buy the sprouted amaranth flour instead of the whole grains or leave it out of the recipe entirely (it is an optional ingredient).

Flour Blending Tip

I tend to blend bigger batches and freeze the gluten-free flour in double-bagged freezer ziplock bags.

This preserves freshness and nutrients for months!

You can even use this flour straight out of the freezer! No thawing is needed, and freezing flour does not clump it at all!

Give my gluten-free flour blend a try and see what you think!
