Gluten Free Flours- So Many Options!
So many to choose from!! I hope this helps you choose the right one for your recipe.
Blanched almond flour: Made from finely ground blanched (skinned) almonds. Store in refrigerator or freezer. Can add small amounts to baked goods to improve their tenderness and structure.
Buckwheat flour: This isn't wheat at all! Made from the triangular seed of the buckwheat plant and has a rich, nutty flavor that's delicious in breakfast and baked goods. Store at room temperature.
Garbanzo bean flour: Made from dried garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas. It has a distinct taste that becomes milder, even unnoticeable when baked. Store in refrigerator.
Garbanzo-fava bean flour: A blend of garbanzo bean flour and fava-bean flour. The protein in the flour helps create structure to baked goods. It's healthy, works great, and there's no beany taste! Store in the refrigerator.
Millet flour: Millet is a grain that can be ground into flour at home in a high-powered blender. Store in refrigerator.
Quinoa flour: Quinoa is actually a seed, though many people think it's a grain. It has a distinct flavor! One of my favorites! Store in the refrigerator.
Sorghum flour: A heartier grain that works incredibly well in gluten-free baking. It's high in protein and fiber, and it creates results similar to wheat flour's. Store at room temperature.
Teff flour: Ground from the tiniest grain in the world, teff flour contains protein, calcium, and iron.
Try this recipe! I love it!! I go gaga over breakfast foods!!
