After twelve+ years of living gluten-free, cooking safely is second nature. Safe flours for GF baking include sorghum flour, brown rice flour, white rice flour, millet flour, quinoa flour, certified gluten-free oat flour, and teff flour. Starches used for gluten-free baking include potato starch, cornstarch, arrowroot and tapioca starch. Soybean, chick pea, almond, hazelnut, and peanut flours are high protein non-grain options.
