Are you one of the millions of Americans who loves baked goods but needs to avoid gluten? If so, you'll flip for these delicious gluten
free recipes. Enjoy your favorite home-baked treats like chewy chocolate chip cookies, fudgy brownies, and special desserts — all gluten free!
Eating gluten free is important for many with gluten intolerance. Gluten is a protein found in wheat and related grains like barley, rye, spelt,
kamut and triticale. Though the term "gluten free" has not yet been defined by the USDA or FDA, we will use it here to identify foods or recipes
that, to the best of our knowledge, do not contain gluten. These recipes have been developed and tested with alternative flours. For more

Mix up a Gluten Free Flour Mix
To make gluten free baking easier, the Land O’Lakes Test Kitchens developed a
Gluten-Free Flour Blend. It’s easy to make and store, and has been used in many of these gluten
free recipes with consistent and delicious results. It’s made with alternative flours that are easy to find in your supermarket:
Rice Flour - this alternative flour has neutral flavor and provides a light, somewhat sandy texture that is reduced when mixed with
other substitute flours in gluten free baking recipes.
Potato Starch - this is a fine, light powder that lightens baked goods and is also mixed with other alternative flours to achieve
a satisfactory texture. Potato starch tends to clump, so always mix well for best results.
Tapioca Flour - this ingredient is also known as tapioca starch or manioc. This ingredient gives gluten free baked goods their
desirable chewy texture and lightens them up. It also helps to give a lightly browned appearance to a crispy crust.
Techniques For Maintaining Quality & Texture in Gluten Free Recipes
Following directions is especially important when using gluten free alternative flours. Converting to a gluten free recipe from the
original may be tricky and require trial-and-error to get it right. With the gluten free recipes provided here, we have done that
for you by testing and re-testing so you can expect consistently good results.
