I have loved having my Master Mixes in the freezer for the chocolate cake, vanilla cake, and bread, but wished that there was something that could be used for everything. I was so excited to see that Trim Healthy Mama came out with a Baking Blend that can be used in place of most other gluten-free flours. I know that has been very popular and many love the convenience of having it on hand to use.
But the frugalist in me was hoping that I could come up with a gluten-free baking mix that I could mix up myself and keep in the freezer (like my other Master Mixes). Today I want to share this mix that I have been trying. So far I have had pretty good results using this mix in recipes that call for the THM Baking Blend, but I am sure the THM Baking Blend is much better. I am only providing this as an option for those that have run out of the THM Baking Blend or who want to be able to mix it up themselves and are willing to do some experimenting.
Please note that this mix is my own creation and NOT a replacement for the THM Baking Blend.
A couple notes before I share the recipe — Because this recipe contains so much oat fiber and very little fatty flours (almond flour and flax meal), this baking mix would be a FP so it could be used in any THM recipe — S, E, or FP. I am also finding that since this flour has so much oat fiber and oat fiber tends to absorb liquids more, you don’t end up using as much of it. In a recipe that calls for 1/4 cup total flours (4 tablespoons), I am finding that I only need to use 3 tablespoons of the Gluten-Free Baking Mix. As I said before, I have had pretty good luck using this mix in recipes calling for the THM Baking Blend (using equal amounts), but please know that this is NOT the THM Baking Blend and therefore may not work the best in some recipes. But if you are willing to give it a try and experiment a little, then this recipe is for you!
SHERI’S GLUTEN-FREE BAKING MIX
1 cup oat fiber
3/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup flax meal (ground fine in coffee grinder)
1/2 cup almond flour
1 tablespoon Gluccomanan
Mix all ingredients and place in a covered container in the freezer.
Remember: In single-serving recipes, use only 3 tablespoons of mix to replace the 4 tablespoons of other flours (except the THM Baking Blend, in which case you can use equal amounts).
