Friends, we are very excited to share the best 1:1 gluten-free flour mix recipe with you! It’s our perfect secret formula that we started selling last year after countless rounds of testing.
It got rave reviews (!!), but with a global audience and considerable accessibility challenges, it wasn’t available to everyone. So we decided to scrap the middleman and connect you directly to the source, i.e. the recipe!
Here it is: our (top-secret, absolutely perfect) 1:1 gluten-free flour mix that you can now make at home!
What’s in our gluten-free flour mix?
- Brown rice flour – A pleasant + nutty flavored, light yet stable whole grain base that makes up most mixes
- potato starch – A light and fluffy starch that prevents baked goods from becoming too dense
- White rice flour – A neutral-flavored flour that aids in blending
- Cassava flour – A light-flavored, absorbent flour that helps create the structure other flours lack
- Tapioca flour – To help simulate the stretchability of gluten
- Xanthan gum – Another ingredient that effectively mimics the texture of gluten, providing stretch and binding
Learn more about the different types of gluten-free flours and when to use them here and in the video below.
What you said about our 1:1 GF flour mix
This is by far the best gluten free vegan flour mix I’ve tried and I’ve tried a lot of them. I’ve had great success using it, especially in recipes provided by Minimalist Baker!
– Stacey C.
Finding a GF flour that replaces all-purpose flour isn’t easy. So glad I finally found a minimalist baker! Thanks!!!

I have made several baked goods (chocolate pudding cake, muffins, chocolate chip cookies, etc.) with the flour mixture. All turned out delicious and beautiful. This is the best mix I have ever used, whether bought or homemade!!
– Barbara V.
Best GF flour mix (vegan too!) I’ve never had so much, consistent, success with baked goods! All three recipes I made (including the pie crust!!) came out perfect. No one knew they were GF, and some thought I bought them [a] the bakery

*Different brands of flour vary in their ability to absorb liquid, depending on the grinding method, how finely they are ground, etc. Slight variations may occur when using other brands but shouldn’t make a huge difference, and you can adjust as needed (see next note).
*If you find your GF mix is less absorbent than all-purpose flour (baked goods are too wet or dense or cookies are too spreadable), try adding a little more (~1-2 tablespoons) brown rice flour or cassava flour. do If you find that your mixture is more absorbent than all-purpose flour (baked goods are too dry or crumbly), add a little less brown rice flour or cassava flour the next time you make it.
* We used the “scoop and level” method to measure flour. You can use a scale and measure in grams. Click “Metric” under the material heading above to view weight measurements.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate.
