    I’ve been cooking and baking gluten-free for years now so it’s safe to say that I know a thing or two. Most of the dessert recipes use a blend of gluten-free flour so they’re so tasty that even gluten-lovers won’t know the difference.

    Whether you have celiac disease or are gluten-free by choice, you’ll be able to find the perfect recipe for any occasion. Everything from gluten-free sugar cookies to apple crisp so dive into these treats and let your taste buds jump for joy.

    What flour is best for gluten-free baking?

    As it depends on personal preference and the recipe, I like to use a blend of gluten free flour. The blend is made of rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch. This way, the texture is more similar to regular all-purpose flour.

    Sorghum flour, almond meal or flour, and coconut flour are also common options. For convenience and great results, King Arthur gluten-free flour blend works fantastically as well.
