What is Easy Almond Flour Baking Mix Recipe?

• This mix is a gluten-free corn-free flour alternative made from simple ingredients: ground, blanched almonds and tapioca flour (also called tapioca starch). These two complementary ingredients work together to mimic the texture, structure, and properties of wheat flour. It’s also plant-based, paleo-friendly, and corn-free!
  • Using almond flour alone as a replacement for all-purpose flour would yield denser, heavier baked goods. And on its own, tapioca flour does not have the structure to stand in for wheat flour. But when paired, almond flour and tapioca flour bring moisture, chew, tenderness, and flavor, plus protein and healthy fat!
  • There is twice as much almond flour as tapioca flour in this grain-free mix, providing the correct structure and moisture for baking.
• Research on and treatment of Celiac Disease and recognition of gluten sensitivity grew in the late 20th century. Companies began developing gluten-free products, including baking mixes. In search of real food healthful choices and options to commercial mixes with preservatives, home bakers are making gluten-free products on their own.
• Our baking mix is the perfect versatile base for all your favorite baked nutritious foods and treats, including waffles, pancakes (you can even make your own pancake or waffle mix!), a quick bread loaf, and delicious desserts.

  • The natural oils in almond flour give baked goods added moisture.
  • Each serving of almond flour has six grams of protein, fiber, and it’s nutrient-rich, with iron and calcium.

• Tapioca flour

  • Tapioca flour has a neutral taste, making it an easy fit with a range of flavors.
  • It gives baked goods a smooth, slightly chewy texture.
  • Because it’s starchy, tapioca flour naturally binds ingredients together.

FAQs

• I have a nut allergy. What’s another gluten-free flour I can use?

  • There are many options for gluten-free flours.
  • See our Guide to the Best Gluten-Free Flours for nut-free options, including a Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend.

• I see xanthan gum in many gluten-free baking mixes. Do I need to use it?

  • Xanthan gum is a binding agent that mimics the gluten in wheat flour that acts as a thickener.
  • If you find that your gluten-free baked goods are too crumbly, you can experiment with using 1/2 teaspoon to 2 teaspoons of xanthan gum for every cup of the baking mix. Check out our Guide to the Best Gluten-Free Flours for more information.
  • Other thickening options include flax meal (ground flax).

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips

• When using this blend to replace wheat flour, replace it by volume, not weight. Almond flour weighs less than wheat flour but if you replace it by weight you will have too much almond flour in your recipe.
• You cannot replace the tapioca flour with corn flour in this blend. Corn flour will not add the necessary structure and will make your baked goods too tender and crumbly.
• Be sure to use fine, blanched almond flour for this recipe and not almond meal, which is almonds ground with their skins on.
• When mixing this blend, passing the flours through a sieve a few times can be helpful to ensure even mixing.
• Unless you bake frequently, store this flour blend in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
