Friends, we’re SO excited to share the BEST 1:1 gluten-free flour blend recipe with you! It’s our perfected SECRET formula we began selling last year after countless rounds of testing.
It got rave reviews (!!), but with a worldwide audience and considerable accessibility challenges, it wasn’t available to all. So we decided to scrap the middleman and connect you straight to the source, i.e., the recipe!
Here it is: our (top-secret, absolutely perfect) 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour Blend that you can now make at home!
What’s in our Gluten-Free Flour Blend?
- Brown rice flour – a pleasant + nutty-flavored, light yet stable whole grain base that makes up the majority of the blend
- Potato starch – a light and fluffy starch that prevents baked goods from being too dense
- White rice flour – a neutral-flavored flour that helps bulk up the blend
- Cassava flour – a mild-flavored, absorbent flour that helps make up for the structure the other flours lack
- Tapioca flour – to help mimic the stretchiness of gluten
- Xanthan gum – another ingredient that effectively mimicks the texture of gluten, providing stretchiness and binding
Learn more about the various types of gluten-free flours and when to use them here and in the video below.
What You’ve Said About our 1:1 GF Flour Blend
This is by far the best gluten free vegan flour blend I have tried and I’ve tried a lot of them. I’ve had great success using it especially in recipes provided by the Minimalist Baker!
— Stacey C.
It’s not easy finding a gf flour that replaces an all purpose flour. Sooo happy I finally found one at Minimalist Baker! Thank you!!!
— Jessica S.
I have made several baked goods (Chocolate pudding cake, muffins, chocolate chip cookies, etc.) with the flour mix. All have turned out delicious and pretty. This is the very best mix I have used, whether purchased or home-made!!
— Barbara V.
The BEST GF flour blend (that’s also vegan!) I haven’t had this much, consistent, success with baked goods ever! All three recipes I made, (including a pie crust!!) came out perfect. No one knew they were GF, and some thought I bought them at [a] bakery.
— Max A.

& An effective 1:1 replacement for all-purpose flour!

Author Minimalist Baker
Prep Time 5 minutes minutes
Total Time 5 minutes minutes
Servings 8 (1/3-cup servings)
Course Helpful How-to
Cuisine Gluten-Free
Freezer Friendly 6-12 Months
Does it keep? 3-6 Months
Ingredients
US Customary – Metric
- 1 ¼ cup brown rice flour
- 2/3 cup potato starch (NOT potato flour)
- 1/4 cup cassava flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour (also called tapioca starch)
- 1/4 cup white rice flour
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
Transfer to a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid (or other sealable container) and store in a cool, dry place for up to 3-6 months. Alternatively, store in the refrigerator or freezer to preserve freshness and keep for longer, up to 1 year.
Notes
*Different brands of flours vary in their ability to absorb liquid, depending on grinding method, how finely they are ground, etc. For this recipe, we used Arrowhead Mills Brown Rice Flour and Otto’s Cassava Flour, and the remaining ingredients were Bob’s Red Mill. Slight variation may occur when using other brands but shouldn’t make a huge difference, and you can adjust as needed (see the next note).
*If you’re finding your GF blend is less absorbent than all-purpose flour (baked goods are too wet or dense or cookies spread too much), try adding a little more (~1-2 Tbsp) brown rice flour or cassava flour. If you’re finding your blend is more absorbent than all-purpose flour (baked goods are too dry or brittle), add slightly less brown rice flour or cassava flour the next time you make it.
*We used the “scoop and level” method to measure the flours. You can also use a scale and measure in grams. Click “Metric” under the Ingredients header above to see the weight measurements.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate.

Hello I am new to gluten free baking and right now I’m just dabbling in it as I’m not sure if I even want to commit to doing this often or not since it all seems so complicated. I’m not gluten free myself but I do want to try my hand at some gluten free recipes. Do you know by any chance a blend of flours that I could use to make like puff pastries or like other vennisories like danishes for example? Like what would be the best blend of flours to use and what kind of bindings would I need? And finally your video didn’t talk about glutinous rice flour and like would 5at also work here? Or is that specific flour more suitable for other recipes like cakes and such?
Reply
- Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Tiffany, a gluten-free puff pastry (and similar desserts) will be challenging! You would likely need to use a blend that’s more heavy in starches, but we don’t have an exact recipe to recommend. You may want to check out The Loopy Whisk and Cannelle et Vanille for additional guidance. Hope that helps!

My daughters are allergic to potatoes & corn as well as gluten. Their allergist said that this is more common
than is known.
What can I substitute for potatoes st arch ( I am already substituting tapioca for corn starch). Also if I use arrowroot starch what other adjustments do I have to
make to ensure best texture/ taste for whatever goods I am baking.Reply
- Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Oof, that’s tough! We find potato starch is key in gluten-free baking for a light and fluffy result. We aren’t sure of a corn and potato-free option that will produce a similar result, but you could experiment with more tapioca (or maybe arrowroot) and cassava possibly?

I’ve tried hard to find a 1:1 gluten free baking flour with no xanthan gum in it and can’t find any. I have a history of digestive issues and my gut reacts to it. I’m hoping to find a diy recipe without it. I see yours has it, also. Is there anything else I can substitute for xanthan gum or can I just leave it out? I’m new to this and do out of my element. Help?🙂

Hi Cindy, you can leave it out! We find xanthan gum does help it perform more like all-purpose flour, but it’s not absolutely essential.

Hi there! Could you please clarify if you mean SWEET white rice flour or just plain white rice flour? I’ve read they can’t be swapped and I want to ensure I’m picking the right one. Apparently SWEET white rice flour is more glutinous and I have seen it suggested in GF baking, but you are the baker and this is your blend, so I figured I’d go straight to the source before I started blending away. Thank you in advance!

Hi Courtney, oat flour is going to create a more dense/gummy result.

Hi Veronica, Oat + white rice flour could maybe work! Just keep in mind any subs will lead to a varied result. Maybe 90 g oat flour + 80 g white rice flour (total, not in addition to what’s already in there)? It’s hard to say without testing it ourselves!

Hi Veronica, almond flour is more crumbly and not as absorbent. We’d say it’s not a good sub for brown rice flour. Your idea to sub oat flour would be preferable.

Hi Pooja, we used regular white rice flour. There’s not a great alternative to cassava flour in this recipe, but we do have a cassava-free blend here. It isn’t as great of a 1-1 substitute for all-purpose flour as this recipe is, but does work in many recipes, especially if adding a bit more flour.

I just love what you all do and it as been my biggest saviour for recipes that actually work in my food journey and enjoying a new ‘normal’ without the compromise.
I’ve read all the comments and can see a few substitutions but still need to ask about tapioca. Firstly if Guar Gum is used for the same reason how much extra would I need to add to remove the tapioca. Secondly can you explain why most recipes do use both ? What’s the fundamental rational?
BTW I love that you explained what each ingredient’s purpose is to understand why and what and removed the mystery for those of us that just live cooking but don’t get into the science if it all.

We’re SO glad our recipes have been helpful in your journey, Brenda! Thank you for your kind words! We aren’t sure about using guar gum as a substitute for tapioca starch, but what about maybe trying arrowroot starch? It would be close, though arrowroot can make baked goods gummy, so we’d say maybe 2-3 Tbsp arrowroot plus an extra 1 Tbsp cassava flour? Let us know if you do some experimenting!

Thanks for the arrowroot heads up and substitution suggestions
I’ve since realised while watching your video attached that I overlooked the fact I also react to cassava given it’s from the same source. Once again a suggested substitute would be appreciated with the exception of oat and buckwheat ( also off my list of safe foods )

Just a query… doesn’t rice especially brown, have arsenic in it?
Can we use something else?Reply
- Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Lisa, Since it’s the main flour in this blend, we can’t guarantee the result will be the same with swapping it out. There’s not a great gluten-free alternative that functions the same, but you could play around with oat flour, sorghum flour, buckwheat flour, quinoa flour, and/or millet flour (though we haven’t been able to find one that isn’t bitter). Regarding rice/arsenic, our understanding is that it’s the growing conditions, not the rice itself that causes some rice products to have a higher arsenic content. If concerned, you could try using a brand/product that is grown in an area with lower arsenic content in groundwater.
