Types of gluten-free flour
Main types of gluten-free flour
- Corn flour is dried corn kernels. It contains a large vitamin and mineral complex. Coarse flour is considered the most nutritious and valuable. This variety gives baked goods a beautiful yellow color.
- Buckwheat flour is valued for its high fiber and protein content. It is rich in protein and minerals, incl. flavonoids, vitamin B, carotenoid. Buckwheat flour gives the delicacy a nutty aroma.
- Oat flour. The starting material is oats. This is a natural storehouse of a large number of useful substances: all essential amino acids, calcium and phosphorus mineral salts, easily digestible carbohydrates, etc. Oatmeal makes baked goods more tender and soft.
- Rice flour is made by grinding rice grains. The product has a powdery consistency and is odorless and tasteless. Flour contains 80% starch of the total volume of flour. It has a specific taste.
Rare types of gluten-free flour
- Almond, coconut and peanut flour are the healthiest varieties. They contain large amounts of fiber, minerals and protein. They have a nutty, slightly sweet taste.
- Sorghum brown rice flour has a sweet flavor. It contains a lot of protein.
- Organic, nutty coconut flour contains fiber and protein.
- Xanthan gum is a natural polysaccharide that is made from the outer layer of the inactive bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. It is used as a thickener. This is an ideal gluten substitute.
- Tapioca starch (flour) is made by grinding dried cassava roots into a fine powder. It is a slightly sweet and sticky flour.
Tips and secrets
- Corn, oat, and rice flour can be purchased in supermarkets or specialized health food stores.
- You can diversify the taste of dietary cookies by adding fresh, canned or frozen berries, pieces of fresh and dried fruit. If you are not allergic to nuts, you can add ground peanuts, hazelnuts, and pine nuts.
- Instead of eggs, you can use ripe bananas to bind the ingredients in the dough: 1 egg = 1 small fruit. Bananas should be ripe and soft.
- By mixing different types of flour, you can get a new taste for the delicacy. Corn-rice cakes, buckwheat-oat gingerbread, oatmeal cookies - experiments yield unexpectedly tasty results. With corn flour, baked goods acquire a beautiful yellow color, oat flour makes baked goods soft and tender, buckwheat flour gives a nutty aroma, and rice flour gives a specific taste.
Preparation
Mix the dry ingredients for the cakes and divide them into 2 plates, into one of which we add 2 tablespoons of sifted carob.
Mix the liquid ingredients (if using coconut oil, slightly heat the water). And also divide in half, adding to each plate.
It is important not to extinguish soda with lemon separately. The soda will be quenched as the liquid ingredients are added to the dry ingredients.
The reaction must take place internally.
When mixing the ingredients, do not stir for too long, just to mix, otherwise the effect of the soda will “dissipate” faster (this applies to any sponge cake). The presence of many bubbles on the surface is a good sign :)
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180 C, like this double cake, one or two, light and dark. Let it cool completely.
Take the coconut cream
Carefully remove the top thick layer. We do not use the remaining water at the bottom. Whip the cream with sugar until thick, periodically put it in the refrigerator or even freezer. If it doesn’t thicken for a long time, add a cream thickener (or, alternatively, a spoonful of chia seeds or starch - they will absorb excess moisture). But coconut cream thickens faster if it is as chilled as possible.
Soak the prunes in warm water for an hour. Chop the walnuts into small pieces (not small). Let's prepare boiled water for soaking the cakes, cooled.
Cut the cooled cake into squares and place them in the first layer; using a spoon, soak them with a little water on top so that the cake turns out tender and melts in your mouth.
Place walnuts and pieces of prunes between the squares.
Cover with cream.
We soak the remaining squares in a separate bowl. We lay most of them in a second layer. Don't forget walnuts and prunes. Cover with cream.
Lay the third layer of the remaining squares. You can cut them in half. Don't forget walnuts and prunes.
Spread the remaining cream over the entire cake.
Mix the ingredients for the glaze, heating in a water bath if necessary. Fondant on top of the cake. And decorate as desired. Place in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours (or overnight).
If I didn’t have time to take a cross-sectional photo of the previous cake for the previous recipe, then I specially seized the moment for this one :))
Oh! Came out very nice! And delicious! Everyone appreciated it! I hope you enjoy it too. Share your successes
What to make healthy desserts from?
The answer suggests itself. Made from healthy flour. There was an article about this, read here. And, also from cereals, nuts and of course fruits, which will give us sweetness and an interesting taste. We will use stevia or honey instead of sugar. It turns out that healthy food is so easy to prepare and it turns out very tasty.
Secrets of success
Buckwheat, rice, flaxseed,
almond, coconut - there are quite a lot of types of gluten-free flour.
But how to handle it so that the baked goods turn out tasty and “airy”? After all, it is gluten that is responsible for the “tenderness” in the preparation of dough and gives it elasticity.
Option one is to buy a special gluten-free mixture in the store. But it is not cheap and it can be difficult to find. Option two is to use ready-made advice.
Cooking tips:
- To prepare the dough, use a special baking powder. It’s easy to prepare - mix baking soda with starch and dilute with wine vinegar.
- To ensure that the baked goods keep their shape better and do not “fall off,” do not immediately remove them from the oven after baking. Turn off the degrees, open the door slightly and let it brew a little.
- Remove the ingredients for the dough from the refrigerator in advance. They should warm to room temperature. This will allow the ingredients to mix better. On the contrary, place ready-made gluten-free dough in the refrigerator before baking so that it does not “spread.”
- Add water and other liquids to the flour gradually. Some types of flour absorb water very quickly, others slowly. If you still poured too much liquid, add rice flour to the dough, it will absorb the excess.
- Gluten-free flour has a distinct flavor. To prevent the finished baked goods from having a strong aftertaste, add more aromatic spices to the dough - vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg.
- Store gluten-free flour in a tightly sealed container in the freezer. This way it won't spoil longer.
- Do not roll gluten-free dough thin. Its thickness should be at least 1 centimeter.
In Denmark, where I live, there is a whole galaxy of winter traditions:
from decorating your home to baking special winter cookies that warm you with their spices. Traditionally, “warm spices” are used - vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cloves... Every family has its own favorite recipes. Everyone bakes! And old ladies gathered for the Sunday Sabantuy, and even dads with their children, pulling their aprons importantly. My ex-mother-in-law (Danish) invariably gathered her girlfriends over on Christmas Eve, and all day long they first kneaded mountains of special cookie dough, and then carefully cut all these sausages with cardamom and cloves, cut out figures with special molds in the form of stars and fir trees, drinking hot mulled wine and taking a new batch of cookies out of the oven. Then the baked cookies were divided equally among everyone and each one went home with a pile of beautiful tin boxes in Christmas patterns filled with fragrant winter cookies.
These were emergency supplies for the winter - they were given out almost individually to guests, because the quantity was always strictly limited - handmade!
When I had more time, I also spent more than one winter evening baking, but now, I admit, I only have enough for a couple of tin boxes of cookies, and I do it more for the children. And since I’m not just a mom, but a mom who’s obsessed with healthy food, in recent years I’ve been trying to find healthy winter cookie recipes. And I can do it! I'm sure I'm not alone, so in this post I decided to share with you recipes for healthy winter cookies - gluten-free
, without milk and without industrial sugar.

Composition of gluten-free products
Each manufacturer of such products approaches the composition of raw materials and the technological process of kneading and baking with a high level of responsibility. To obtain high-quality goods, nutritionists are invited to production sites to help adjust the developed recipes and, if necessary, give recommendations on changing them or introducing new, more effective options. The recipe for each manufactured product is strictly individual, but a generalized set of ingredients can be listed as follows:
- corn, rice, millet, amaranth flour;
- sugar or its substitute;
- vegetable oil;
- egg white or egg;
- agar-agar;
- fruits and berries (for filling);
- various spices (vanillin, turmeric, cinnamon, cloves, etc.).
As can be seen from the above, the list does not include milk or dairy products, which is important for those who suffer from an allergic reaction to such ingredients.
Substances that replace flour and sugar in gluten-free products
Thanks to a careful approach to production technology and the assistance of medical specialists, a skillful combination of healthy ingredients is achieved, cookies without gluten and sugar are becoming increasingly popular among consumers with health problems and leading a healthy lifestyle.
Fructose, sorbitol and stevia included in the composition are excellent substitutes for sugar, and amaranth and Jerusalem artichoke are an alternative to flour.
Fructose, made from fruits and berries, is an essential ingredient for diabetics.
Sorbitol, also an approved ingredient for diabetics, is actively used by many companies.
The tropical plant stevia not only fully replaces sugar in the production of cookies, but also has a beneficial effect on metabolism.
Due to the high content of nutrients, namely amino acids (lysine), amaranth is actively used instead of flour.
The universal product Jerusalem artichoke is used as a sugar substitute and is considered as an alternative to flour. Thanks to the presence of magnesium and potassium, it helps reduce blood cholesterol levels.
The correct combination of all useful components and their balanced use in the process of preparing products brings maximum benefits to people's health.

Benefits of Corn Flour
This product contains all the immense benefits of corn itself.
Beautiful color, special structure and unique taste - ideal flour for baking. It also does not contain gluten, which has become a real threat not only for those who want to lose weight. Cookies made from it are much healthier and safer for children in terms of allergies. This product can be stored much longer in its finished form. That is, the cookies remain crispy and fresh for a long time, as if they had just been taken out of the oven. It retains its taste well and goes well with various additives: both sweet and savory.
Crushed corn quickly saturates the body, bringing with it many micro- and macroelements, vitamins, and minerals. It contains a lot of vegetable protein. At the same time, it has lower calorie content than wheat, which is why nutritionists recommend it. In addition, the high fiber content has the best effect on intestinal function.
Almost all baked goods made from this flour turn out crumbly. However, it may not require eggs or butter. After all, flour is also used in cosmetology, which once again proves its benefits and versatility.

Algorithm for making gluten-free corn flour cookies:
- Corn flour should be sifted, preferably twice, to get rid of all solid grains;
- In a separate small bowl you need to beat both eggs, and then add sugar to them and continue beating. It is not necessary to use a mixer; a regular whisk is enough;
- Add flour to the egg mixture in portions, continuing to stir the dough. There should be no lumps;
- Take three baking sheets and line them with baking paper. You need paper, because cookies stick strongly to foil, butter or special molds;
- Using a dessert spoon, scoop the batter onto the baking sheet. The cookies should not touch. It will not grow during baking, but may merge into one mass;
- Preheat the oven to 170 Celsius. Place all three baking sheets at once if the oven is electric. If there is a "Fan" function, you need to use it. Bake in a gas oven one at a time;
- After about ten minutes you can take out the cookies. It should acquire a delicate cream color and become firm to the touch;

Gluten Free Flour Options
Allergy sufferers should replace regular flour with gluten-free flour:
- Rice – crushed grains of rice with a characteristic flavor.
- Buckwheat is rich in fiber, proteins and vitamins. Has a pleasant nutty aroma.
- Corn - produced by drying corn grains. Baking made from this flour turns out to be sunny in color.
- Oatmeal is the healthiest gluten-free flour. Baked goods made from it will delight you with its delicate consistency and pleasant aroma.
You can buy this flour at the store or make it yourself. To do this, you will need the selected cereal, a coffee grinder and a sieve. Flour can be mixed. This way the baked goods will acquire an unusual taste and a bright, memorable aroma.
There are several other types of gluten-free flour, but they are used less frequently:
- Starch - made from cassava roots. The structure is sticky, and the taste is slightly sweet.
- Sorghum is made from brown rice. Contains many useful substances. It also tastes sweet.
- Coconut – made from coconut milk. Absorbed many useful substances.
- Almond – made from almond grains. Many restaurants use it to prepare delicious desserts.

The only downside to gluten-free flour is its short shelf life. So it’s not worth stocking up on it for future use.
Leading manufacturers of gluten-free baked goods

But when workdays and lack of free time do not allow them to do this, they can turn to specialized stores that sell sweets in this particular category. Many of them are located in densely populated cities and provide high-quality delivery of their products to nearby regions.

Gluten-free cake recipe
Let's prepare the dough. Break 3 eggs into a bowl with high sides and add granulated sugar. Mix with a mixer until a homogeneous foam forms.
Add flour and beat again until the dough has the consistency of thick sour cream. Let's quench the soda with vinegar and pour it into the dough for a gluten-free cake - you can also mix it with the dough with a mixer so that it is evenly distributed.
Grease a springform pan (22-23 cm in diameter) with olive oil - then the cake will easily come out of it after baking. You can also use a stick of butter if you are sure it is gluten-free. Pour all the dough into the mold and place the container in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Bake for 18-20 minutes (different ovens bake differently), check for doneness with a toothpick. The cake should look like this.
Cover it with a towel and let it cool like that. You can also leave it to cool in the oven if it cools quickly. Personally, I once burned a beautiful biscuit in this way (I left it in the oven turned off) - and it burned. Therefore, now I only use a towel - after this maneuver, the gluten-free sponge cake never falls off. Make sure that there are no drafts in the kitchen, and that the windows are securely closed - especially when it comes to the cold season.
Continue working on the gluten free cake once the cake has cooled. Open the jar of peaches and drain the compote. Using a silicone brush, thoroughly moisten the surface of the cake with compote - preferably in several passes, with breaks of several minutes. Then the cake will be well soaked.
Cut the peaches into thin slices and arrange them beautifully without removing the cake from the springform pan.
Let's move on to the most delicious, but also the most difficult part of our gluten-free cake to make - the whipped cream cream.
We dilute the gelatin with cold water and leave it to swell for half an hour, and then heat it in a water bath until the gelatin is completely dissolved. You can't boil it! When the gelatin has dissolved, leave the mixture aside to cool.
The cream should be from the refrigerator, and the bowl in which you will beat and the whisk or mixer blades should also be kept in the refrigerator or in cold water so that they cool well.
Pour the cream into a cooled container, beat until smooth foam; Gradually add powdered sugar and continue beating until soft but stable peaks form.
It is important to “catch” this moment when the cream has not yet melted into butter. When the desired consistency is achieved, pour in the cooled gelatin solution in a thin stream and immediately coat the surface of the cake with cream.
Place the remaining chopped peaches on top...
...and put the treat in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Remove the gluten-free cake from the springform pan onto a plate and serve!
How to prepare a delicacy
The dessert sponge cake is made as follows. Melted margarine is combined with table salt, granulated sugar, eggs and honey. Keep on fire for ten minutes. A mixture of rice cereal is added to the resulting mass. The dough is left for fifteen minutes. There is no need to put baking powder into the cake base. It is contained in a gluten-free mixture.
The dough must be divided into six fragments, each of which is leveled with a rolling pin. The biscuits are placed in molds coated with oil. Prepared in an oven. While they are cooling, you can make the cream. To do this, margarine is ground with granulated sugar and yogurt. Five pieces of cake are brushed with the resulting mixture, and the sixth piece is crushed and placed on the surface of the dessert.
The cake should be placed in the refrigerator overnight.

Gluten is found in large quantities in grains such as wheat, rye, barley, and oats. This means that all products made from wheat and rye flour, as well as oatmeal cookies, are prohibited.
There is practically no gluten in crops such as rice, buckwheat, corn, soybeans
It is from them that we will make flour. For this we need a regular coffee grinder. In it you need to grind the required amount of cereals (rice, buckwheat, corn). We also need starch (potato or corn) for baking. It is present in many recipes.
Milk can also be replaced with other products. Special lactose-free milk is sold in stores. There are plant analogues: soy milk, almond milk. In some recipes, you can add vegetable oil instead of milk.
