Ingredients

Make ahead and use in recipes calling for Gluten-Free Flour Mix:


Directions

3 cups garfava bean flour

1 cup sorghum flour

4 cups tapioca flour

4 cups cornstarch

Many recipes that call for gluten-free flour mix work just as well or better using a blend of bean flours combined with other gluten-free flours. These blends are higher in fiber, protein and other nutrients, have a great smooth texture and are more filling and satisfying than rice-flour blends.

Bean flours work best with flavorful recipes that complement and mellow the nut-like, slightly bitter flavor of ground beans. Bean-flour blends work especially well in cookies (chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, graham crackers), spice cakes (carrot cake, applesauce bars, banana bars) and spice muffins (apple cinnamon muffins, banana muffins, pumpkin muffins).

Cover the mix and store in a cool place or the refrigerator.
