Poo on Rice Flour!

Rice flour sucks.  Bottom line, it's gritty.  I'm slowly substituting all recipes calling for rice flour with a mix of sorghum and oat flour (and probably coconut flour once I'm rich enough to afford it).  Like rice, oats have a lot of starch which is good for binding and "chew" in GF recipes.  Plus, it has fiber, and it just taste good.

Did you know how easy it is to make some of these flours, especially oat flour?!  Buy some certified GF oats from good ol' hippie Bob, and buy an electric coffee grinder (they're cheap), and get on it!  Luckily, I'm not highly sensitive to gluten like many are, so I do fine with regular store bought oats; but, always know you can buy the certified gluten free oats.  Other companies sell them, too.

Directions?  Well, put some oats in your coffee grinder, and get your grind on!  Grind to a super fine consistency, and that's that.  I'm sure you can find some you tube video on this process...



With that said, keep an eye on my recipes, because I modify them constantly when I find what I believe to be an improvement on the original.

Word to the oats,
