Hey there, fellow gluten-free bakers! 👋🏻 If you’ve been cooking up a storm lately and realized you’re out of some gluten-free baking ingredients, fret not! I’ve got some quick tips for you to save your recipe and still enjoy tasty baked goods. Let’s get started!

Use Gluten-free Flour Alternatives 👩🏼‍🍳

If you’re out of gluten-free flour, don’t worry! There are several flour alternatives you can use that work just as well. Some of my favorite flour alternatives include almond flour, rice flour, and coconut flour. Each alternative has its unique flavor profile, so experiment and choose the one that fits your recipe the best.

Make Your Own Baking Powder 🧁

Did you know you can make your own baking powder? Yes, you can! To make baking powder, mix 2 parts of cream of tartar with 1 part of baking soda. This mixture will get your baked goods nice and fluffy ✨.

Substitute Sugar with Honey 🍯

If you’re trying to cut back on sugar, honey is an excellent alternative. Honey is sweeter than sugar, so you can use less and still get the same amount of sweetness. Plus, honey adds a unique flavor profile that goes great with gluten-free baked goods.

Use Buttermilk Instead of Regular Milk 🥛

If your recipe calls for regular milk and you’re lactose intolerant, substitute with buttermilk. Buttermilk has a lower lactose content, making it easier to digest. Plus, it adds extra moisture and tanginess to your baked goods.

Try Using Applesauce as a Binding Agent 🍎

If you’ve run out of eggs and need a binding agent, use applesauce. Applesauce helps bind your ingredients and keeps your baked goods moist. Plus, it adds a natural sweetness to your recipe. Use 1/4 cup of applesauce per egg in your recipe.

Add Xanthan Gum to Your Recipe 🍞

Xanthan gum is an ingredient commonly used in gluten-free baking. It acts as a binding agent and gives the dough a stretchy texture similar to gluten. If you’re out of xanthan gum, use psyllium husk instead.
