How to Make Gluten Free Plum Muffins: With Two Different Gluten Free Flours| Gluten Free Baking Tip

Here is the first of several upcoming plum recipes. Today, I decided to make muffins with two different types of Bob’s Red Mill flour. First is the 1 to 1 Baking Flour (blue bag) and the second is the All-Purpose Baking Flour (red bag). I wanted to experiment with both types of flours to determine how they bake differently and give you all some recommendations when using them. I hope you learned something from this video (I know I certainly did!)

1 to 1 Baking Flour (blue bag) RECOMMENDATIONS:

- This flour’s main ingredient is rice so the consistency often comes out gummy. I recommend using it in foods that benefit from a gummy texture such as brownies, cookies, and perhaps crusts.
- This flour is also very dense with smaller grain size so I recommend using a 1 to 1 weight ratio rather than a 1 to 1 volume ratio.
- Also of note: this flour contains xanthan gum so you don’t need to add it (if the recipe calls for it)


All-Purpose Baking Flour (red bag) RECOMMENDATIONS:

- This flour's main ingredient is garbanzo beans so it often adds an earthy flavor to your foods. I recommend using it in foods that will benefit from this (i.e. not fruity or creamy desserts).
- This flour seems to have a similar consistency after baking as regular flour so a 1 to 1 volume ratio should work well. (This is because garbanzo beans just like gluten has a high protein content)


Other Gluten-free baking tips:

- If the recipe comes out gummy or mushy in the center, try lowering the temperature and increasing the time baking.
- With all gluten-free baking I have to extend the baking time to the maximum amount or longer.
- Some gluten-free batters benefit from a longer mixing time.
- Sometimes baked goods will come out gummy initially but after cooling to room temperature the gummy texture will disappear.
