The Best Gluten-Free Baking Mixes and Flours

If you bake gluten-free, Madeline's carries gluten-free baking mixes and flours from Cassavaberry plus naturally gluten-free flours from Country Life Natural Foods. Every product below is labeled gluten-free by its maker; the Cassavaberry mixes are also grain-free, dairy-free, and plant-based, and several Country Life flours are made from naturally gluten-free grains. These suit cookies, brownies, pancakes, tortillas, and from-scratch flour blends.

A quick clarification: buckwheat is not wheat. Despite the name, buckwheat is a seed and its flour is gluten-free. Where a product uses almond or cassava instead of grain, we note that it is grain-free as well. If you have celiac disease, confirm the gluten-free label on each product page.

How to choose a gluten-free baking mix or flour

If you want a finished recipe, the Cassavaberry mixes do the work for you: pick all-purpose for pancakes and quick breads, the cookie mixes for drop cookies, and the brownie mixes for bars. They are grain-free and plant-based, so they also suit paleo and dairy-free bakers. If you prefer to build your own recipes, reach for the flours: almond meal adds richness and works in low-carb and keto baking, while buckwheat flour brings an earthy flavor for pancakes and crepes. Gluten-free flours behave differently from wheat, so they usually need a binder (such as egg or a starch) and do best in recipes written for them. Confirm certification on the label if you are baking for celiac disease.
