Cindy’s Baking Blend (Sugar, Dairy and Gluten Free)
Flaky pie crusts...soft cookies...I've been very excited about the results of using this baking blend I put together. Since we have some dairy allergies in our family, I've been trying to come up with a baking blend that doesn't contain whey protein. Yet, it needed to work for my baked items without becoming dry, crumbly, or reminding me of chewing on a piece of cardboard! Anyone identify? =)

Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 C. Oat fiber
- 1 and 1/2 C. Coconut flour
- 3/4 C. Almond flour (blanched)
- 1/2 C. Flax meal (I grind my own in a coffee grinder.)
- 2 T. Gluccomannan
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients.
- Blend in a blender to make it nice and fine.
- Store in an air tight container.

Posted at 11:46h, 21 NovemberHi Sharon!
I’m still figuring out the exact ratio of it, but I think it’s more like 3/4 C. for 1 C. of regular flour. I’m still experimenting with it in several different kinds of recipes…I’m sure I will be posting more about it later.

Posted at 10:38h, 18 DecemberCindy, should your baking blend be used in S or E recipes? or is it an FP?

Posted at 09:52h, 21 DecemberHi Brenda! It is best to use it in an S setting because of the coconut, flax, and almond flours. ~Cindy

Posted at 13:10h, 20 JanuaryHi Cindy,
Recently my hubby was put on a gluton free diet. I’ve been looking at cookbooks and someone told me about yours. From what I read your cookbook has lots of gluton free recipes, is that correct? Is this pie crust gluton free?
Thanks!
Kathy

Posted at 15:31h, 24 JanuaryHi, Kathy! Yes, that’s right, the recipes are gluten free with the exception of a couple sour dough and sprouted wheat recipes (which is very low gluten, but not completely gluten free). And yes, this baking blend is gluten free. I wish you the nest to adjusting to gluten free cooking…the learning curve can be time consuming! Here’s a link where you can look at several sample recipes of what is in the cookbook: https://www.fromp2p.com//books/a-better-weigh-to-healthy/
If there’s anything else I can be of help with, please let me know!

Posted at 15:56h, 22 SeptemberI was wondering if you have a recipe to use this blend to make a pie crust. I may be missing it somewhere. I do have your cookbook and see the pie crust, but I was hoping to make a crust “s” compatible with this blend. Thank you so much!
