Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Baking Flour Review and Giveaway

Up until a few months ago, I only ever baked or cooked anything with all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour. I had never even heard of gluten free flour. But when I was at the grocery store a couple of months back, I was buying some Bob’s Red Mill rolled oats and saw the gluten free baking flour sitting a few spaces next to it.

My curiosity got the best of me, so I bought it and the instant I got home, I started looking online for recipes using gluten free flour and trying to figure out whether or not it was worth buying again. I was pleasantly surprised, and I got baking immediately.

The results I got from using the flour were fantastic. So I started buying a bag or two every week and trying it out in recipes I make on a regular basis. I was absolutely amazed at how easy it was to replicate baked goods made with wheat flour.

Recently, I got in touch with the amazing people at Bob’s Red Mill, and they sent me some gluten free all-purpose flour and one of their newest products—gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour—to try out! I’m not going to lie…I was super stoked about their new gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour. I already knew how amazing the gluten free all-purpose flour was, so a 1-to-1 blend had me falling out of my seat!

Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour Review

I use the Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All-Purpose Baking Flour for everything from cookies to pancakes to pizza crust and I’m totally satisfied with it. It works so well to recreate the results you would get from using a wheat flour! And it’s extremely versatile. You don’t have to use it solely for baking—I’ve used it to make roux’s, gravies, baked chicken breast coating, and lots more.

Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour Review

What I was really giddy about trying was the Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour. They actually just came out with it and have been testing testing testing it to make sure that it works flawlessly.

The first recipe I tried the 1-to-1 blend out on was these gluten free chocolate chip muffins (which have become a family favorite). They turned out perfectly, and I think I actually prefer them to muffins made with wheat flour. Seriously! I also love that I don’t have to worry about adding xanthan gum.

To me, it’s incredible how you can get the same if not better results from using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Baking Flour than if regular all-purpose flour was used. Gluten free foods don’t have to be dense, rock-hard, or crumbly.

I really love the two gluten free flour blends from Bob’s Red Mill and cannot wait to try them in more recipes.

    I have not yet tried gluten free flour but am looking forward to it! I Love, Love, Love BOB’S RED MILL and stay stocked up on their beans & ancient grains soup mix which I literally use twice a week! Most times I add chicken but occasionally beef or venison, my fave spices and vegetables. My husband and son eat it up and anytime a family member comes over they immediately start looking for leftover stew! It comes in a 4 pack and I keep 18 to 20 packs on hand at all times…. it’s my main survival prep! :)

    I am gluten intolerant, have used many versions of gf flour, and would love to try the 1:1 baking flour.

  3. Jill A. Collins says

    I have not tried just gluten free flour, but I have used gluten free mixes for cupcakes and had no problems.

  4. Kit says

    I have tried Bob’s all purpose gluten free flour, but it is a little grainy. I am hoping this new blend will offer major improvements.

    I haven’t tried GF Flour but have tried Bob’s steel cut oats and trust their quality products. Would love to try it for my GF friends!

    My 5 yr old daughter was just diagnosed with Celiac a week ago and so in a very short time frame Ive been trying to learn about this disease that I hadnt heard of plus shop for it. Needless to say, it’s overwhelming, especially with all the flours! Would love to try anything that you recommend so that my daughter won’t notice the pancake switch! :)

    I haven’t used any ‘boughten’ blends as yet. I have one at home by King Arthur that I’m planning to try soon. Am trying to limit my gluten intake since my twin brother was diagnosed celiac.

    It’s no exaggeration when I say that I use Bob’s GF AP flour every day. Seriously: EVERY DAY. It’s perfect for everything. Pancakes, mug microwave muffins, birthday cakes….I’ve never even once added xantham gum to the mix. It’s just that awesome. That beany taste….it can’t be beat! I know I’d use that 1 to 1 flour daily as well, but probably more for cakes and oven muffins as it seems to give that rise and UMMMPHF like in wheat-filled goods.
