Recipes and advice needed

[Lorilinn]

Newly diagnosed with Celiac. Mom of 4 who makes most recipes/meals from scratch, so would love any easy(ish)  recipes/websites with recipes. Also wondering if anyone has found a good gluten-free all purpose flour substitute (I tried making my own years ago for a friend and didn’t love how the baked goods came out).

I love oatmeal so also looking for reasonably priced gluten-free steel cut oats recommendation.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum, @Lorilinn!

Be aware that about 10% of  celiacs react to the protein, avenin, in oats like they do the protein, gluten, in wheat/barley/rye.

Namaste's "The Perfect Flour Blend" is what my wife uses. She gets it at Costco. But there are probably lots of good options in this area.

Gluten free flour blends can be very different and make big differences in how a baking recipe comes out.  I usually have better luck when I use recipes from the company that makes the flour.

I've baked with Bob Red Mills Gluten free flour and oats, and have no problems!!

Many people seem to like Jules GF flour.

Love Bob’s Red Milll 1 to 1 gluten-free flour. I never use gluten free recipes I just replace AP flour with this. I bake everything. I do find you have to let batter sit about 20 minutes to absorb. 

I also make all my soups or spice mixes from scratch and use this flour when needed, ie cream of chicken soup.
