Substitutions For Various Flours

Is there a good site that will tell me which gluten free flours can be substitued for each other? For example, are brown and white rice flour interchangeable? Is there a flour that can be substituted for

soy flour -

white bean flour-

almond meal -

I realize that every flour has it's own unique properties, but I don't want to have a large number of flours on hand.

Also, is there such a thing as gluten free, dairy free baking chips (chocolate, butterscotch, etc)?

Thanks!

I find this site very helpful: Open Original Shared Link. It is not limited to gluten-free flours, though so be careful when reading it.

Chocolate chips that I have found that are dairy free are Enjoy Life and Trader Joe's semi-sweet chocolate chips. Maybe someone else knows of some other brands.

I just ordered Domata living flour and made tollhouse chocolate chip cookies. They turned out very good. There is a recipe for biscuits that I will try tommorow. I says it is a one cup for one cup exchange.

Hey, so did I!

Well, actually our local grocer is carrying it, so I bought some. I already have a well-stocked pantry with gluten-free flours, so I wasn't sure what to try.

I made the tollhouse cookie recipe (actually 1/2 recipe) - the pan version versus the individual cookie version. We shared with friends - 4 kids and 4 adults, including me - and all agreed they were my best gluten-free cookies ever! And I have been making gluten-free cookies almost weekly for over two years now.

All of my attempts at gluten-free biscuits so far have been pretty nasty, but I think I am getting up my nerve to try with this stuff.

My husband just made homemade chicken fingers using the spicy brand of Domata flour. They were wonderful and my 11 year old daughter thougth they were the best she ever had. He made his own batter with the new flour. It is a wonderfull flour!!!!!!!!!!

I was having trouble getting a handle on the different flours, so I kinda did a test. I did something like the liquid from a crepe - an egg with some sweetened rice milk. Then I'd take about 3 tb of a flour, pour enough liquid in to make a crepe, cook it and eat it, and write down taste and texture. I did this with all the flours I had in the house, and now I feel like i have a better idea of how to use them.

I cant use most blends, because the tapioca kills me. Also, I've been using veggie chips ground in the blender for chicken nuggets - its been popular in my house! Our boys dont like spicy much.

I'd guess you could use potato, arrowroot, or corn starch for a tapioca sub.

Ener-G has GFDF chocolate chips. I used them all the time and really couldn't tell the difference.

There are many ways to substitute ingredients. This is a broad reply, but I've found answers to the "substitution" question in most gluten-free cookbooks. I'm sure there are multiple websites as well.

Good luck as you practice and learn what works for you (and what flours you like, etc.)

I made pancakes yesterday from a basic cookbook recipe substituting white rice flour and Splenda. They were delicious, light and fluffy.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
