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.

That was very helpful. Thanks!

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.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
