Baking mixes:
- Bisquick Gluten Free Baking Mix - this is great for pancakes, but not anything else.
- Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownies - these are fine, but my family prefers scratch brownies (see below)
- Betty Crocker Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies - these are actually a really good option. I can make the usual chocolate chip cookies with a flour substitute (see below), but that makes way too many cookies for one person to eat
Flours:
Many companies make flours from a variety of carbohydrates sources besides wheat. The issue with most of them is they require a complicated balancing act of proportions as well as weird ingredients. The other issue I've run into is most of the recipes that use these exotic flours are aimed at diary free or vegan options as well. Neither situation applies to my son.
The better options are the multipurpose flours that advertise as a one-to-one substitute for wheat flour. Usually any recipe I have can easily be adapted for a gluten free version using these. Sometimes I need to slightly adjust liquids to get the mixture to behave. Do not try this with anything that really needs to rise. Most of the time, but product comes out crumbly compared to what you would normally expect.
- Pillsbury Best Gluten Free Multipurpose Flour - This is the best flour substitute I've found. It has worked in any recipe I've tried.
- King Arthur Gluten Free Multipurpose Flour - I don't recommend this one; the results are just not as good as with the Pillsbury flour.
