Key ingredient swaps & pantry staples
Flour blends
Use a 1:1 certified gluten-free flour when possible. For better crumb, blend sorghum + rice + potato starch (or tapioca) and add 1 tsp xanthan gum per 250g if your blend lacks binders.
Moisture & texture
Gluten-free bakes often need extra moisture — try yoghurt, applesauce, or an extra egg for structure. For vegan options, flax egg + mashed banana or aquafaba work well with stabilisers.
