An inside look into the world of clean eating and adapating to dietary needs

Americans are becoming increasingly mindful of nutrition in their daily diets, avoiding foods high in sugar and carbohydrates. In addition to this, there has been progressively strong demand for artisanal-style, gluten-free and organic bakery products. While gluten-free bread and baked goods were initially developed for those with celiac disease and gluten intolerance, these products have become increasingly popular among those who follow a gluten-free diet for either health or weight-loss purposes.

Gluten Free FloursGluten Free Flours
There is a preconceived misperception that baked goods and more specifically wheat can not be substituted but there are a wide range of ingredients that can do the trick. Flour substitutes range from almond flour to rice flour and taste just as amazing as regular baked goods. More of these flour substitutes include:
  1. Almond flour
  2. Coconut flour
  3. Gluten-free oat flour
  4. Rice flour
  5. Banana flour
In order to adjust recipes to use these flour substitutes, there is a lot of science behind gluten-free baking. Different binding agents are needed and different ingredients that will compliment the many different flours that can be used. To find out what suits each baked good, let us take a look at some recipes.
