Some people might think that desserts are the most difficult item to substitute on a gluten-free diet. But the truth is that preparing gluten-free desserts is easier than you imagine. The most important part when thinking about recipes for gluten-free desserts is which are the best gluten-free substitutions for your usual gluten pastry products.

Gluten-Free desserts substitutions

There are several types of gluten-free flour, and many commercial gluten-free flour blends typically include several kinds of non-wheat derived flour in one mix. Some flours provide protein, some provide texture, some provide flavor.

Some of the most common gluten-free flours are Arrowroot, buckwheat flour, coconut flour, cornflour, nut flours, rice flour..

Depending on the gluten-free dessert that you want to cook, some gluten-free flours might work better than others. For example, for baking muffins, you can use gluten-free all-purpose flour but for cakes, you might need to use a combination of different flours to get the perfect result.
