Gluten-free baking often gets a bad rap, but that doesn’t need to be the case. By using alternative flours, grains, and starches, you can get results similar to those in traditional, wheat-based recipes—but even better is using these ingredients to achieve textures and flavors that are unique and delicious in their own right. You can use glutinous rice flour to make a chewy, squishy mochi cake, for example, or reach for almond meal to make a dense, rich torte. And those are just cakes—you can also make satisfying breads, cookies, pies, and more that just so happen to be without gluten. To get you started, here are 34 of our best gluten-free baking recipes.
