Gluten Free Oat Flour Substitute – Sorghum Flour Substitute

Sorghum Flour

You always want to use the same weight of the original flour when substituting with another gluten free flour. See my Gluten Free Weight Conversions Chart.

However, if you are substituting by the use of measuring cups, the approximate substitution would go as follows:

Using the above linked chart, 112 g of sorghum flour is equal to 1 cup. So, 75 g sorghum flour = 2/3 cup. And 95g oat flour = 1 cup. So, 3/4 cup would weigh 71 g. You see, they are very close in weight. Therefore, if you wish to substitute sorghum flour for oat flour or vice versa, you can just use equal weights or the above formula for cup measurements.

Thus far, I have only tested this theory in bread. However, I have tested other ingredients using the same weight of ingredients that were used in a traditional recipe and it worked it out extremely well. Of course, you need to begin with a good recipe and the correct ratio of starches, flours, gums, or gum alternative.

Butter is usually the hardest dairy item to substitute. Let’s look at what butter is made: 80% fat + 20% water.

Coconut Oil or Refined Coconut Oil

I have tried using 80% refined organic coconut oil (refined doesn’t have any coconut flavor) plus 20% water and it came pit awfully close, but just did not quite contain enough fat. So, when using refined or regular coconut oil, try using 80% + 20% full-fat coconut milk or 90% coconut oil + 10% water.

Palm Oil

My favorite substitute for butter or coconut oil using the above formula is palm oil made by either Essential Depot or Okanarur. I first began using palm oil in gluten free vegan cookies for a recipe development client and they all turned out amazing! He thought so as well.

Egg Yolk Substitute

For my egg-free allergic friends, as well as the dairy-intolerant, I tried quite a few versions of vegan egg yolk substitute recipes today, none of which tasted like egg yolk to me. So, I gotta thinkin’…”What does egg yolk taste like?” I had some in the frig, and dipped my finger in it. It tastes like melted butter with a little salt. That was the easy part. I knew a little shortening and salt would create the flavor, but how was I going to make the right color. Well, adding some carrot juice (I just pureed some carrots with a little water in my small food processor, and strained it to make my own juice), makes it orange, but how was I going to make it yellow.
