Comment on Caputo Gluten Free Flour: Review & Recipes by Chantal.
Hi Sharon! It’s confusing for sure! It’s supposed to be safe for people with celiac disease as per their testing methods, but it contains wheat starch, which is not safe if you have a wheat allergy. Some people are allergic to wheat but don’t have celiac disease. Those people might be okay with barley or rye if not cross-contaminated with wheat. So they can consume gluten-containing foods but not wheat. Does that make sense? I’m in multiple celiac groups, and many consume the Gluten-Free Caputo flour and love it. Many prefer to avoid it and don’t want to take a chance. King Arthur’s Gluten-Free Bread Flour with wheat starch is now available in the US. That company includes more information on the product page of their website. Consuming gluten-free wheat starch is a preference and might not be suitable for all. I trust products that are labeled and certified gluten-free. Whether or not wheat starch is healthy is a whole other conversation.

How To Make Maple Cream
Hi! You can use a trusted online nutrition calculator tool to check the calories and nutrition facts for recipes or ingredients. This is a pure maple syrup/cream recipe so a serving of two tablespoons will be around 100 calories and 19 g of sugar.
Healthy 5-Ingredient Banana Bread (GF/V)
If you did not try it yet, I think trying it with an extra half of a banana would be a great start to replace the maple syrup. And for the next bake, try adding more (or less) depending on how the first loaf worked out. Let me know if you do try it!
Maple Cream Bars
Hi Joanne! I don’t see why not. If you like walnuts, go for it! Pecans, hazelnuts, or sliced almonds would be equally tasty if you can consume any type of nuts. Ps. I froze some of the bars the last time I made a batch, and they are SO good to enjoy as a nice treat once in a while when the craving hits me. Especially if you can’t have traditional pecan bars/pie or butter tarts with gluten, sugar, eggs, dairy, etc., these maple bars are such a nice treat! If you do freeze some of the leftover bars, it’s best to thaw a little bit before eating or place the piece on a plate in the microwave for a few seconds.
Canadian Sourdough Beavertails (GF/V)
Hi! Thank you for trying this recipe! I am not an expert at deep frying but from my experience the oil has to be hot enough or the donuts will absorb too much oil and result in greasy and soggy donuts. Ideally 350-375°F. The temperature will drop a bit once the dough is cooking. Are you cooking on a gas or electric stove? Did you use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the oil? I mean if yours were getting too dark too fast, lower the temperature even more next time to see if it’s better.
Gluten-Free Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls
Hi! I haven’t made these in a while. I do have organic coconut milk (can) and could try a version without brown rice flour. Which GF flour is in your gluten-free starter? Tell me, when you bake grain-free, which ingredients can you consume? Do you eat buckwheat (pseudograin)? What about cassava flour, coconut flour, tiger nut flour, etc.? What about starches? Are you okay with potato starch and tapioca starch? Let me know so we can create a new version for you. What about sugar? Are you okay with coconut sugar or maple syrup?
