8. Tips for Making the Best Gluten-Free Desserts – Perfect Texture & Taste! 🍪🎂
Gluten-free desserts are easy to make, but if you don’t know the right tips, the texture and taste can be a little off! 😅 Sometimes the cake turns too dry, sometimes the cookies don’t bind properly, and sometimes the bread becomes dense instead of being fluffy. So no need to worry – here you will find the best gluten-free baking tips that will make your desserts moist, soft and super delicious! 🎉
8.1 Gluten-Free Flour Mix – Correct ratio is a must! 🥣
In gluten-free baking it is important to have the right flour combination! Using just one type of flour will not give the perfect texture.
✅ For the best mix use a combination of almond flour + rice flour + tapioca flour.
✅ You can also try ready-made gluten-free flour blends!
8.2 Secret Ingredients for Binding! 🍞
Gluten-free flour requires a binding agent, which makes up for the deficiency of wheat gluten! 👇
✔ Use Xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder – these help to hold the batter.
✔ Mashed banana, applesauce or flaxseed gel is also a natural binding option.
8.3 Maintaining moisture is very important! 🍰
Gluten-free cakes and brownies sometimes become extra dry, so follow these tips:
✔ Use Butter, coconut oil or yogurt to make the desserts moist and soft.
✔ Add a little extra liquid (milk or buttermilk) to the batter so that the texture is perfect.
