🌿 Looking for a healthy flour alternative to wheat?

Whether you’re baking for your little one, going clean, or trying to avoid gluten altogether — you’ve probably asked yourself: “Which gluten-free flour should I use?”

Let’s take a closer look at three gluten-free flours that are not only naturally gluten-free, but also friendly for children and health-conscious bakers. Each offers a unique texture, and all are easy to use in both traditional Thai desserts and modern clean recipes.

🍰 What is Gluten-Free Flour?

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It helps baked goods hold their shape and gives them a chewy, elastic texture.

However, for some people, gluten can be hard to digest or even cause allergic reactions — especially for:

• People with gluten intolerance or celiac disease
• Young children with developing digestive systems
• Clean eaters or those avoiding certain proteins

Gluten-free flour is made from ingredients that naturally contain no gluten, such as rice flour, glutinous rice flour, or tapioca flour. These flours are not only easier on the stomach, but also surprisingly versatile for dessert making!
