Can I swap regular flour for gluten-free flour in brownies?

[doebadie]

Has anyone tried using gluten-free flour instead of regular flour in brownies? How did it turn out? I'm curious if it's a straight swap or if there are any adjustments needed. Any advice would be super helpful!

Hi there. Substitute by weight, not volume. Moreover, because they are finer, they weigh less than all-purpose flour, so it is a good idea to substitute your blend for the all-purpose by weight, rather than by volume. If the original recipe calls for 260 grams of all-purpose flour, substitute with 260 grams of your blend. Hope that will help!

Hey! Thanks for the tip! Using weight instead of volume makes total sense for a finer blend. I'll go with 260 grams when subbing my blend for all-purpose flour next time.

You can swap gluten-free flour, but add a binder like xanthan gum for better texture; results can be deliciously fudgy!
