Gluten-Free Recipes

These recipes make the most of the natural sweetness and richness in fiber and vitamins of Sweet Potato Flour while being completely Gluten-Free!

Because it contains no gluten (the natural binder found in wheat), we recommend combining it with natural binding agents like Psyllium Husk or nut based flours (such as Almond Flour ) to achieve the best texture and structure in your baking.

  • Use Almond Flour for a softer, nuttier crumb and added richness and better mouth feel.

  • Use Psyllium Husk to help hold things together and boost fiber and moisture retention - especially helpful in breads and flatbreads. Psyllium Husk is a natural product derived from the husk of seeds from the Plantar Ovata plant.
