FAQs

How do you make gluten free baked goods less gummy? ›

Gluten-free batters need a longer bake time.

If you remove them from the oven too soon, you may develop a gummy, mushy texture. It's important to follow the bake time as outlined on the gluten-free recipe, rather than on cues you might normally use for traditional baking.

Are gluten-free desserts better for you? ›

Gluten-free desserts can help to reduce such gastric issues, leading to a healthier digestive system. Most gluten-containing desserts have very low fiber content which is generally unhealthy. Gluten-free desserts are made with whole ingredients such as whole grains that are richer in fiber.

What is the secret to moist gluten-free baking? ›

Moisture – for some reason gluten-free cakes tend to get a little dry. Any gluten-free cake will dry out super-fast and get hard on the outside if it's not properly refrigerated and covered. I swear by always using buttermilk and adding a little more fat into the batter to compensate for the dryness.

Why is my gluten-free baking gummy? ›

Why your toothpick may be lying. With gluten-free baking, we use a combination of gluten-free flours, starches, and a binder (like xanthan gum). These ingredients take longer to set than regular gluten-containing flour, meaning they may remain slightly “gummy” or sticky until they have cooled.
