Notes

EGFG gluten free flour blend: sweet rice flour, potato starch, sorghum flour, millet flour.

Gluten free flour - All flours, starches and blends have slightly different properties. I use this recipe to keep learning. Sometimes my bars crumble because they don't have enough structure and sometimes they're perfect.

Keep in mind that the weight of each flour varies. Use my flour conversion chart to see how close the measurements are and just try it. I've made them with many individual flours including brown rice, oat, almond, teff, coconut and different blends I had in the cupboard leftover from another recipe.
