Can I use a gluten free flour blend
This recipe uses individual flours and for the best results that is what I recommend. You can use a gluten free blend, but it will not have quite the same taste and texture.
Ingredients
- white rice flour – brown rice flour will work, but white rice flour will give it a better texutre
- potato starch
- tapioca starch – can also be labeled tapioca flour in the U.S.
- xanthan gum
- dutch processed baking cocoa – be sure to use dutch processed baking cocoa, not regular baking cocoa
- baking soda
- salt
- pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- brown sugar
- oil
- buttermilk
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- gluten free chocolate chips – these are optional, but it is so much better with some chocolate chips stirred in.
