Cooking & baking tips:
-
Substitute 25% conventional flour with amaranth flour in gluten-free baking.
-
The powder is quite absorbent, so you may need to add more water or other wet ingredients, such as applesauce.
-
Combine with other gluten-free flours or starches to make breads, cookies, pancakes and more
-
Use amaranth flour on its own for breading or to thicken sauces, stews, soups or even smoothies.
