All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend
*This is our own blend, created by reading many different blogs for ideas and then using the ingredients that we had on hand.

All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend
2 cups brown rice flour
2 cups white rice flour
1 cup tapioca starch
1 cup potato starch
1/3 cup oat flour**
The short answer is YES — non-contaminated, pure oats are gluten-free. They are safe for most people with gluten-intolerance.
The main problem with oats in gluten-free eating is contamination. Most commercial oats are processed in facilities that also process wheat, barley, and rye.
Most of the above flours can be purchased at the local grocery store. We were able to get both types of rice flours at Target and Ralphs. Both are available pretty much everywhere. We picked up tapioca starch at Seafood City. It was the cheapest flour ingredient we purchased at only $1.87 a package.
The oat flour, xanthan gum and Ultra Gel we used were all from Honeyville Farms. When we went to Sprouts, we found everything we were looking for, plus so much more. We should have gone there first, instead of last. Amazon is also a good source for anything that you can't find locally.
