Substituting Quinoa flour in baking
December 3rd, 2012 | 
Author: I really don’t like to be wasteful and just jump into something just to have it fail miserably.
In my circle of friends and family we have folks who don’t want to eat wheat and one that can’t.
Have any of you tried substituting quinoa flour for all-purpose flour in your baking?
What kind of results did you get? Would you recommend this? Is there adjustments that must be made?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

What are you making? Does quimoa flour have gluten? I don’t think yeasts ,breads work well without gluten, might work in biscuits.
I’m thinking of substituting this quinoa flour for all-purpose flour in cooking (to thicken gravies, stews, etc.), and in baking cakes, quick breads, cookies, squares etc. I found an excellent recipe for brownies using this stuff and was wondering if it would work for other baking/cooking applications. I started searching the web for recipes, but they all had other weird stuff in it to make up for the lack of gluten. Quinoa and quinoa flour is said to be good for gluten free diets although I tried it only because it is wheat free.
