#1 Voted Gluten Free Flour … Again!
What are the ingredients in gfJules All Purpose Gluten Free Flour?
- Modified Tapioca Starches
- Potato Starch
- Corn Starch
- Corn Flour
- White Rice Flour
- Xanthan Gum
(all ingredients are non-GMO) There is no need to add additional xanthan gum or other gums to her flour – use as a 1:1 replacement for wheat-based all purpose flours in all your recipes.
Jules’ flour was voted #1 Certified Gluten Free Flour in the consumer choice 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 Gluten Free Awards. gfJules products were also voted Best Allergy-Free Mixes in 2024 (Menutrinfo National Allergy Awards). We hope you love it as much as others who have come to rely on it for all their gluten free baking!
Is Jules’ Flour safe?
Is Jules’ flour kosher?
Is Jules’ flour organic? Are Jules’ products non-GMO?
All of gfJules products are made from non-GMO ingredients, including the corn ingredients. Some of the raw ingredients used are also organic, but not all. We cannot source both certified gluten free and organic ingredients with optimum functionality for every ingredient needed, so Jules opts first for gluten free safety and functionality and chooses organic wherever possible.
I have other food allergies. Do her products contain other allergens?
The facility where gfJules products are made is entirely gluten free and also free-from peanuts, pistachio, macadamia, Brazil nuts, walnuts, sesame, mustard, fish, crustaceans and sulfites.
All of gfJules products, as well as the line where gfJules products are produced, are certified free-from gluten as well as the the Big 9 food allergens (wheat, egg, dairy, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, fish or shellfish). Sunflower is used on the line for other products, but good manufacturing practices are in place to clean the production lines prior to any of gfJules’ products being produced.
Dairy, eggs, soy and tree nuts (almond, cashew, pecan & coconut) are in the facility but not produced on the allergen-free production lines used to produce gfJules products, nor are they stored in the same room. We send out samples to validate our cleaning procedures concerning allergens and all samples to date have come back clean with no cross contamination detected.
gfJules’ products are among the first in the U.S. to be Certified Free From (CFF) the Big 9 Food allergens.
What about arsenic in rice?
Jules uses very little rice in her products. The rice flour she does use is from California, whose rice has been found to generally contain less arsenic than that grown in the south. Also, with the exception of her graham cracker mix (which uses some brown rice), her products only include small amounts of white rice, which has far lower levels of inorganic arsenic than does brown rice, since arsenic is concentrated in the bran layer.
Is there Corn in Xanthan Gum?
Xanthan gum is created through a process of fermentation using various growth media, one of which may be corn starch. While corn sugars are present during fermentation, further processing ensures that no corn proteins are part of or present in the xanthan gum produced. Of course, if you are uncomfortable with the fact that corn sugars were used as part of the base for fermentation, you should check with your doctor to determine if this ingredient is right for your dietary restrictions.
If you choose to avoid xanthan gum altogether, I offer a flour blend called NADA Flour that has no xanthan gum in it at all. Here is the link: https://shop.gfjules.com/collections/flour/products/gfjules-nada-flour
Are there Glyphosates in gfJules Products?
Wheat, barley, oats, beans, lentils, corn and soy tend to be the crops most sprayed with glyphosate. Most is sprayed on “roundup ready” genetically engineered (GMO) plants.
The certified gluten free and purity protocol oats that Jules sources and offer in her Shop are tested and are glyphosate free.
All of Jules’s other products are non-GMO (not genetically engineered) but the raw ingredient suppliers do not test for glyphosates. We do the best we can in sourcing, but not all of the ingredients we need are available in certified organic form or are tested for glyphosates and we don’t want to make any false representations.
Jules does have options for products without corn (all the corn used is non-GMO, but some people still have corn allergies or prefer to avoid) – her award-winning Bread Mix as well as her new Biscuit & Breakfast Multigrain Flour are both corn-free. In addition, her new Nada Grain-Free Flour is a totally different kind of flour using other ingredients you may still prefer. Here is the link to check them out.
How do I use gfJules Flour in an old family recipe?
I want to bake by weight, not volume. How much does gfJules’ Flour weigh?
1 cup of gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour weighs 135 grams or 4.76 ounces.If using measuring cups instead, spoon the flour from the bag into the cup and level off with a knife so that the flour isn’t compacted, which could throw off the recipe.
1 cup of gfJules Gluten Free Multigrain Biscuit and Breakfast Baking Flour weighs 140 grams.
1 cup of gfJules Grain-Free Nada Flour weighs 110 grams
How do I store gfJules Flour?
How do I use gfJules Flour in a recipe calling for Self-Rising Flour?
Here’s a recipe for self-rising flour using gfJules All Purpose Gluten Free Flour:
- 1 cup gfJules Flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Whisk together and store in a sealed container.
How do I use gfJules Flour in a recipe calling for Cake Flour?
How do I make homemade Bisquick-like Baking Mix with gfJules Flour?
Here’s a recipe for a baking mix like Bisquick using gfJules All Purpose Gluten Free Flour:
- 1 ½ cups gfJules Flour
- 4 Tbs. Coconut Milk Powder (or dry dairy milk powder or soy or rice milk powder)
- 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
Bisquick has shortening in it, so add 1/3 cup shortening, cubed, and pulse in a food processor or add with a pastry blender until its texture is like tiny pebbles or gravel. Use it in bisquick recipes or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. You could use butter instead of shortening, but use immediately.
Can I use gfJules Corn-Free Bread Mix as Flour in a recipe?
How do I get more nutrition using gfJules Flour?
Bleached all purpose wheat flour isn’t known for its nutrition either, and gfJules Flour is a replacement for that all purpose product. In order to get the taste, texture and workability of all purpose wheat flour, it’s necessary to use gluten-free flours that work together in such a way that they provide stretch for doughs without being gritty or having an off flavor. The more nutritious gluten-free grains out there are gritty and/or have a funky flavor that would change the taste of the baked products you’re making and identify them as being “gluten free” or at least “different”.
The good news about gfJules Flour, in addition to the fact that it works and allows you to make delicious baked goods again! is that because it has no taste or funny texture, you don’t have to add any extra fat or sugar to your recipes, as you do with most gluten-free. Processed, store-bought GF foods are almost always higher in fat and sugar because they’re covering up for gluten-free flours with grit or funny flavors. No need to do that with gfJules Flour, which opens the door for more low sugar and low fat baking. Also, Jules adds other GF flours with more nutrition in things like yeast bread recipes and in her bread mix, so you’ll find more nutrition in those.
Baked goods made with flour are intended to supplement the whole foods in a healthy diet, so hopefully the combination of a nutritious meal and delicious GF baking makes you feel better about living gluten-free!
Another option is to use Jules’ new gfJules Gluten Free Multigrain Biscuit and Breakfast Baking Flour in place of the flour in your recipe. This flour is also corn-free. OR use gfJules Nada Flour — it’s grain-free and has gut-friendly resistant starches, as well as fiber and protein from other grain-free flours.
I live abroad and cannot get gfJules Flour shipped to me. Can I make a substitute homemade flour blend?
We do ship Jules’ products internationally, however shipping can be quite expensive, depending on where you live. We recommend combining your international order with friends or neighbors or ordering in bulk, as the majority of the shipping costs are charged on the first 10 pounds of product shipped. The more you order above 10 pounds, the cheaper the per-pound shipping cost becomes.The exact ingredients Jules selects for her proprietary blend are not available in stores, but she has created this homemade blend you can make from ingredients you may be able to find. This is not the exact recipe of gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour, but it is a good blend to use when you don’t have access to Jules’ Flour and it will still allow you to use Jules’ recipes. For more information and other ingredient suggestions, see Jules’ book, Free for All Cooking.
- 1 Cup Arrowroot Powder
- 1 Cup Very Fine White Rice Flour
- 1 Cup Potato Starch (not potato flour)
- ½ Cup Tapioca Starch
- ½ Cup Buckwheat Flour
- 4 tsp. Xanthan Gum
Please make sure all the ingredients you use are certified gluten-free.
Whisk all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl, or pour into a zip top bag, shake until thoroughly mixed. Makes 4 cups.
I am allergic to corn. What gluten free flour blend does Jules recommend?
gfJules Flour contains non-GMO corn. If you would like to make a homemade blend for yourself without corn, follow the ratios given just above, or try Jules’ new gfJules Gluten Free Multigrain Biscuit and Breakfast Baking Flour or gfJules Grain-Free Nada Flour in place of the flour in your recipe.
Jules also recommends Better Batter Flour.

How do I spread the wet pizza dough and not get it stuck to my hands?

gfJules Pancakes
My pancakes turned out gummy. What did I do wrong?
There are a couple of things that might have gone wrong. The batter may have been over-mixed or the puffy batter may have been spread too thick and not pressed down when flipped so that the inside didn’t have a chance to cook. Try a lower temperature and bake the pancakes longer. Also thin the batter out with more milk — it will get thicker as it sits, so you may need to add more milk as you go along.These flapjack-style pancakes will be puffier and thicker than some, so make sure they are spread thinly enough to bake all the way through. Allow them to sit for a couple minutes before digging in – any gumminess will go away after they sit fresh off the griddle.
The best way to get fool-proof, delicious gluten free pancakes is just to use gfJules award-winning Pancake-Waffle Mix. It makes the BEST pancakes and waffles every time!
Can I use non-dairy milk with the pancake mix?
What is the best egg substitute to use with gfJules Pancake Mix?
Can I use something other than bananas in these muffins?
Yes, you can use applesauce or pumpkin puree as a substitute. Just keep in mind that the more watery the fruit you add, the more the fruit will affect how long the muffins need to bake. It’ll take longer to bake off the extra moisture of, say, peaches. So you just have to account for that in your baking time.
Here are some other delicious recipes using gfJules Muffin Mix:
Gluten Free Cranberry Walnut Muffins
Gluten Free Lemon Berry Muffins
Gluten Free Double Chocolate Muffins
Gluten Free Coffee Cake Muffins
gfJules’ Oats
Are the oats sold on this site safe for celiacs?
Jules sells certified gluten-free, purity protocol oats. With the oats Jules offers, oatmeal can be made simply by pouring boiling water on them and letting them sit, or by microwaving or cooking on a stovetop. They are preferred for baking applications, as well.
They are also non-GMO.
