For small jobs, my favorite tool to grind flours is a coffee grinder. Be sure to use a
coffee grinder dedicated for this purpose only. A grinder used for coffee or spices will
have lingering flavors that will affect your flours. A basic coffee grinder can be found at
your local retailer for about $15, and this is the perfect choice if you don’t do lots of baking.
For bigger batches of almond or oat flour, a food processor works great; just pulse until all
of the particles are fine, then sift and repeat if needed. Another wonderful tool is a high-
powered blender, such as a Vitamix. Manufacturers of these blenders even offer special
blender containers designed with blades meant specifically for grinding flours. But rest
assured, you don’t need expensive equipment to get the job done!Liv’s Flour Blend
•Soy-free •Dairy-freeThis naturally gluten-free all-purpose blend is simply 2 parts cornstarch to
1 part almond flour and 1 part oat flour. If you’d rather not make a large batch,
no worries—each recipe outlines the exact amounts of each ingredient.4 cups (480 g) non-GMO cornstarch
(organic if possible)
2 cups (240 g) almond flour (natural
almond flour or blanched almond
flour both work)
2 cups (240 g) oat flour (be sure
to use gluten-free oats/oat flour)Combine all the ingredients and store in the freezer to keep fresh.
Because they don’t contain any stabilizers, the flours may separate
and settle as they sit. Give this a stir each time you pull it out to use.Yield: 8 cups (960 g)
