🌾 Let’s Talk Gluten-Free Baking! 👩🏼🍳
One of the questions I get asked the most is:
“What kind of gluten-free flour do you use?”
I thought it would be fun to give y’all a little behind-the-scenes look at how we do gluten-free baking at Sarah’s Southern Kitchen!
🌾 Our Gluten-Free Flours
The flour I use depends on the recipe!
🥜 Almond Flour – Used primarily in our protein recipes.
🌾 King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour – My favorite for traditional gluten-free baking because it gives the closest texture and taste to classic baked goods.
🌾 Oat Flour – Used in many of our protein recipes for a soft, hearty texture.
🍞 Our gluten-free sourdough loaves, sandwich bread, bagels, cookies, cinnamon rolls, biscuits, and many other bakery favorites are primarily made using King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour because I’ve found it gives the best texture, taste, and consistency.
💪 Our Protein Line
Every one of our protein items is gluten-free, and many are also vegan-friendly.
Most are made with:
✔️ Almond flour
✔️ Oat flour
✔️ Truvani® Plant-Based Protein Powder
I use Truvani Plant-Based Protein Powder in all of my protein recipes because I believe in using clean, high-quality ingredients that I’d feel good about serving my own family.
It’s:
✅ Gluten-free
✅ Dairy-free (no whey, milk, lactose, or casein)
✅ Soy-free
✅ Vegan
✅ USDA Organic
✅ Non-GMO
✅ Sweetened with organic monk fruit
✅ Made without artificial sweeteners, fillers, gums, or unnecessary additives
🌰 Have an almond allergy?
No problem! In most protein recipes, I can substitute oat flour for almond flour. Just let me know when you place your order.
🚨 Please remember: It is your responsibility to let me know about any food allergies or dietary restrictions when placing your order. I can only accommodate allergies that I’m aware of.
📊 A Fun Bakery Fact
This week, I have 8 sourdough loaves on my baking schedule…
🥖 6 of those are gluten-free!
I’ve seen gluten-free requests increase significantly over the last several months, and I couldn’t be more grateful. It motivates me to continue learning, testing, and perfecting my gluten-free recipes so every customer has something delicious to enjoy.
🍂 Coming September 1
When our Fall Menu drops, you’ll notice gluten-free items and flour choices listed much more clearly throughout the menu. My goal is to make ordering as simple and transparent as possible so you’ll know exactly what’s in the products you’re purchasing.
💲 Gluten-Free Pricing
Because gluten-free ingredients cost significantly more than traditional baking ingredients, any menu item requested as a gluten-free option will include an additional $3 charge.
I always strive to keep my prices as fair as possible while continuing to use quality ingredients that produce the best results. Thank you for understanding and supporting a small business!
⚠️ Tennessee Cottage Food Law Advisory
Sarah’s Southern Kitchen is a Tennessee Cottage Food Operation. While we proudly offer many gluten-free options, all products are prepared in a home kitchen where wheat, dairy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, sesame, and other common allergens are also present.
Because all products are prepared in a shared kitchen, our gluten-free items are not recommended for individuals with Celiac disease.
💛 A Personal Note
Many of you know I love sharing my health journey just as much as my baking journey.
I’m beginning a gluten-free journey to see if it helps reduce some of the inflammation I’ve been dealing with in my feet.
I’m also making the decision to eliminate added sugar from my diet. While everyone’s journey is different, I’m excited to see where this one takes me.
If you’ve been with Sarah’s Southern Kitchen for a while, you already know this isn’t a huge change for the bakery.
Healthier has always been at the heart of what we do.
🙌🏼 Even our traditional baked goods are intentionally made with LESS sugar than many traditional recipes, while still delivering the homemade Southern flavor you know and love.
My goal has never been to take away the comfort of baking—it’s simply to make it a little better for you whenever I can.
To my gluten-free customers, I’m excited to be on this journey alongside you.
To my protein lovers and my traditional bakery customers, you’re coming along too! ❤️
This journey will continue pushing me to create even better gluten-free, protein, and traditional recipes while staying true to what Sarah’s Southern Kitchen has always been about:
Homemade comfort food with a healthier twist. 🫡
And don’t worry, our traditional sourdough, cinnamon rolls, cookies, biscuits, and all of your favorites aren’t going anywhere.
I’m simply committed to continuing to learn, grow, and serve you even better.
Thank you for allowing me to do what I love. I truly have the best customers around. 🌻
