How Gluten-Free Flour Blend Converter Works?
The Gluten-Free Flour Blend Converter works by dividing grams of a gluten-free blend by 2.8 g per level US teaspoon, the average for rice-based 1-to-1 baking blends.
Whisk the blend
Starches and rice flours separate in the bag. Whisk the blend before measuring.
Enter grams
Type the blend weight, then check if the blend already contains xanthan gum.
Weigh one spoon
Blends vary from 2.5 g to 3.2 g per tsp. Weigh 1 tsp of your blend and compare to 2.8 g.
Gluten-Free Flour Blend Converter Formula
The Gluten-Free Flour Blend Converter formula is teaspoons = grams of gluten-free blend ÷ 2.8.
tsp = g ÷ 2.8 | 1 tbsp = 8.4 g | 1 US cup ≈ 134 g
- 20 g of gluten-free blend ÷ 2.8 = 7.14 tsp, about 2 tbsp + 1 ⅛ tsp.
- 1 cup of blend = 48 × 2.8 = 134.4 g, 9 g more than wheat flour.
- ½ tsp xanthan gum per 130 g of blend binds cookies without gluten.

What is Gluten-Free Flour Blend Converter?
The Gluten-Free Flour Blend Converter is a calculator that converts grams of gluten-free all-purpose flour blend into teaspoons and tablespoons. Typical blends combine white rice flour, brown rice flour, potato starch and tapioca starch.
Starches pack tighter than wheat flour, so a cup of gluten-free blend weighs about 7% more than a cup of all-purpose flour. Swapping by weight keeps gluten-free cakes and cookies closer to the original texture than swapping by cup.
