Gluten-Free Substitutions for the Recipes in Prep-Ahead Breakfasts and Lunches

Here are the gluten-free substitutions for the recipes in my latest cookbook, Prep-Ahead Breakfasts and Lunches.

In my first cookbook, Prep-Ahead Meals from Scratch, I included gluten-free substitutions. With my second cookbook, Prep-Ahead Breakfasts and Lunches, I did not. It was a hard decision, but I just did not feel that I could put an asterisk next to a muffin or cake recipe and say use a gluten-free flour when I use homemade gluten-free flour mixes when adapting recipes to make them gluten-free.

Below are the Gluten-Free Substitutions for the Recipes in the cookbook Prep-Ahead Breakfasts and Lunches. Many of them are as simple as ensuring you are using gluten-free certified oats or a gluten-free substitute for soy sauce. However, some of the recipes will require you to use one of my gluten-free flour recipes to make a substitute flour to use in the recipes.

Be sure to check the packaging on all ingredients to ensure they are gluten-free!
