Hi y'all. I made this delicious recipe yesterday. It calls for regular flour but I subbed in the gluten-free blend I usually work with (from Bob's Red Mill). It also calls for lemon yogurt, but I used plain yogurt, put in about double the amount of fresh-squeezed lemon juice, and added a full lemon's worth of grated lemon peel. It's kind of pound-cake-like but moister because of the yogurt and very pleasantly lemony.

Would that be Bob's 1-to-1 or the blend in the red bag with the bean flours?

I figured! I've had pretty good luck with using the 1-to-1 in place of wheat flour, and this would not be the place for beans.

a suggestion?

I have used and like the Bobs 1-to-1 but have never met the bean flour.

I wonder about cornbread for using the bean flour? My cornbread recipe is gluten free and only uses various corn flours/meals but I could see using bean flour for cornbread in those recipes that use wheat flour. It would also do the complete protein dance which can be helpful.

This Scottish oatmeal cookie recipe only has a small amount of wheat flour in it, and so when I went GF I tried the red bag blend in its place, and it works great. No bean flavor, and since they're rugged oatmeal cookies, the texture wasn't impacted. They just spread a little more.

I think that's the only place I use it? I'd try it in a brownie recipe. A blogger I follow uses it quite frequently in her baking, but I haven't made any of those recipes yet.

Those cookies are very forgiving. I made them GF, and then I messed with the fats like three separate times, and they still work.
