1. Fluffy Rice Flour Pancakes
This is the perfect breakfast food. The pancakes are light and airy, but also substantial enough to keep you full until lunchtime.
And they’re so easy to make, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start making them sooner.
The star ingredient here is rice flour because it’s finer and gives the pancakes a lighter texture.
It also has a milder flavor, so the pancakes won’t be overly sweet.
2. Mango Cream Mochi
Summer is the perfect time to enjoy mangoes. They’re sweet, juicy, and always remind me of sunny days by the pool.
But why stop at just eating them? Why not turn them into a delicious mango dessert?
That’s where this recipe comes in. These little mochis are bursting with flavor, and the cream filling is so smooth and creamy.
I like to serve them chilled, but you can also enjoy them at room temperature. Just be sure to devour them before they melt in your hands!
3. Puto (Filipino Steamed Rice Cakes)
Puto is a traditional food from the Philippines that’s made of glutinous rice flour, water, and yeast, and then steamed in small cupcake pans.
Puto is often eaten as a snack or dessert, and can be served plain, topped with cheese, or with a sweet sauce.
I like to top mine with butter or chocolate.
4. Gluten-Free Rice Flour Bread
This recipe is a healthier and more delicious alternative to traditional wheat bread.
It’s perfect for those who are gluten sensitive or have celiac disease.
The bread is light and fluffy, and it has a slight sweetness to it. I like to add raisins or dried cranberries to mine for extra flavor.
But you can add any type of fruit or nut that you like (or not).
5. Gluten-Free Madeira Cake
This healthier cake recipe is so good that you won’t even miss the gluten! It’s moist and flavorful, with a delicate crumb.
If you want to make it absolutely irresistible, I suggest making some homemade gluten-free icing. It makes all the difference!
I like to serve this cake with fresh berries, whipped cream, or ice cream.
6. Soft & Chewy Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Who doesn’t love a good chocolate chip cookie? Soft, chewy, and melty, they’re the perfect snack for any time of day. But what if you’re gluten-free?
No need to worry, as this recipe is just what you need.
These cookies are made with oat flour, tapioca flour, and rice flour, so they’re entirely gluten-free.
And trust us, they’re just as soft and chewy as traditional chocolate chip cookies. So go ahead and indulge!
7. Simply Perfect Crispy Scottish Shortbread
This recipe is everything you want in a shortbread. It’s crispy, buttery, and not too sweet.
Made with just four ingredients, this shortbread is surprisingly easy to cook, and it’s sure to become a new favorite.
My tip is to use high-fat unsweetened butter because it adds a slightly creamy texture while preserving other flavors.
8. Sweet and Sour Pork
Are you in the mood for some delicious Chinese food tonight? Why not try your hand at making the famous sweet and sour pork?
While it may take a little bit of time to prepare, this dish is definitely worth the effort.
The pork is juicy and flavorful, and the rice flour adds that amazing crunch we all love.
For best results, use lean pork loin or tenderloin. And of course, serve it with some steamed rice!

If you’re looking for a gluten-free blueberry muffin recipe that actually tastes good, look no further!
This recipe uses rice flour, which gives the muffins light and fluffy texture. And trust me, you won’t even be able to tell that they’re gluten-free.
The key to making these muffins extra delicious is to use fresh or frozen blueberries.
I prefer frozen because they tend to burst and release their juicy goodness while baking.
10. Rice Flour Sugar Cookies (naturally gluten-free)
Rice flour sugar cookies are the perfect treat for anyone with gluten sensitivity.
These cookies are light and fluffy, and they have a lovely vanilla flavor.
I like to decorate mine with chocolate chips or sprinkles, but you can use any type of decorations that you like.
11. Super Crispy Fish and Chips
If you’re in the mood for some homemade fish and chips, this recipe is the perfect way to satisfy your cravings.
The key to making the perfect fish and chips lies in getting the batter just right.
This recipe uses a simple batter made with rice flour and beer, which guarantees a crispy, golden-brown coating on your fish.
And to get that signature British chip flavor, I like to fry the potatoes twice to make them extra crispy. Serve with a dollop of tartar sauce and enjoy!
12. 3 Ingredient Rice Chips

13. Tang Yuan (Chinese Glutinous Rice Balls)
Tang Yuan is a delicious dessert that is popular in many Asian cultures.
The dish is made by shaping the dough into small balls and then boiling it in water.
The balls are usually served in a sweet soup, and they can be flavored with a variety of different ingredients such as ginger, peanuts, or sesame seeds.
And guess what? This dessert is said to bring good luck and prosperity!
14. Gluten-Free Banana Bread
If you’re like me, you love banana bread. But if you’re gluten-free, that means that most banana recipes are out of the question. But not this one!
This recipe is perfect for those mornings when you wake up craving something sweet.
But you won’t have to deal with the hassle of making an actual cake.
I often make it when I have a bunch of ripe bananas that need to be used up. Enjoy!
15. Murukku
Murukku is a delicious snack that originates from India. It’s made by combining rice flour, urad dal flour, and salt, and then shaping the dough into coils.
You can both fry and bake murukku, but I prefer frying. It goes well with chutney or another dipping sauce.
The dough can be a little tricky to work with, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll churn out murukkus like a pro!
16. Bánh Xèo – Crispy & Savory Vietnamese Crêpes / Pancakes
Bánh xèo, literally meaning “sizzling cake,” is a Vietnamese savory fried pancake.
It’s made of rice flour and water batter filled with slivers of fatty pork, shrimp, yellow onions, and bean sprouts.

For best results, be sure to use good quality rice flour and cook the pancakes on a hot griddle or skillet.
