Best Xanthan Gum Substitutes for Baking

No xanthan gum? These binders keep gluten-free baked goods from crumbling.

1. Psyllium Husk

Use 2x as much psyllium husk

Great binder for gluten-free bread — adds fiber too.

1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water per ¼ tsp xanthan gum

Natural binder — adds slight nutty flavor.

Replace 1:1

Works in cookies and cakes — less effective in bread.
