All oats are gluten free. If a recipe calls or allows for oats then it is perfectly fine.

More thoughts:

If you seriously need to avoid gluten, read the labeling on the product carefully. Some oats will be processed in a facility that also handles gluten-containing grains and there could be cross-contamination. If the label states that it is 'gluten free', then it is likely that the firm takes steps to ensure no cross-contamination.

If you are asking about using oats as a direct replacement for gluten-containing grain in baking, you might be disappointed with the results. Many gluten-free baked goods recipes also use some type of gum (like xanthan or guar) to give a more familiar final product.

Can a wheat free diet eat oats?

If you have a wheat allergy you can eat Oats that are specifically labeled GLUTEN FREE. You SHOULD NOT eat oats that are NOT specifically labeled "gluten free" as these oats contain wheat. This is because oats that are not gluten free use the same equipment to be processed as is used on wheat. Gluten free oats only use equipment for processing that NEVER touches wheat. Therefore they are safe to eat and are not contaminated with wheat.

Can you use baking powder and xanthan gum and baking soda in a cake?

You can use any or all of these in cake baking. You cannot necessarily use them interchangeably and expect identical results. It is quite usual to use both baking soda and baking powder in the same cake, especially if the recipe calls for an acid ingredient like fruit which will activate the baking soda, but in this case the volume of baking powder has usually been reduced. Baking powder mixes usually contain a small proportion of baking soda anyway. Xanthan gum is most commonly used in making gluten-free products. Gluten is the protein found in flour. Heat, as in baking, toughens protein. Raising agents like baking soda and baking powder give off little bubbles of carbon dioxide during the baking process and these bubbles are held in place by the toughening gluten, rather like little balloons being blown up - this is what causes a cake to rise and hold its shape. Xanthan gum is used in a similar way to add thickness and volume to gluten-free products. If you are wanting to add these raising agents to make a gluten-free product then read the label on the baking powder - it often contains gluten.


How much baking powder to use with gluten free plain plour?

When using gluten-free plain flour, a general guideline is to use about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder per cup of flour. This amount helps provide the necessary lift and texture since gluten-free flours often require more leavening than traditional wheat flour. Always check the specific recipe for any adjustments, as different gluten-free blends may vary in their absorption and performance.
