What can you bake with what you have?

By Gluten Free Chart editors · Updated 2026-07-15 · ~2 min read

Gluten Free Chart has 10 recipes – but which ones can you bake with what's already in your kitchen right now? Instead of scrolling every recipe, tick the ingredients you have and let the tool below do the matching for you.

What can you bake with what you have?

Tick what you have in the pantry – we'll show which recipes you can bake now, and which you're one ingredient away from.

    Matching is based on each recipe's main ingredients. Pantry staples (salt, pepper, oil, water and ice) are always assumed available, and amounts aren't considered. Always check the full recipe before you shop or cook.

    Here's how it works: tick your ingredients above and we compare them against the main ingredients in each of our 10 recipes, then rank them by how many you already have. The ones you can bake right away rise to the top; when you're a single item short, you'll see exactly which one – so a quick shop turns a 'maybe' into tonight's bake.

    Short on ingredients? These are among the easiest to start with: All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend (rice flour, starch and gum), Gluten-Free Pizza Dough (powder, gum and sugar) and Fudgy Gluten-Free Brownies (butter, chocolate and sugar). Everyday staples such as salt, oil, water and ice are always assumed on hand, so they never count against you.

    • Sugar
    • Egg
    • Butter
    • Vanilla
    • Flour
    • Gum
    • Baking soda
    • Baking powder
    • Chocolate
    • Milk

    A few tips: add what you have generously – if you've got a close substitute (say a different flour or citrus), tick it and check the recipe for swaps. Amounts aren't part of the match, so always open the full recipe to confirm quantities and method before you bake.

    How does the recipe matcher work?

    Tick what you have at home. We compare it against the main ingredients in each of our 10 recipes and rank them by how many you already have – the ones you can bake now come first.

    Do salt, oil and water count?

    Yes. Everyday pantry staples (salt, pepper, oil, water and ice) are assumed available, so they never count as something you're missing.

    Does it account for amounts?

    No – the matcher only looks at which ingredients a recipe needs, not how much. Always open the full recipe to check quantities before you start.

    Which recipes are easiest to start with?

    With just a handful of basics you're close to All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend (rice flour, starch and gum), Gluten-Free Pizza Dough (powder, gum and sugar) and Fudgy Gluten-Free Brownies (butter, chocolate and sugar). Tick a few ingredients above and the shortest shopping lists float to the top.
