I too have an wheat intolerance.

I've heard of ppl using millet flour, but I havent personally tried it
as yet.

I've been using mostly besan (chick pea/garbanzo beans) flour for a lot
of things, such as my hyrbid muffin/quiches, and for my 'special' brownies.

I also use coconut flour, but it tends to be a little on the moist side,
I've found. I plan to try a mix of coconut and besan flours on the next
batch of brownies, until I reach just the right level of moisture I'm
looking for.

Have you tried almond flour? That is another worthwhile choice, you may
find this site very useful: www.elanaspantry.com
