When it comes to gluten-free cooking and baking, almond flour recipes are hard to beat. This low-carb flour is an ideal option for keto and paleo followers who want all the flavor and texture of traditional foods without the grains that can make you feel bloated and foggy.
Almond flour recipes add valuable benefits to your meals, like protein, trace minerals, and vitamins. This flour is “suspect” on the Bulletproof Diet due to its lectin content and potential for mold contamination — but you can still enjoy it once in a while for special occasions or carb re-feeds.
Use almond flour recipes to cook just about anything — including bread, crackers, cookies, and more:
