Almond Flour
Why almond flour? I am asked this question at least once a day. Almond flour is highly nutritious, easy to use and readily available. For those of us watching our glycemic index, almond flour is high in protein and low in sugars.
Unlike other alternatives to wheat flour, almond flour is moist and delicious. After having tested just about every gluten-free flour out there, I can save you a lot of time and hassle when I say that almond flour is far superior to other flours in terms of taste, nutrition and ease-of-use.
In all of my recipes I use blanched almond flour. They will not work with unblanched, in fact, they will be miserable failures, so I do not recommend even trying unblanched.
To purchase blanched almond flour, click on the picture, or do your own online search.
I avoid purchasing almond flour retail at all costs! It is more than $15 per pound in the grocery store. If you purchase it online it is generally less than half of that including shipping. Yes, still expensive, but packed with protein and flavor, so for me, worth the cost.
I store my almond flour in gallon or half-gallon glass mason jars
Never miss a recipe!

Hi Elana, Have you ever made Brownies with almond flour? I’m looking for a Brownie recipe made with almond flour. I made your DF chocolate chip cookies. They are to die for. The best chocolate chip cookie I ever ate. Thanks Elana.

Janie,
The closet thing I can offer right now is my Almond Butter Blondie recipe.
I will add your Brownie recipe request to the little post it above my desk :-)
In the meantime you may want to ask my other readers in the forums.
