Almond Flour

Almond flour is one of the best gluten-free flour alternatives, made from ground almonds. It's full of good-for-you nutrients and high in protein. It's also low-carb and has a pleasantly sweet flavor. In most recipes where regular wheat flour is used, you can sub almond flour with a 1:1 ratio, although it is likely to produce denser and flatter results. You can also use it as an alternative to breadcrumbs. Note: almond flour is not the same thing as almond meal, so do not use them interchangeably in your recipes.
