Features: Almond flour is the most common and most widely used low-carb powder. It is made by peeling and grinding almonds into powder. It also has a texture similar to low protein flour.
Uses:
Mostly used for baking biscuits, cakes, and even bread, it is also the main ingredient for making macarons.
Substitutes:
You can use plain flour and low protein flour directly to make bread and cakes. If you are making macaron, you can use peanut powder or hazelnut powder, but the flavor will be changed.
Notes:
The almond flour used for baking is definitely not the kind of stinky white almond powder that we used to know is for drinking. Make no mistake! Almond flour for baking is light brown. Almond flour contains more fat and is easily oxidized and rancidified , so it is best to store it in the refrigerator in a sealed place.
