Almond Flour: My Favorite Grain-Free Flour!

February 5, 2020 By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Super-Fine Almond Flour is my favorite flour for vegan, gluten-free, and grain-free baking! Also perfect for anyone paleo, keto, and oil-free. 

Almond Flour: My Favorite Grain-Free Flour by Flora & Vino

If you’ve been here a while you know that almond flour is a staple on my baking ingredients list.

When I started baking vegan and gluten-free baking, I was on the hunt for a flour replacement that wasn’t *always* oats.

That’s when I decided to try almond flour.

I was skeptical at first, because how can finely processed almonds *really* be a great substitute for regular flour?

Well, all I can say is that it’s magical.

Almond flour adds rich flavor, healthy fats, protein, and moisture to your healthified recipes.

My most favorite almond flour is Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour.

It’s light, fluffy, nutty, and extremely versatile in its uses.

For the most part, I use almond flour as an even substitute for regular flour when creating my recipes.

If you’re looking for a less moist batter, try doing a mix of almond and oat flour— my signature move!

Bob’s Red Mill has a Super-Fine Almond Flour made from blanched whole almonds that has a golden hue and a Super-Fine Almond Flour made from un-blanched whole almonds that has a slightly speckled textures look.

I usually gravitate towards the former in my recipes because it mimics the appearance of regular flour so looks more attractive in baked goods!

If you’re making a deeper toned chocolate recipe, though, you won’t be able to tell the difference.

If you’ve browsed the blog some you also know that I love my baked goods to be oil-free when possible!

Almond flour definitely lends itself to oil-free baking because the natural fats and oils from the blended almonds are released during recipe creation. It’s also great for anyone grain-free, paleo, and keto.

I always grab a couple bags when I’m at Whole Foods to keep on hand for recipe testing!

I even have a special place in my cupboard to house my Almond Flour stash and when it starts to get low I know it’s time for another trip to Whole Foods to replenish.

Luckily, Whole Foods is only 10 minutes away from my house and I can make a beeline for the baking aisle. 🙂

And hey, almond flour isn’t just for baking!

Try it in no-bake recipes, and savory entrees, too.

Here are some of my favorite ways to use Bob’s Red Mill Almond flour:

NO BAKE RECIPES:

Raw Vegan “Twix” Bars

Vegan Salted Snickers Bars

Vegan Toasted Coconut Samoas

SWEET BAKED GOODS:

Almond Flour Cashew Butter Snickerdoodles

Raspberry Beet Almond Flour Cookies

Flourless Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies

SAVORY RECIPES:

Hi, I'm Lauren!
You can find me in the kitchen making healthy and creative plant-based dishes with whole foods, on my yoga mat stretching it out, or curled up with a good book and a glass of red. Searching for balanced living in an unbalanced world. I live it, eat it, drink it, write it, photograph it, and share it all here.

Can we make Soba Saturday a thing? 🥰 🍜🍳Th Can we make Soba Saturday a thing? 🥰 🍜🍳This CASHEW BUTTER SOBA NOODLE STIR FRY is new on the blog today. This simple stir-fry is made with buckwheat soba noodles and tender-crisp vegetables in a creamy cashew butter sauce. It’s perfect for a quick and cozy plant-based dinner! 👏

This recipe’s foundation is made with @edenfoods Buckwheat Soba Noodles. //#sponsored If you’re gluten-free like me, you might have mistakenly avoided buckwheat believing that it is a type of wheat. However, despite the name, buckwheat isn’t a wheat at all, and is actually naturally gluten-free! 😱
Buckwheat protein is awesome because it has all essential amino acids. @edenfoods Buckwheat Soba Noodles are made from only two ingredients: 100% whole grain organic buckwheat and purified water! They’re fantastic paired with tender-crisp veggies and a dreamy cashew butter sauce. 🥰
