Read More »Many low-carb or keto recipes use almond flour, but if a person doesn’t have it on hand there are suitable alternatives. Other nut or seed flours work well in many recipes. People can also substitute wheat flour if their diet permits. Share on Pinterest Catherine Falls/Getty Images Manufacturers make almond flour from blanched almonds without skin, which they grind into a powder that is flour-like in texture. People sometimes confuse almond flour with almond meal. People make almond meal by grinding up almonds with their husks still on, which produces a product with a coarser texture than almond flour. Almond flour is low in carbohydrates and higher in fats, making it a popular ingredient in low-carb or keto recipes. Additionally, it is gluten-free, so people eating a gluten-free diet find it useful for baking. Almond flour is usually preferable to almond meal for making baked goods, as the finer texture is more suited to helping foods rise during baking. If someone doesn’t have almond flour, or if they are allergic to almonds, they can use a substitute to make their recipe, but may have to adapt the ingredients. The following is a list of suitable flours to substitute for almond flour. The article also looks at the health benefits of individual flours and how to use them in cooking and baking. Wheat flour People can use wheat flour to replace almond flour, if it fits with their dietary preferences and needs. Wheat flour and all-purpose flour are higher in carbohydrates than almond flour and are fat-free. Therefore, wheat flour is unsuitable for those following a paleo or keto diet. Additionally, wheat flour contains gluten, so it is not suitable for those following a gluten-free diet. White flour is a refined carbohydrate and can cause a spike in blood glucose. The sugar in whole wheat flour is absorbed more slowly. Choosing whole grains like wheat flour rather than refined grains like white flour can help someone maintain their energy and manage their weight. Wheat flour and all-purpose flour are suitable for most baking recipes, but people may need to adapt other ingredients when substituting them for almond flour. Oat flour People can buy oat flour from a store or make it by finely grinding rolled oats in a food processor or blender. Oat flour is lighter than almond flour and can make baked goods light and fluffy with a subtle nutty flavor. Compared to almond flour, oat flour is higher in carbohydrates but lower in both calories and fat. Oats are a good source of soluble fiber. A 2017 study indicated that beta-glucan in oats helps lower cholesterol and the risk of diabetes. Additionally, the study suggested oats have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Although oats are naturally gluten-free, the manufacturing processes can contaminate them with gluten. Therefore people with gluten intolerance should purchase oats that are specifically labeled gluten-free.

Furthermore, they provide essential nutrients such as magnesium, calcium, and vitamin E. A 2020 review suggested that sunflower seeds have many beneficial properties, including: antioxidant

Someone can either buy ground flaxseed or grind whole seeds into flour in a coffee grinder or blender. It is best to store ground flaxseed in the refrigerator, as due to its high fat content, it turns rancid quickly. Flaxseed flour is higher in carbohydrates than almond flour, with 28.9 g carbohydrates per 100 g of seeds. A 2019 review indicated that flaxseed might have beneficial effects on cardiovascular disease and cancer. Flaxseed is also a source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids and may help relieve constipation.
