12 Healthy & Tasty Recipes that Use Almond Flour

This Trendy Ingredient is a Tasty Addition to Many Recipes

In recent years, there has been a shift towards eating healthier, and looking for alternative ways to enjoy what you want in a better-for-you way. This has included foods in general, in addition to ingredients, and flour is no exception. Almond flour has been a trendy ingredient as of late since it is a bit healthier than standard white flour.

Here are some health benefits of almond flour:

• It is low-carb and ideal for those who want to limit carbs or who are on a carb-limiting diet
• It is more nutrient-dense than white or coconut flours
• Less phytic acid than other flours, making it rich in nutrients
• Loaded with vitamin E and other antioxidants, which could reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease and other serious health issues

Since almond flour is all the rage as an alternative, check out these 10+ foolproof recipes that make the most out of this ingredient.
