If you follow a paleo diet, but you love baked goods, chances are you’re somewhat familiar with almond flour. For people like yourself, almond flour recipes are somewhat of a saving grace.
This nutrient-packed, gluten-free flour allows us to have our (paleo) cake and eat it too. But let’s be honest, the stuff isn’t cheap (compared to regular old flour that you can find in the baking aisle) and there’s a learning curve to be able to bake with it.
Thankfully, there are a lot of people on the internet who want you to be able to whip up delicious foods with almond flour – while taking the difficulty out of it. Seriously – if you google “almond flour recipes” you won’t believe the amount of content you’ll find out there.
That’s why we thought it might be a good idea to do some of the work for you. We’re going to round up some of our favorite almond flour recipes from the blog, so you don’t even have to go digging for them.
