Make your own at home, it’s cost effective
Almond flour or almond meal is an essential pantry staple on the ketogenic diet – it goes into everything from keto bread to low-carb pancakes – but it can also be expensive to buy. Here’s a way to make it easily and cheaply at home.
Make a wide variety of recipes with almond flour
There are so many recipes that call for almond flour on a keto diet. It’s especially great when you want to treat yourself to dishes that you miss from your regular carb eating. If you crave a pizza, there is our fathead pizza recipe, if you miss your sandwiches you can make our Keto bread or if you miss desserts then try the almond flour chocolate mug cake. The almond flour has even been use to make our Keto dosa. So it’s always good to make a big batch of almond flour and stock up.
