    Has anyone done fried zucchini with either of these? I love fried zucchini sticks...if this means I can have them again it would be rad :p

    There are various recipes for zucchini fries at the like in parmesan, baked - or almond flour, etc. Most are tossed in a fat and coated and baked...

    This may be a silly question, but are almond flour and almond meal the same thing?

    Almond flour tends to be a finer grind, but yes, essentially the same thing. Watch for which have the skins and wich don't. Some folks find they react to the skins.

    I had some prawns, dunked them in melted butter, roĺled in shredded coconut, lightly fried. Yum.

    Ok so what would your top pick be for pancakes, Almond or coconut flour? My recipe calls for 32g of plain flour, Are the ratios the same for A and C flour?

    I have and use both, but find low carb baking a bit of a chore no matter which I'm using. I can make some pretty good pancakes with either, and mug cakes with coconut flour. Bread uses almond flour, although I'll be trying it with coconut flour soon.

    What mug cake recipe do you use?
    I bought coconut flour when I first started keto but haven't used it yet. (Xylitol too, for that matter.) I'm lazy and mostly haven't ended up feeling a need for baked goods. Sweets, yes, but then I usually go with a dark chocolate square, cream cheese clouds, SF Jell-O, etc.
