I am having a problem maybe someone in the group can help. I have tried several recipes with almond flour and I just cannot stand the taste and consistency. I'm not alone, nobody in my family can stand it either. Does anyone have any other suggestions to try to stay low carb / Keto? I use coconut flour as well, but I know that you can't just use coconut flour alone a lot of the times because it absorbs a lot of liquid.

    Almond flour makes cooking recipes come out super dense and quite dull. Bob Red Mill's has a Low Carb Baking mix. I don't do low carb, but I did it a while ago, and used it, its still very dense but tastes okay.

    There is Flax meal, coconut flour, and other seed and nut flours.

    I just suggest avoiding recipes that use flour. It will just never taste the same.

    Nothing will give you the texture that wheat flour will give you. Bulk Barn has a variety of gluten free flours you may try.

    Second vote@Bob's Red Mill. King Arthur's flour is hit and miss, with the weather getting hotter, I find that alternative flours act up a lot more.

    What are you trying to make? Agree with Francl27 too, that thinking to make substitutes just will NOT taste the same.

    ** You could use the Italian cake technique using part alternative flour and part egg whites with a soft peak.

    A way of eating is difficult if it must pretend to be a different way of eating.

    I have made muffins with almond, coconut, flax seed, and plain old regular flour. I've found for taste regular old flour is best when it comes to taste and marginally higher in calories or carbs in the big picture
