First time I used almond flour in cookie recipes. Its a low carb, healthier alternative for my diabetic dad who loves cookies. We just loved the texture and taste. Will definitely buy more!
This is a staple in my frig...

I really loved this for baking. I put it in cookies a lot to replace the chopped nuts. I also have rolled cookies in the almond flour before baking. I use it in place of some of the flour called for in quick breads. Very good! I plan on using it in pie crusts and bear claw filling.

This almond flour totally MADE my new Danish rice pudding recipe!

(Adaptation from Risalamande or Ris a la mande, a traditional Danish holiday rice dessert.) Heat 2 cups skim milk, add 3 tablespoons tapioca, 1/2 cup rice, 1/3 cup raisins, 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, a dash of salt, stir frequently while bringing to gentle boil. Reduce heat to barely a simmer, cook for 45 minutes or until rice is completely tender. Remove from heat and fold in 1/2 cup almond flour. OK to serve with cream or whipped cream but without is lower calorie.

Well, it's still a work-in-progress. I tasted the pudding prior to installation of the NOW Foods Almond Flour and it was sort of blah. Then after stirring in the almond flour and !YES! - it gained an absolutely wonderful nutty flavor. The traditional recipe calls for almond slivers but that isn't what I wanted. This is. BTW the traditional recipe also calls for a fruit sauce topping, usually cherry. But I'm working on higher protein, lower carbohydrate diet.

I keep this in the fridge because I know that nuts with their high oil content can go rancid. Please note this shipment of flour tastes really fresh. I'm happy to report that it is dated "Best by 9/11/12". Plenty of time to enjoy its nuttiness.

I make waffles with about 1/4 of the mix being this flour and they taste great & are healthy (with grapeseed oil).

There isn't much to say about almond flour. It's almond flour. It works like almond flour does, which is what I needed. This stuff lasted me awhile, so I can't complain about the price.
