I love Honeyville Blanched Almond Meal Flour! Love it! If you haven't tried almond meal, then consider purshasing The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. That should be sufficient inspiration. Elana has the best recipes and it was via this book that I discovered almond meal. Though not a true celiac, I do limit my gluten intake for various reasons. However, I'm not inclined to purchase or injest many of the flour varieties that are advertised for gluten free cooking. I like simple and easy and delicious. Honeyville is a high quality product and the company is excellent with customer service. Consdering price: Unless you have a very large family, this flour goes a very long way. I'm a single person who creates food "presents" for friends. I keep some of the flour in the fridge, and the rest in the freezer, removing it just prior to use. I find the cost to be extremely reasonable since it seems to go further than white flour would. Also, this flour is all protein. So healthy. White flour is not all protein. Not so healthy for many reasons. Try the recipes in Elana's book. Definitely try the Honeyville Blanched Almond Meal Flour.
Delicious, Healthy Alternative to Flour
We eat paleo in our household, and we frequently use this almond flour for all of our baked goods. We also cook with it from time to time. It's great for baking just about anything, and I like to use it to coat chicken or fish with if we're in the mood for something with "breading". It's a wonderful substitute. I've been gluten-free for several years, and I much prefer this to rice flour. I also prefer it over coconut flour. It's a healthy alternative to regular flour as well, for those of you who aren't gluten-sensitive but are looking for a more nutritious flour option. It doesn't taste particularly nutty - I'm actually not a big fan of almonds on their own, but when this is used in recipes, it doesn't have an intense almond flavor. It really blends well with whatever other flavors, spices, or seasonings you're incorporating. It just acts as a great base for so many recipes. It stays fresh for a long time. My only slight complaint would be that the bag does not always seal properly. We use a clip to seal it. Attached is a delicious apple cinnamon cake that I baked with using this almond flour - as well as my famous pumpkin bars, which never fail to come out perfect, and our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.
