Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use almond flour for?

Almond flour can be used in everything from sweet baked goods like cookies and cakes to savory dishes like casseroles. Learn more about types of gluten-free flours and how best to use them.

What’s the trick to baking with almond flour?

The trick to using almond flour is to understand that it doesn’t bind recipes like regular flour will. You need something like eggs in the mix to hold it all together.

Can all-purpose flour be replaced with almond flour?

No. These two are not interchangeable and in doing so, you’ll have recipes that fall apart as almond flour doesn’t hold together the way a typical flour does.

What is a good binding agent for almond flour?

Eggs are the best binding agent when baking with almond flour. If you have an egg allergy, xanthan gum or tapioca starch can help a bit but it won’t be the same and is very recipe-dependent.
