This is a great flour alternative for grain-free, gluten-free cooking/baking. It is also very low carb! Blanched almond flour is made with almonds that have had the skin removed. This produces a lighter and finer flour than unblanched almond flour, which includes the almond skin. Because of the almond flour’s unique consistency, I do not suggest swapping it with any other kind of gluten free flour in this recipe.
