So, there are plenty of alternatives to breadcrumbs out there, but we get that if you’re on a health kick you’re going to want to know which are the healthiest alternatives.
Rolled oats is one option, but they can be a tad bland, so if you wanted to use them why not add in a little seasoning as you go.
Parmesan cheese is another option, it can be easily grated to match the fine powder texture of store bought breadcrumbs.
Or nuts are also a great option to consider. They may be high in fat, but they are far lower in carbs than breadcrumbs. You could use almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, and chia and flax seeds…
All you would have to do is pop them into your food processor to transform them into a nice powdery consistency. But remember nut flours burn quicker than bread crumbs, so do try to keep an eye on your cooking.
Desiccated coconut is a nice option too. It’s one of the best substitutes for breadcrumbs in terms of texture, and is so lightweight it will adhere beautifully to an egg-washed surface.
