I have been wondering if any body has answers to these two questions.

(1)........Does anybody know the carbohydrate value of Peanuts ?

(2)........Can anybody suggest a suitable substitute for flour, which I can use in my baking.?

I hope someone has answers.

Google has a handy Carb Calculator (for all foods)

Just enter Peanut carbs into the search bar and it gives you options of Peanut type and portions to choose from
 
I use the book Carbs & Cals (Amazon) and find it invaluable.

Roasted peanuts have 1g carbs per 10g peanuts which is 1 tablespoonful.
2g carbs per 30g roasted peanuts
 
I tend to use a mix of Ground Almonds and normal flour in my baking as I can still tolerate flour in small amounts and almonds, like many flour substitutes, don't have the binding effect that flour has. Some mention using Coconut flour as well, but I can taste even a smigin of coconut and i can't stand the taste, I don't like the taste of almonds normally but I find I can mask it with cocoa powder or spices. One thing to remember that while almonds are low carb they are higher in calories than flour.

Also remember that it isn't necessarily a straight one for one swap flour to substitute, I find I am better working in volume (cups) rather than weight (grams) so I can end up with some rather unusual recipies. You might also find that baking with alternatives to flour mean that your mixtures have to be wetter to give the same cooked texture.

I would suggest that you spend some time looking through the food and nutrition forums there are plenty of recipes there that might interest you.

Yep, the Carbs & Cals is brilliant just about every carb you need to know. You could try coconut flour as a substitute. Wish I hadn't seen this now as I fancy some peanuts now.:)
 
Carbs and cals and fat secret. Be careful with fat secret though as users enter the data and the carbs are often wrong
Tonight I put some pasta in there fatsecret said 23g, when u checked packet it was 57g!!!
