Almond flour alternatives.

Hi,
I occasionally do a little baking and when I do I have always used almond flour.
I don’t really like the taste it gives my bakes.
Any suitably low carb alternatives that are good for baking.
I’m also not a massive fan of coconut flour.
Thank you.
 
The panda flour is really good, I’ve searched for years & tried to replicate a good pastry with modifying recipes & starting from scratch with my own & never managed to find a satisfactory replacement.

It does have coconut flour in it but you can’t detect it. I bought the 3 sample sizes to try first. I got the flour and two cake mixes that I’ve still to use. I’ve since had the suet flour & that’s a game changer for me. I only really want it for pastry & dumplings as I’m not a big cake or sweet stuff eater. With the suet flour you don’t need to add the butter & lard to make pastry so it’s very quick

You can’t really tell the difference in regular & this low carb pastry. Haven’t used it for anything else though so can’t comment on cakes & bread - they do a bread mix too I think

Crikey I thought almond flour was expensive!

It goes a long way because of the ingredients, have a look at the recipes on the site - in my opinion it works out cheaper than the almond four

I'm a regular user of Panda Flour -there is also a recently added variation available for bread making - golden panda. This is a mix with no coconut flour and it makes a lighter low carb gluten free loaf as it doesn't require as much liquid to form a dough - coconut flour needs more water and bread can be denser. I now regularly make high protein low carb bread just adding egg whites, olive oil and water to the golden bread mix. I use standard panda flour for all my other bakes. It is expensive but low carb ingredients are and I used to waste a lot when experimenting whereas using panda flour and the free recipes on the site and watching a few videos I get good results.
 
Bamboo flour! ?
 
We use Panda Flour all the time now it’s a better taste than Almond flour and as others have said.

Yes, it may look expensive but for the quantity you use in a recipe you only need about 30g of Panda to 100g of almond or standard flour you need for the recipe

I have no experience of using it, but Lupin flour

Lupin flour is okay but it can have a gritty texture and you may need another flour with it, bamboo? Not sure as its years since I have used it
