Tried this recipe yesterday, the BEST low-carb cakes I've made yet. I put some pecans in there too:

I put a tablespoon of dough in a cupcake and that amounts to about 6g of carbs

Got a batch of these in the oven as we speak!

Quick question, is there any reason I can't keep using the Waitrose ground almonds compared to the others linked below?

Difference in carbs per 100g

Waitrose (finely ground in a machine) - 7.3g
Almond flour - 20g

Hi Max,
I used ground almonds from Tesco, 6.5g carbs per 100g. I'd go for the lower carb option. Have you tried any - how did you find them?

I looked on my Carbs & Cals app on my phone and it said 20g carbs per 100g for ground almonds. I use ground almonds a lot for breakfast cereal and buy them from Sainsburys/Asda/Tesco and the packets say 6 - 8g carbs per 100g.
