I’d be interested in your thoughts on baking with almond flour. I tried it and found the texture and flavour unpalatable☹️

I bake using almond flour and I detest almonds in their raw state!!! I find it fine and I cannot detect any taste of almonds in the baked goods. The recipes I use are keto/low carb so use almond flour rather than me replacing normal flour with it. my go to bakes are scones, brownies and chaffles.

Almond "flour" is just ground almonds by a fancy name. It won't react like wheat flour does so you can't just swap it into recipes. And low carb baking uses artificial sweeteners, each of which has different sweetness strengths, varying after tastes and can't be swapped one for one with sugar or other sweetners.
What are you wanting to bake? Might be able to point you to good one.:)
