Ok to start you off here are a few ideas
Peanut flour makes a nice coating for chicken! Add spices,herbs etc or thickener for soups or sauces and gravies,or add to smoothies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chocolate Peanut Flour Cake
2 cups peanut flour
2 cups Splenda ( I used 1/2 t Sweetsfree)
1/2 cup Dutched cocoa
1 cup polydextrose
1 1/2 t baking powder
2 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup cream
1/2 cup sugar free syrup of choice
1/2 cup oil (I used coconut)
2 t vanilla
Put dry ingredients into mixing bowl. Mix all wet ingredients in separate bowl. Combine. Pour into 9 x 13 pan or two layer cakes. I used silicon, so I didn't bother to grease and flour the pan. Bake at 350. It's about 15-20 minutes for the layers, and 30-35 minutes for the bigger pan.
--------------------------------------------------------------
These were sent to me by a friend, I dont know where she got them from
Peanut Flour “Nutella”
1 teaspoon peanut butter
1 heaping tablespoon peanut flour
About 1 tablespoon milk or other liquid
1-2 teaspoons of cocoa, to taste
½ teaspoon or so of sweetener, to taste
1. Mix everything together. You made want to add more liquid to thin spread.
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Truffles
1 tablespoon peanut butter
¼ cup peanut flour
about 2 tablespoons milk or other liquid
1-2 tablespoon sugar, to taste
2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
Mix peanut butter, peanut flour, milk, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cocoa together until it has the consistency of cookie dough. You may want to add more milk or cocoa or sugar to adjust. Taste it – there is no raw egg in it, so it is like eating cookie dough with abandon!
Roll into small balls. Wetting hands with a bit of water helps to keep it from sticking.
Roll balls in the remaining 1 tablespoon of cocoa until completely coated.
Chill for about 3 minutes to firm up, or eat immediately for softer truffles.
Store in the refrigerator, Makes about 8 truffles
Asian Peanut Sauce with Peanut Flour
1 tablespoon peanut butter
½ cup peanut flour, sifted
2-3 tablespoons water
½ teaspoon grated ginger
1 – 2 small garlic cloves, pressed through garlic press
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
sweetener equivalent to 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Mix peanut butter, peanut flour and water together to form a thin paste.
Add remaining ingredients, stirring to break up any clumps. For a smoother sauce, throw into food processor

Grilled Beef With Peanut Flour / Kyinkyinga
Serves: 4
The recipe below is complete except for the ingredient amounts (_). Since the recipes offered at DVO.com are brand name recipes, our publisher partners require us to account for each recipe distributed. To get the entire recipe click Request Recipe below. This is the best Grilled Beef With Peanut Flour / Kyinkyinga recipe on the web!!
WEST AFRICA
Advance Preparation: 2 to 3 hours for marinating the meat
Special Equipment: 4 long metal skewers or 8 short bamboo skewers, soaked for 1 hour in cold water to cover and drained
I first learned of kyinkyinga (pronounced "chin-chin-ga") from an anthropologist who spent several years studying tribes in West Africa. When cooking beef, they hang long strips of it on vertical skewers and cook it upright in front of a campfire. The peanut flour used to coat the meat adds an unexpected crunch and sweet nutty flavor that counterpoints the fiery chile marinade on the beef.
The only remotely difficult aspect to this dish is finding peanut flour. If you live in a city with a West African community, you may be able to find it at a West African grocery store or sometimes at an Asian market. If not, you can order it by mail. In a pinch, you can easily grind dry roasted peanuts with a little flour in a food processor.
For the sake of convenience, I cook the meat kebab style. As always, I offer a range of chiles. Four will give you a really hot kyinkyinga.
FOR THE BEEF AND MARINADE:
_ 1/2-2 lb beef sirloin steaks, boneless, cut into 1-inch cubes
_ onion, large, cut into chunks
_ green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into chunks
_ clove garlic, peeled
_ to 8 jalapeno chiles, , or 1 to 4 scotch bonnet chiles, coarsely chopped (for a milder kyinkyinga, seed the chiles)
_ tbs ginger, chopped fresh
_ 1/2 tsp salt
_ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
___ c peanut oil
FOR THE KEBABS:
_ green bell peppers, large, stemmed, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
_ onion, large, cut inot 1-inch pieces
_ 1/2 c flour, peanut (see Note)
1. Place the beef in a large baking dish and set it aside while you prepare the marinade.
2. Combine the onion, bell pepper, garlic, chiles, ginger, salt, and pepper in a food processor and finely chop. Add the oil and continue processing to a smooth purée. Add the mixture to the beef and toss thoroughly to coat. Cover and let marinate, in the refrigerator, for 2 to 3 hours.
3. Preheat the grill to high.
4. Remove the beef from the marinade and thread it onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper and onion. Place the flour on a large plate and roll the kebabs in it so that all sides are generously covered.
5. When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Arrange the skewers on the hot grate. Grill, turning the kebabs with tongs, until the beef is cooked to taste, 2 to 3 minutes per side (8 to 12 minutes in all), for medium-rare. Serve immediately.
Serves 4
Note: If you don’t have peanut flour, grind 1 1/4 cups dry-roasted peanuts with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour as fine as possible in a food processor, running the machine in short bursts. Take care not to overgrind; peanut flour quickly becomes peanut butter.

You could try the ham&cheese muffins I posted on this thread a long time ago to see if yoou like them:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19619&p=179198&hilit=ham+and+cheese+muffins#p179198
I use almond flour and they come to only about 3.5g carb per muffin I think.
