4 Healthy Alternatives to White Flour You Should Try

Almond flour

Almond flour is naturally gluten-free as it’s made from only finely ground blanched almonds (or from your leftover homemade almond milk pulp!). It’s a good source of protein and also grain-free, making it helpful for those who stick to a paleo diet. Almonds are high in vitamin E (known for being a powerful antioxidant) and calcium (notorious for its contribution to good bone health).

 

Coconut flour

Coconut flour is made from coconut pulp that has been dried and ground and is another gluten-free, low-carb option. It’s a good source of fiber which helps you stay full and also helps keep your gut healthy. It’s higher in saturated fat than other flour options and is known for its ability to absorb liquids, so it’s best used when seeking a denser texture in a recipe and in combination with other flours like almond.
