When you first decide to go keto it may seem impossible, but thanks to many people willing to share their ideas and recipes online it’s never been easier to follow this lifestyle if that’s what you want. One thing most people miss when they start eating according to the keto principles are baked goods, and if you pick these low-carb flour alternatives you won’t miss them at all!

Almond Flour

Almond flour is perfect for making all kinds of baked goods, gravy, or pretty much anything that requires all-purpose flour. It’s made from blanched almonds and it’s high in healthy fats, magnesium, and Vitamin E.

Chickpea Flour

Chickpea flour definitely contains carbohydrates, but it’s still well-balanced and has plenty of nutrients and fiber. It’s best used in savory recipes.

Mash tofu in a bowl with a fork until smooth 2. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well, the batter should resemble a pancake batter (can use a food processor) 3. Heat a non-stick pan with a bit of oil 4. Use a round spoon, scoop one tablespoon at a time and drop onto the heated pan. Flatten with the spoon. 5.
