CHAFFLES WITH ALMOND FLOUR



Chaffles with Almond Flour image

Chaffles are an overnight sensation in the low carb/keto world. Adding almond flour gives them a more traditional waffle texture and helps get rid of any eggy taste. Seriously, try them, they're delicious! I use an inexpensive mini waffle maker (such as Dash® Mini Maker Waffle) which produces perfect 4-inch chaffles. So many ways to use chaffles, the sky's the limit!

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups almond flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Beat the butter and brown sugar in another bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

ALMOND FLOUR



Almond Flour image

I use almond flour with many of my recipes but it is very costly. I want to experiment with a few inspirations for the holidays therefore decided to make my own almond flour. I had a huge bag that I purchased a while ago to make a nut crunch. I used my food processor but I bet you can do the same with a coffee grinder as well. My advice would be to pulse it because I fear if you over blend you will end up with almond butter. It came out perfectly so now off to cooking land!

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 cup almonds, or as needed

AMAZING ALMOND FLOUR PANCAKES (GLUTEN-FREE AND PALEO-FRIENDLY)



Amazing Almond Flour Pancakes (Gluten-Free and Paleo-Friendly) image

While trying many of the grain free pancake ideas out there, I discovered that many pancake recipes are just too 'eggy' or include bananas in the recipe. A lot of the recipes resulted in pancakes that were too flat and broke apart when flipping. I wanted a recipe that was like the Aunt Jemima® pancakes I grew up with: delicious and fluffy. After much experimentation with recipes and reading forum comments, I finally put together something reminiscent of childhood quality pancakes. Top with maple syrup and fresh fruit.

ALMOND FLOUR CRAB CAKES WITH LEMON AIOLI



Almond Flour Crab Cakes with Lemon Aioli image

Provided by Catherine Saint Louis

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 12 crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 cups ground almond meal, plus 2/3 cup for dredging
4 scallions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped dill
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 pound lump crab meat, picked over
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 to 3/4 cup canola or grapeseed oil for frying
2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2/3 to 1 cup grapeseed oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Make the crab cakes: Whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, egg, egg yolk and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl. Mix in 2 cups of almond meal, scallions and herbs until thoroughly combined. Gently fold in crab. Season with salt and white pepper, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the aioli: Combine egg yolks, mustard, garlic and lemon zest and juice in a blender or food processor and purée until smooth. With machine running, slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil a few drops at a time until the mixture begins to thicken. Gradually increase the oil to a thin, steady stream, blending to a uniform creamy consistency. If aioli breaks, drizzle in a little lukewarm water a few drops at a time until consistency is reached again. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Will keep 2 days or more in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Mix remaining 2/3 cup almond meal and cornmeal in a pie plate and season lightly with salt and pepper. Divide crab mixture into 12 equal portions and form into 2-inch patties. Coat in almond-cornmeal mixture.
  • Heat 1/4 cup canola or grapeseed oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is hot but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Cook crab cakes in batches, 3 to 4 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crisp, wiping out the skillet and adding fresh oil between the batches. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined tray. Crab cakes can be kept warm in a 200-degree oven for up to 30 minutes.

EASY GRAIN-FREE ALMOND FLOUR BROWNIES



Easy Grain-Free Almond Flour Brownies image

I love a one-dish baking recipe, to cut down on mess and clean-up! Unlike some gluten-free or grain-free baked goods, these have a pleasant texture as well. Experiment by adding your choice of nuts, flavored chocolate chips, and different flavor extracts. Top with icing if you wish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right almond flour: Not all almond flours are created equal. Look for a finely ground, blanched almond flour to ensure a smooth and consistent texture in your baked goods.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: Almond flour can be more absorbent than wheat flour, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately to avoid dry or crumbly baked goods.
  • Don't overmix your batter or dough: Overmixing can develop the gluten in almond flour, resulting in tough and dense baked goods. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Add moisture to your recipes: Almond flour can absorb a lot of moisture, so it's important to add extra liquid to your recipes. This can be done by adding eggs, milk, yogurt, or even mashed bananas or applesauce.
  • Use a light touch when handling almond flour: Almond flour is more delicate than wheat flour, so be gentle when mixing and handling it to avoid creating a mess.
  • Experiment with different recipes: There are many delicious almond flour recipes to choose from, so don't be afraid to experiment and find ones that you and your family enjoy.
