I was inspired by Nuts.com and the “April Showers Bring May Flours” project that Nuts.com is putting together for the month of May. For this project, Nuts.com is focused on getting the community inspired to include almond flour in their diets.
I created Paleo Almond Flour Snack Sticks with Blood Orange and Coconut recipe for this post and would like to share why using almond flour is great as well as whip up in almond flour recipe.
Almond flour is an alternative to wheat flour for baking and cooking, and great addition to gluten free baking. The only ingredients in almond flour are ground, whole almonds. This flour is gluten-free, low in carbohydrates, high in fiber and a high source of protein. Almond flour is also rich in vitamins and minerals like: iron, riboflavin, magnesium, potassium, calcium and vitamin E. Almonds provide the most calcium compared to other nuts and are beneficial for heart health, lowering cholesterol and keeping weight under control.
Here we go!
My Paleo baked snack size sticks recipe has no added sugar with wonderful aroma of almonds, zest of juicy blood orange and fragrant coconut flakes still Paleo, still gluten free.
