FLOUR ALTERNATIVES: RECIPES MADE HEALTHIER
FLOUR:
White flour is not the best selection; it is heavily processed, it has had the bran and germ stripped from it and a chemical bleaching agent has been used to make it a bright white colour.
Luckily there are many healthier alternatives available that are great in recipes, including:
Almond Flour
Amaranth flour
Barley Flour
Buckwheat Flour
Coconut Flour
Hazelnut Flour
Millet Flour
Oat Flour
Quinoa Flour
When you substitute with various flours you will notice a difference in the colour, texture and flavour of baked goods so you may have to experiment a bit to find the right one for you.
Substitutions will also be required in varying amounts when compared to white flour… click here for a great guide from Bob’s Red Mill that will make substituting a breeze!
Have some fun experimenting with the various flours listed above.
I would love to hear from you! Write a comment and let me know what your favourite alternatives are.
