This recipe collection has my favorite Keto Almond Flour Recipes, plus some information about Almond Flour as well! I first discovered Almond Flour when I tried Almond Flour Cheese Crackers many years ago, and since then I’ve used this versatile product in so many different ways.

Almond flour is great for low-carb and Keto baking. It’s perfect as a “breading” on chicken, fish, or pork. It can be used as a binder in place of bread crumbs. And Almond Flour is also gluten-free, and all but a couple of these Almond Flour recipes are gluten-free. (Check the icons above the recipe name on individual recipes if you’re uncertain.)

And I like cooking with Almond Flour so much I’ve made it one of my Kalyn’s Kitchen Picks, where I feature the products I love and buy over and over. (Those posts are not sponsored; I just love to share the products I love.

Why do I love Almond Flour Recipes?

Using almond flour in cooking has been life-changing for me the last few years. Almond flour can really expand your cooking options if you’re trying to stick to a low-carb or Keto eating plan, and it’s great for gluten-free baking as well. I’ve used it so many different ways, and always enjoyed the nutty flavor it adds to baked goods, toppings, and ingredients where it’s used as a thickener.

Almond Flour is an ingredient that’s calorie-dense, so if you’re actively trying to lose weight, take that into consideration. But if you haven’t cooked much with almond flour yet (or you’re an Almond Flour fan looking for more options), hope you’ll enjoy trying some of my faves!

Where Can You Buy Almond Flour?

Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour is made in Utah, close to where my brother Mark lives, so of course that’s the brand I bought for years. And now if you search Almond Flour (affiliate link) from Amazon.com, that’s one of the brands they feature. And almond flour is so mainstream now that almost any grocery store carries it.

Look for Almond Flour at Costco!

When Costco started selling almond flour it made me so happy! Having it sold in a three-pound bag at Costco makes it much more affordable, and the Costco brand of Kirkland Almond Flour (affiliate link) is also available from Amazon.com if you don’t live near a Costco. (Keep it in the freezer if you’re buying a large bag, and it will keep for years.)
