I wish I had time to do all the baking I wanted to. Don’t you?
I recently started baking with coconut flour and almond flour thanks to Bobs’ Red Mill products. Bob’s Red Mill has so many products that are gluten free and organic.
Bobs Red Mill Almond Meal is ground from whole, blanched sweet almonds. Almonds are notoriously healthy nuts providing a good amount of manganese and vitamin E , as well as a healthy serving of monounsaturated fats in each 1/4 cup serving. Not only do almonds have a healthy boost of protein, they are also very low in carbohydrates and inherently gluten free. Eating whole almonds is terrific, but did you know that adding almond meal to your baking and cooking can bring the health benefits of almonds to your diet, as well as cutting back on carbohydrate consumption? Replacing 25% of the flour in your baking with almond meal will add wonderful texture and flavor while reducing the total carbohydrates. This makes it perfect for those following a low carbohydrate or paleo diet.
Organic coconut flour is a delicious, healthy alternative to wheat and other grain flours. Ground from dried, defatted coconut meat, coconut flour is high in fiber and low in digestible carbohydrates. A single 2 Tbsp serving of coconut flour delivers 5 grams of fiber with only 8 grams of carbs. This makes it ideal for those following the paleo diet or who need to be carb conscious for their health. Coconut flour is also gluten free and produced in our gluten free facility where it is batch tested using the R5 ELISA Gluten Assay.
I make several bake goods using these flours. Granola bars are the top ones. The kids love them. I also like to substitute when a recipe calls for regular flour.
I got to also try out the gluten free pancake mix as well as the flours. Which went over really well with the kids. I was really unsure of how these pancakes would actually taste but they were very delicious. Their Gluten Free Pancake Mix makes up quickly and produces perfect, very light and fluffy pancakes everyone will enjoy. Use any kind of milk-soy, rice, almond, or cow-that is suitable for your diet. Add blueberries or bananas for pure pleasure.
I really love Bob’s Red Mill products and will continue to use them. They have so many others that I want to try. Cookie mixes, bread mixes and other flours.
