Easy and Delicious Almond Flour Recipes

We are big fans of using almond flour in baking. It adds great texture to baked goods, as well as a greater depth of flavour than regular all-purpose flour. Although it is not always a direct substitute for flour, it can be used in most baking recipes with the correct ratio and adaptations. Some of our most popular Almond Flour Recipes include our Salted Caramel Bliss Balls and Easy Almond Croissants.

In this collection we will offer recipes that include those that:

  • Are gluten-free. My Mum, Faye, used to run a gluten-free catering company, and she has shared so many recipes on the blog over the years.
  • Highlight both almond as a central flavour, but also feature other popular ingredients such as chocolate or berries.
  • Are ideal for sharing with loved ones.
  • Are entirely almond flour based, and some that use a combination of almond and regular or gluten-free all purpose flour.

Cakes and Desserts

I am a firm believer that you should be able to serve a beautiful cake or dessert to anyone, and not have them know that it is gluten-free. Some of these recipes include a blend of almond flour and gluten-free all purpose flour, and some are flourless. We love our Torta Caprese, the famous Italian Flourless Chocolate Cake, and have a special place in our hearts for our Gluten-Free Pear and Raspberry Cake, a recipe my Mum made in her gluten-free catering days!
