If you enjoy baking then you should try almond flour with your pancakes, or breads and muffins instead of whole wheat flour. I’m not saying that whole wheat flour is not healthy, but almond flour is filled with protein and fiber plus calcium, magnesium, and antioxidant vitamin E.
Almond flour is simply blanched, ground almonds.
Experiment with the consistency and flavor in your favorite receipies.
