What are the options?

There are so many gluten-free flours on the market, all of which boast their own array of health benefits.

Almond flour is low-carb and full of healthy fats and antioxidants, while coconut flour is packed with fiber and promotes healthy digestion. The ever-popular buckwheat flour is a bit of a superfood, known to help with heart health while also saving your bank thanks to its lower price tag.

Rice flour is on the more versatile side with several varieties and flavors, and it works especially well as a breading for fried foods. Oat flour is the easy option, quick to make at home and loaded with extra protein.

Use these recipes to play around with all kinds of alternative flours, or to DIY some of your own!
