Recommendations for replacement of Almond flour in recipes, just found out I am allergic to almonds.
Not fun finding out, the itching needed Benadryl. I have been making a killer Keto cheesecake with an almond crust - NOT ANYMORE.
Thanks for any suggestions.
coconut flour is one.
I have also used cauliflower recipes in the past, like pizza crust substitutes, but like many of the other ones, they rely on eggs and/or cheese as the binding agent and it rarely performs like real bread.
Just itch and enjoy your cheesecake.

They have many choices, and they are an employee owned outfit.
Any day now, the only Flour available will be “The Peoples Flour”. It will be comprised of 50% asbestos, and 50% assorted toxic industrial waste. Although you will need to wait in line for hours to obtain your quota (1 Oz.), I suggest you learn to bake with this powder of the People.....
My wife makes crust less cheese cakes...They’re not baked but chilled and they are fantastic. She too uses coconut flour and also walnuts for various dessert dishes.
Bacon, lots of bacon. Oh, and you can eat all the pork rinds you want.
For cheesecake try chopped pecans
Boy, that’s tough. Almond flour is used in so many recipes!
Someone mentioned coconut flour, but it’s different to bake with than almond flour. I can’t remember the source (didn’t make a note of it), but here is how to substitute coconut flour for almond flour:
“A common question is whether you can substitute almond flour for coconut flour and the other way around. Yes, often you can but not in equal amounts. 1 cup of almond flour can be substituted for 1/3 cup of coconut flour. 1/3 cup of coconut flour can be substituted for 2/3 cup almond flour + 1.5 tablespoons of ground psyllium husk powder. The amounts may need to be adjusted depending on what brands you’re using.”

I am almost totally carnivore. I use pork “panko” (ground up pork rinds) for some recipes. In ‘fathead’ dough for pizza, I substitute pork panko for the almond flour. I also make “bread” for Thanksgiving stuffing using pork panko. I buy the bags of rinds & just throw them in the food processor - significantly less expensive than buying it already ground up.
We use Carbquik instead of Bisquick for shortcake, waffles and biscuits. It’s popular with the Keto folks being much lower in carbs.
Eat all the meat, eggs, and cheese you want.
Fry a few pounds of bacon and crunch it up. Great flour substitute.
Lately, I’ve been making some Maria Emmerich’s recipes. I got the “carnivore crust” idea (using panko instead of almond flour) from her. Her recipes are good & I like the ideas I get from her cooking. Her hard boiled egg pudding is outstanding, btw.

skip the crust
Recipe? :)
You don’t need a crust. Keto or not, I’ve not used a crust in decades.
If you do need/want a crust, use ground pecans or walnuts.
Other nuts might have too strong a taste for keto breads but would be just fine in cookies or crackers. For white bread, use the egg white recipes out there.
If you don’t have a mold for the egg white bread, you can make one. A slice of store bought regular sandwich bread is about 4” square. Cut four strips from whatever (I used a plastic milk jug) about half an inch wide and 4 1/2” long. On each of the ends, make slices halfway into the width. Connect the sliced ends together into a square like you did with Lincoln Logs. Plop the bread “dough” into your new mold to form a slice of keto bread. Of course, don’t bake the mold! Wash and reuse for the next batch.
Use ground pecans, walnuts or jarred parm cheese to make a crust for fish and chicken.
Self reminder for recipes. My wife has been on a semi-keto diet for 11 months - lost 80 pounds. Is now helping an older gentleman that has health problems and now needs to be on a Keto type diet. She has been forced to get more creative helping this more particular guy.
Whereas my wife can do without a muffin or crackers, the old guy is complaining about it.
