almond flour recipe
I started baking with this magical ingredient in 2001, when recipes for almond flour were incredibly scarce.
gluten free recipes
My son had just been diagnosed with celiac disease, so I made it my mission to convert all the traditional foods he loved as a child to gluten-free almond flour recipes.
Healthy Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook
I wanted my kids to eat all the delicious treats I grew up with, so I spent years in the kitchen creating healthy gluten-free recipes for them.
From there, the Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook was born.
Additionally, this website has hundreds of free almond flour recipes.
Muffins with almond flour
Since then, I’ve been playing with almond flour to create healthy and easy recipes. The story behind this almond flour muffin recipe is part of that journey.
I created this recipe in 2010 after reading Michael Ruhlman’s book Ratios. Shortly after, I saw Luhrmann speak on Blogher Food, and that experience changed my recipe creation process.
Self-care for celiac disease
But there was one problem with Luhrmann’s principles of proportions and recipes. He bakes with flour and gluten, which to me were impractical and useless.
Still, I was inspired to create a ratio recipe template for myself and for those of you who suffer from intolerances to foods such as gluten due to celiac disease. The ingredient I chose was almond flour!
Is almond flour gluten free?
I believe that almond flour is the best food for people suffering from celiac disease or on a keto diet. Here’s why:
Gluten-free, low-carb, high-fat, keto-friendly
keto muffins
After six tries, I created this keto muffin recipe using ratios (and a kitchen scale).
The ratio for muffins made with almond flour is 4 parts flour, 4 parts egg, and 1 part sweetener.
paleo recipes
Not all baked goods recipes are easily expandable, but this one is very flexible. You can scale up or down to make as many muffins as you like. For 8 muffins, double the amount; for 2, cut in half.
almond flour bread recipe
Don’t want to eat muffins? You can easily turn this almond flour muffin recipe into a bread recipe.
To make a quick bread, double the above dough, place in a 5¾ x 3 1/4-inch mini loaf pan, and bake on the lower rack of the oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
digital food scale
You will need a digital food scale to make my almond flour muffin recipe. I’ve been using an Escali kitchen scale for over 15 years and love it.
Although the performance is adequate, the scale is so thin that you can slide it into a small drawer, saving valuable space in your kitchen.

Having the right equipment is important, but so is having the right materials. All you need to make my almond flour muffins are a handful of healthy ingredients.
