When you first follow a low carb diet, one of the hardest challenges is find low carb alternatives to baked goods such as bread and cakes. Using low carb flours can take a while to adapt but once you get used to them there will be no stopping you.
I’ve also included a complete list of flour and their carbs for comparison. However, if you are in maintenance and have a larger daily carb target you might be able to use some of them in moderation.
Which is the best low carb flour?
Although I've added oat fiber to this list as the texture is like a flour and I use it in baking, it has no other nutritional value than the fibre. Lupin flour ticks a lot of boxes for the low carb vegetarian and vegan as not only is it low in carbs, it has a great protein value too.
Low Carb Flour Notes
- For those of you with allergies, you may want to avoid the nut flours.
- Store your low carb flours with care as they can go rancid. Storing them in the fridge can be the best option.
The data for the nutritional information of the flours comes from the USDA nutrient database, so you can rest assured the information is reliable – even if there may be a few surprises in it.
