There's no mistaking this flour. It tastes distinctly of the dried coconut meat that is its only ingredient. You might like it if you follow the paleo diet. It's low in carbs, high in fiber, and has 4 grams of protein per quarter-cup. It also has 4 grams of saturated fat. In general, it's best to use a little in any one recipe and combine it with other flours. Try some coconut flour mini-muffins.
Almond Flour (Gluten-Free)Almond flour is good in sweet and savory dishes.
Italian cooks, among others, often use this flour in traditional cookies, cakes, and other pastries. You can make it at home if you blanch and grind almonds. A quarter-cup has 6 grams of protein, 14 grams of mostly unsaturated fat, and 3.5 grams of fiber. You can use it in savory dishes too; to encrust a fillet of flounder, for example.
Rye FlourRye flour is dark, dense, and high in ptotein.
A half-cup of whole-grain dark rye flour known as pumpernickel has 15.25 grams of fiber and less gluten than wheat flour, though it isn’t gluten-free. You can lighten it by blending it with other higher-protein flours. In Denmark, rye is used to make a dark, dense sourdough bread called rugbrod that’s part of the healthy Nordic diet.
SpeltSpelt has more gluten than wheat flour.
If you're looking for a gluten-free option, skip spelt. This ancient grain is related to wheat, only with a bit more protein. And here, more protein means more gluten. A quarter-cup of spelt flour has 4 grams of fiber and 1.5 grams of iron. It works well as a replacement for wheat flour in cooking and baking, so try it for a change of pace to make homemade waffles.
