Almond flour is a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour and is made from finely ground almonds. It is rich in healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Almond flour is also a good source of vitamin E, magnesium, and manganese. It can be used in baking recipes and provides a nutty flavor and moist texture.
Coconut flour is another gluten-free flour option made from dried, defatted coconut meat. It is high in fiber, which can promote satiety and support digestive health. Coconut flour is also a good source of healthy fats and contains trace minerals such as iron and potassium. It has a slightly sweet, coconut flavor and can absorb a significant amount of liquid in recipes.
Coconut oil is rich in saturated fats, primarily medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are easily digestible and can provide a quick source of energy. Coconut oil also contains lauric acid, which may have antimicrobial properties. Chilling the coconut oil helps solidify it for certain baking applications.
Egg whites are low in calories, fat-free, and cholesterol-free. Egg whites are an excellent source of high-quality protein and contain essential amino acids. They can contribute to the structure, texture, and binding properties in recipes without adding significant fat or cholesterol.
