Our keto flour blend combines the perfect ratios of various flour substitutes, creating an easy and convenient gluten-free all-purpose mix to use in almost any recipe.
What Makes This Recipe So Good
- It uses small amounts of a few different ingredients, which makes each individual ingredient go farther and last longer. More bang for your buck!
- Almond flour tends to be heavy on its own, and coconut flour soaks up a lot of moisture. By combining the two with a couple of other ingredients, though, you get a perfect all-purpose blend that mimics traditional flour.
- Use it for baking! The coconut flour keeps baked goods fluffy without adding a coconut flavor.
- For most recipes, this blend can be subbed in at a 1-to-1 ratio. Depending on the recipe, you may find you need more or less of this blend, or you may need to adjust the liquids in your recipe. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
Key Ingredients
Oat Fiber – Oat fiber is a mild-tasting, fine powder made from grinding the hull (or shell) of oats. It’s great for adding fiber, which is super important on a keto diet.
Xanthan Gum – This is the binding and thickening agent in this keto flour blend. Since the other ingredients are gluten-free, xanthan gum is needed to make up for the lack of gluten.
Chef’s Tips
- You can totally swap ingredients or adjust the quantities to find the blend that works best for your preferences. Just keep in mind that any adjustments will make your final keto flour mix different from ours.
- The macros will vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients you use. As a general rule, always look for brands with the lowest carb count. That being said, you may find that you love a certain brand that comes out to be a carb or two higher than a brand you hate, so it’s worth it to eat that extra carb.
- Coconut flour soaks up a lot of moisture, so if you’re making substitutions, keep your total amount of coconut flour low.

Is this flour recipe good for making pasta?
We haven’t tried making pasta with this flour, so we can’t say for sure. Be sure to let us know if you try it!
I can not have oats in any form. So what can I sub for oat flour
Hi, Anne-Marie! You could try flaxseed meal, or buckwheat flour!
Hi!
I would like to make Keto Scones. Recipe calls for 1.5 cups of Almond Flour. How much of keto flour do I use?
Also, what to do if a recipe calls for almond & coconut flours? Do I combine the amounts?
Hi Andrea! You would substitute the almond flour with this keto flour as a 1-to-1 substitution. As for the almond and coconut flours, we haven’t tested with that substitution, so we can’t say for sure how it would work. So sorry!
If not cooking/baking for keto but, rather, a diabetic, would you happen to know if using oat flour in place of the oat fiber would work? I’m relatively new to this and have learned that it isn’t extremely simple.
Thanks so much!
We haven’t tried switching them out, so we can’t say for sure. We’d love to hear how it turns out if you do try it!
Hi there. I know it’s 3 months later in adding my input. But oat flour and oat fibre are different where carbohydrates are concerned. Oat flour would increase carbs.
So to keep the carb count lower, my suggestion is to substitute with unflavoured protein powder or you could add extra almond flour and coconut flour instead. Also, I prefer to keep the coconut flour at 1/3-1/2 cups or else there might be a coconut flavour.
Thanks for the helpful tips!
Is there a recipe that does not include oats, I am allergic to gluten free oats as well, but still need it low carb and gluten free. Please
We have not tried substituting out oat flour in this recipe, so we can’t say for sure. So sorry!
Might you have a corresponding yeast bread recipe that uses this keto flour mix?
We don’t, but we’ll be sure to make note of that for future recipe ideas!
I have a cheesecake recipe I love that calls for 1TBS ap flour. Would this sub ok ?
Without knowing the rest of the ingredients and without testing it ourselves, we can’t say. Let us know if you try it!
Thank you
