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.

My question is, is there a substitute for coconut flour? I’m allergic and trying to make substitutions when I see coconut being used.
Not for this blend, unfortunately.
Because almond flour needs to be kept refrigerated and other ingredients don’t, does this need to be refrigerated for long term storage? If so, doesn’t other ingredients get “gummy” being refrigerated?
Almond flour doesn’t necessarily need refrigerated, just keep the mix in an airtight container make sure it’s stored in a cool, dark spot!
Can you use with yeast?
I have made the keto flour in this recipe but I can’t find your recipe to make bread from this blend. Do you have one.
We do not, but we will make note of that for future recipe ideas!
If you’ve never made bread with this mix, how do you know it works to make bread?
We don’t claim to know how it works in a bread recipe. Jessica was simply saying we’ll make a note to test and develop a bread recipe using it in the future.
The recipe says ‘see notes for gluten-free’, but there isn’t anything there. Could you please provide the substitution?
Hi, Virginia! There’s no substitution needed to make this gluten free. Like the Note in the recipe card says, you just want to make sure you use an oat fiber that’s definitely gluten free, to avoid any potential cross-contamination.
Read previous questions and found my answers. Thanks for the EBook, my 1st look at your site. Interesting, I am subscribing. I am rating it as a five, based on my experience with sbustitutions and Keto baking.
With the flour mix, what do I add to make bread or rolls? Tried to look for the recipe.
Hi, Elke! We don’t have a recipe for keto bread or rolls using this mix, and can’t say for sure exactly what you’d need to add to it to get either of those results. So sorry!
Is it ok to substitute 1/3 cup psyllium husks for the oat fiber if the recipe asks for 1/3 cup oat flour or do I need to use less psyllium?
That should work, but we can’t say for sure because we haven’t tried it. Let us know how it tuns out if you make it! We’d love to hear.
Would this hold up in bread making?
Can I use this to substitute for almond flour? Are there recipes that use this flour blend?
This sounds great! Is this a 1 to 1 swap for regular flour? Or is there a different conversion that you should make when using it? Thanks!
Hi! We would start off by substituting 1/2 cup for every cup of regular flour.
At first you say sub 1 to 1 for regular flour, and then in answer to someone’s question, you say start out by subbing 1/2 cup for every cup of regular flour. I’m confused.
Hi, Catherine! So sorry for any confusion. In the blog post we say “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!”
Since it can’t be subbed 1-to-1 in ALL recipes, we recommend starting out using half a cup of this flour for every 1 cup of regular flour and adjusting as needed. You can always add more flour, but you can’t take it away.
