I am a Type 2 Diabetic, and eating healthy is important to me. One way I eat healthy is by avoiding most grain products, which includes no white or wheat flour. In recipes that do call for white flour, I substitute almond flour or coconut flour instead. It can be a bit confusing, because you have to use more almond flour than white flour, yet less coconut flour than white flour. Also, you must add extra moisture to the recipe in the case of coconut flour. Several years ago, I put together two conversion charts for my own use, and thought I would share it with my readers. Happy, healthy eating!
