Topp 3 flours to use in healthy baking

What flour is best to use in healthy baking and in healthy cakes?

Many of you might find it hard to start out trying out new friska tårta recept, because of the many “new” ingredients, and especially flours that I use in my friska bakning recept. Here is a helping hand when it comes to the most important healthy flours that I use, and why.

Most of the healthy flours är dyrare än vitt mjöl att köpa, but I promise you one package lasts “forever” and more important: It is SO much better for your health, mind and body (and more yummy!). I use other flours than the 3 listed below too, but these are my Topp 3 flours to use in healthy baking.

Topp 3 flours to use in healthy baking

Mandelmjöl

If I would advise you to buy one type flour it would be almond flour. But you would be much better out if you also have Coconut flour and Oatmeal flour by hand (se nedan)! Almond flour is naturally gluten- fri, low in carbohydrates, contains antioxidants as vitamin E, and boosts 40 grams protein per 100 gram mandelmjöl.

Min recept Healthy apple and cardamomme muffins are made of mandelmjöl (bilden ovan).

Protein: 40% Fiber: 20% Kolhydrater: 4% Fett: 11% Energi: 315 kalorier

Tips! I use the Mandelmjöl (fett minskas) produced by the Scandinavian "Functional foods" eller “Sukrin” (international).

Coconut mjöl

Coconut flour is also a gluten- free flour that is low in carbohydrates, but it holds less protein than almond flour, but over 50% fiber! Coconut flour also has a less distinct taste, than almond flour, if you do not like that.

Try my creation of the fresh and delicious Friska blåbär pannkakor made with kokos mjöl (bilden ovan).

Protein: 19% Fiber: 50% Kolhydrater: 9% Fett: 11% Energi: 320 kalorier

Tips: I use the Coconut mjöl (fett minskas) produced by the Scandinavian "Functional foods" eller “Sukrin” (international).

Oatmeal flour

When it comes to havremjöl it is as a matter of fact naturally gluten- fri, but most of the havremjöls produced contain traces of gluten. So if you need your friska bakning recept to be totally gluten- fri you can either make your own in the food processor with oatmeal, or buy gluten- fri havremjöl. It is the cheapest of all the basic healthy flours that I use, but contains most energy, least protein and fibres. It is not a low carb option as it holds 60% kolhydrater. That said; Det är bra för bakning, and very easy to succeed with!

Just try it in one of my favourite creations Friska banan pudding kaka (bilden ovan).

Protein: 12% Fiber: 8% Kolhydrater: 60% Fett: 7% Energi: 370 kalorier

Tips! It is very easy to make your own havremjöl, but it tend to be a bit less grounded than the one you get in store. You can get gluten- free oatmeal flour online eller i den lokala butiken.
