The Essential Guide To Starting a Low-Carb Diet
Hello.
Can i also use coconut flour instead of almond meal?
Coconut flour should work as a substitute for almond meal. Be sure to use a much smaller amount (just enough to coat the chicken). The main difference is that you won’t get the same crunchy texture as almond meal because the texture of coconut flour is much finer. Let me know how it goes 🙂
