Time for another spotlight. Let’s be real, none of this could be possible without the versatility of our trusty staple which is often used in the place of regular flour. While high in calories, almonds are also a great source of fiber, healthy fats and essential vitamins and nutrients - which will leave you feeling satisfied and nourished after eating, as well as slow down the sugar's absorption into your bloodstream. This is unlike other desserts where the regular flour + sugar combo puts your blood sugar into a crazy roller coaster, making you come back for seconds after the crash.

It's also relatively low in carbs, so perfect for dieters (though not 0 net carbs, so you'll still need to check your portions!).

Considering the inflammatory properties associated with gluten, and the nutrient density of almond flour, it's been a no-brainer for me use this as a substitute in all of my recipes, not just those looking for lower carb options. (Sorry, those with nut allergies! This is how I eat myself and feel at my best, and considering I cook from a home kitchen, nut-free was never an option I could consider).

Have you used almond flour before? What’s a favourite recipe of yours that uses it?

Here we are, the first of many spotlights! While my main purpose is to pump out the baked goods, I’d also like to highlight the ingredients I’m using and the nutritional benefits of each. I’m looking forward to also being part of a discussion with you all in terms what are the healthy substitutions you’re using for yourselves, and which ones you’d like to see as part of my recipes.

Today’s star is , a commonly used in baking, though difficult to come by in its pure form. Monkfruit, or luo han guo, is a melon native to China and Thailand. It has been used in Eastern traditions for centuries, and gets its sweetness from antioxidants it contains called mogrosides, which contain few to no calories and have a glycemic index of 0. Monkfruit is 100-250 times sweeter than sugar, and thus only small amounts of it are required in baking.

While it seems to be too early to tell definitively, there are some claims that monkfruit has anti-inflammatory properties. So, in addition to not being nearly as unhealthy as sugar, there may even be health benefits to trying it out.

If you’d like to give it a try, keep in mind that many monkfruit sweeteners on the market are mixed with other types of low carb sweeteners (not that they’re necessarily bad, but each has its own properties and effects and it’s best you know what you’re putting in your body!). I’ve tried ‘s Pure Monk sweetener and have gotten some great results, and I can’t wait to try it in other recipes.

Have you tried baking yet with monkfruit, and if so, how was the outcome? If not, are you planning on using it in any of your favourite recipes? Looking forward to your comments below
