Almond flour is a great substitute for regular flour when you’re on a keto diet. These keto almond flour recipes are great to incorporate into your low carb menu.
One of the first things you learn is to avoid regular flour on a ketogenic diet. And there’s a good reason for this.
Regular flour has tons of net carbs and very little fat. So, when you eat it, it can quickly kick you out of ketosis.
Regular flour is everywhere though. It’s in baked goods like cookies, bread, and cake.
It’s even in savory foods like pizza and chicken nuggets. So, how can you avoid it?
By using almond flour! Almond flour is lower in net carbs and higher in fat.
It is also very nutritious. It’s packed with nutrients like manganese, magnesium, and vitamin E.
Today, I’m sharing 25 ketogenic almond flour recipes. I’ve also included all the macros to help you keep track of your diet.
These dishes are delicious and good for you. So, be sure to stock up on some almond flour here!
1. Baked Chicken Nuggets

Wondering what to make for dinner? Chicken nuggets!
Kids love chicken nuggets, even the picky ones. However, your typical chicken nuggets are loaded with carbs.
These chicken nuggets contain only 4 grams of net carbs. As an added bonus, they contain 16 grams of fat, perfect for ketosis.
They’re also baked, not deep-fried. So, they’re much healthier for you.
They’re crisp, and super yummy thanks to the blend of seasonings. And making them is a breeze.
Simply dip your chicken pieces in an egg wash. Then dip them in your almond flour and seasoning mix.
Bake for 30 minutes and dinner is served! Also, it’s totally a low carb comfort food and that’s amazing.

Breading makes everything more delicious. Especially shrimp.
Your traditional bang bang shrimp is coated with cornstarch. As a result, they’re quite high in net carbs.
These bang bang shrimp contain only 4 grams of net carbs. And they’re super high in fat and protein, so they’re perfect for serving the whole family.
And your family will definitely love them. These shrimp are nice and crispy- just like those at your favorite restaurant.
But the sauce is what truly makes the dish. It’s a sweet and spicy sauce that will keep you coming back for more.
To make it, you’ll need some Swerve sweetener. The great thing about Swerve is that it doesn’t leave a bitter aftertaste. You can pick some up here.

4. Crispy Air Fryer Pork Chops

Sometimes, after a busy day at work, you don’t want to cook. You just want to veg out on the couch.
This dish is for one of those days. It’s very easy to make and you’ll have dinner ready in under 20 minutes.
Best of all, it’s high in protein and has a decent amount of fat. So it’s great for kids!
These pork chops are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. And they’re super yummy.
To make these pork chops, you’ll be using an air fryer. Using an air fryer cuts down on the cooking time, and ensures that your pork chops are nice and light.
I recommend this air fryer here. It’s budget-friendly and does not contain toxic coatings.
To make these pork chops, coat them in almond flour, parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Then place them in an air fryer for about 10 minutes.
Easy, peasy, pork chop dinner! Check out more recipes that are under 5g in carbs here.

It can be hard hosting dinner parties when you’re on a keto diet. You want to cook a meal that both you and your guests will enjoy.
Because of this, you may end up cooking two dinners. One for yourself and one for your dinner guests.
This almond herb-crusted pork tenderloin is a dish that both you and your non-keto guests will love. It’s as perfect to look at, as it is to eat.
It’s juicy and flavorful on the inside. And the outside is nicely crusted with almond flour, chopped almond, Dijon mustard, and seasonings.
Do keep in mind that this dish is very high in protein. So, you will want to watch your portion sizes.
This recipe is also useful when you’re doing keto meal prep. So, keep that in mind!

And parmesan cheese goes great on everything. It’s also good for you- this dish provides 30% of your daily calcium needs.
Serve this dish with some zucchini noodles and a Garden salad. You’re good to go!

7. Keto Fish and Chips

Do you crave fish and chips? This dish is sure to satisfy your cravings.
Fish and chips are so yummy and comforting. But they’re definitely not keto-friendly.
First of all, the fish is breaded. And of course, we can’t forget about the chips.
Just one serving of fish and chips can easily net you 60 grams of net carbs. More than enough to blow you out of ketosis.
These keto fish and chips contain only 10 grams of net carbs. So, they work well on a keto diet.
To make the fish, you’ll be coating it in almond flour, parmesan cheese, and seasonings. This gives the fish extra flavourful.
But, the chips are truly brilliant. To keep it keto, bake some zucchini slices until they’re nice and golden.

These salmon patties are so good. You may want to eat a couple!
And making these patties is a breeze! Combine your ingredients together, make these patties and fry them in a skillet.
Plus, you’ll feel better eating these patties. They’re not only good for you but better for the environment as well.

These chicken tenders contain only 0.5 grams of net carbs. They’re also packed with protein, so you feel full after just one.
And they’re packed with flavor. So you definitely won’t miss your regular chicken tenders!

They’re also packed with protein. So, they make for a perfect post-workout meal.
And making them is super easy. Just chop your chicken into tiny pieces and mix them with your other ingredients.
You can also just put your chicken in a food processor. Here is a low budget food processor if you don’t already own one. This makes chopping your chicken a breeze.
Finally, form your chicken mixture into fritter shapes, and fry them. If you like it spicy, feel free to add jalapenos.
Anyway, feel free to eat those whenever you’re craving a filling keto dinner.

11. Appetizing Low Carb Doughnut Cookies
The holidays are just around the corner. So, now is the time to think about your holiday baking.
And this can be particularly hard if you are following a low carb diet. After all, regular flour is full of carbs, right?
That’s where these low carb doughnut cookies come in handy. They’re soft doughnut-shaped cookies dipped in dark chocolate.
Dark chocolate gives these cookies a hint of bitterness. This provides a nice balance to the sweetness of the cookie.
And talking about sweetness, you’ll need some erythritol to sweeten them. Erythritol is one of the best natural sweeteners on the market, and you can find it right here.
Do keep in mind that these cookies contain 13.4 grams of net carbs. So, you may want to split a cookie with a friend to cut down on the net carbs.
However, if you’re on a low carb diet, these should be ok to eat. They’re definitely delicious enough to spare those carbs on!

- Calories: 132.5

12. Vanilla Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting
Credit: greenandketo.com
Having an entire cake in the fridge is hard to resist. That’s why I love cupcakes when I’m trying to lose weight.
They’re great for portion control. And they taste just as yummy.
However, they’re usually not low in net carbs. So, they’re not good if you’re on a keto diet.
These cupcakes contain only 1 gram of net carbs. And since they are so high in fat, they are super satisfying.
They look pretty and taste amazing. They’re also nice and moist. This is what I call keto hacking!
To make these cupcakes, you’ll also need sine coconut flour. If you plan to continue keto baking, coconut flour comes in quite handy, so be sure to stock on it here.
Here is another vanilla cupcake recipe.
Per Serving:
- Calories: 254
- Fats: 20g
- Net Carbs: 1g
- Protein: 4g
13. Peanut Butter Keto Cookies

Here are more cookies that are great for baking. And good for your waistline too!
I like peanut butter because it’s packed with healthy fats. It’s when you buy the sugar added stuff that you get into trouble.
These keto cookies are nice and chewy. They’re also pretty easy to make.
Simply combine your wet and your dry ingredients, and place them in the fridge. Then form cookies out of the batter and bake in an oven.
Do keep in mind that these cookies contain nuts. So, be careful if you’re giving them away as holiday treats.

14. Low Carb Apple Cupcakes

Are you craving apples? Then, be sure to give these cupcakes a try.
Apples are packed with vitamin C. But, they have tons of carbs as well.
Just one apple contains more than 20 grams of net carbs. Which is probably more than your daily net carbs limit.
These apple cupcakes are packed with apple flavor. But, none of the carbs.
To get the apple flavor, you will use a tiny bit of Granny Smith apple. The rest of the apple flavor comes from the apple flavoring oil which you can get here.
The icing on the cake is truly the caramel frosting. It’s sweet and salty and balances out the tart apple flavor of the cupcake.
