Flaxseed Meal Vs Almond Flour?

[islandlight]

I find flaxmeal and almond flour work very differently in baking. Flaxmeal is great as a binding agent or to make crackers. Almond meal is better for cookies and muffins as you get that fluffy “bread-like” texture more whereas flaxmeal will produce a “wetter/oily” texture.

Also for flaxmeal, I would make your own by grinding up flax seeds fresh as flaxmeal goes rancid really fast.

I agree, they work differently. I don’t bake much now, but flax meal is the only “flour” I use. I suggest that you look for recipes that call for flax meal.

I broke a blender trying to grind flax seeds, so I don’t do that. I buy flax meal and store it in the freezer to keep it from going rancid.

I use the coffee grinder machine (it cost me $20 in Canada) it works perfectly to make the flax seed meal from whole flax seeds. I made crackers(just butter and flax meal) and they were great! I also added some fax to the fathead dough and I really liked the wholegrain feel as someone mentioned before.
