For dessert type things, yes, usually. Checkout the recipes at Elana's Pantry for a slew of good tips and ideas. ... but remember: a gluten free dessert may be less damaging than a gluten dessert, but it's still dessert! |

You can't directly substitute almond or coconut flour into a traditional baking recipe and expect it to work right. Nut and coconut flours have very different properties than grain flours. I do second the suggestion to check out Elana's Pantry, though for her older recipes you'll probably want to substitute honey for the agave nectar she calls for. |

Hey, there are a few other good spots as well and the civilised caveman site has a some great recipes for treats and not all flour based as well (try the avocado chocolate mouse & apple pie bars). If you do a lot of baking as well the nut flour can give you too much omega 6 so it's worth checking out some other safe paleo flours like tapioca and plantain. More details here. |

You can use Xanthan gum & Guar gum as a flour substitute. Please refer to the link which I posted. http://www.diabetesdaily.com/forum/recipes/70333-vegan-flaxseed-bread-gluten-free-no-egg |
