A few months back I finally found a combination of gluten free flours that I could mix together to make wonderful baked goods. It takes 3 or 4 gluten free flours but the blend is out of this world. I can even make delicious sugar cookies with it.
Since then I've been experimenting with various gluten free flours to see what works and what doesn't. So when I found a package on my doorstep and opened it up to find a collection of Bob's Red Mill nut flours, I couldn't wait to get in the kitchen and experiment with them! The one that intrigued me the most was the Bob's Red Mill All Natural Hazelnut Flour because I have never baked with it before.
These hazelnut chocolate brownies are incredible. The brownie is soft and delicious with a slightly different texture from the hazelnut flour which is thicker then traditional flour. I think the flour gives the brownies a wonderfully nutty flavor. My husband had trouble believing they were gluten free because of how rich and chocolatey they were. These are winners for sure in my book!

Kathleen @ Fearlessly Creative Mammas
I like cooking with coconut flour because I like the flavor. The texture is a little sandy feeling though, so that's a bummer. These sound yummy.

I've never baked with nut four, but I love Bob's oatmeal. I've been eating much healthier and exercising for about a year now, have lost 40 pounds, and am always interested in healthy new food ideas!

Seems crazy but I have never used any nut flours. I need to put it on my to do list of things to try. Your brownies look amazing by the way and I really love the plate they are on too!

I've never had the opportunity to bake with any of these yet, but I'm looking forward to experimenting and branching out!
