SWEET POTATO PANCAKES WITH GREEK YOGURT
ALMOND FLOUR NUTRITION
Almond flour can replace wheat flour in almost every recipe and it’s a great alternative for people watching their gluten intake. The vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in almond flour can provide important health benefits. For example, manganese helps the body properly clot blood, allowing it to heal after injuries. Manganese also helps the body break down carbohydrates and cholesterol.
Almond flour is also rich in monounsaturated fat and magnesium, which can help you better control your blood sugar levels.
