  1. I have read in several dfferent sources to "NEVER" USE BAKING POWDER / SODA WITH ALMOND FLOUR. Blue Diamond Almond Co. being one of the sources. Two links below….

    Does baking powder work with almond flour?

    1.) Use Eggs as The Leavening Agent. Since baking powder contains baking soda, baking powder cannot be used in almond flour baking. Instead, eggs (or applesauce or bananas) can be used as the leavening agent to help baked goods rise and achieve a light and fluffy texture. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=can+you+use+baking+posder+with+almond+flour+recipe
