Notes
Storing and freezing tips
To store: Leftovers can be stored at room temperature, covered, for up to 6 months.
To freeze: Place leftovers in a carefully sealed ziplock bag and store it in the freezer for up to 6 months. The bread crumbs must be thawed completely before using. Can almond flour replace bread crumbs?
Depending on the recipe, almond flour can somewhat replace bread crumbs. However, they need to be mixed with some other key ingredient, like parmesan cheese. This works well for something like a keto chicken parmesan.
On its own, however, it will not be the best alternative.
