According to the USDA and healthline.com, almond flour and coconut flour are excellent low-carb alternatives to wheat flour. They are higher in fiber, protein, and healthy fats—making them ideal for blood sugar control and metabolic health on a ketogenic diet. Psyllium husk, meanwhile, is a powerful prebiotic that supports digestive regularity (source).
Including spices like cloves, cardamom, and anise not only boosts flavor but adds antioxidants that may help lower inflammation and support immune health (source).
