I have been dabbling in baking and cooking with sunflower seed flour. Sunflower Seed Flour is a nut-free flour alternative used in baking and cooking gluten-free, keto, paleo, and low carb baked goods and other foods. It is a great super food filled with protein, fiber and vitamins. I took my Lemon Blueberry Streusel Muffin recipe and modified a bit by adding sunflower seed flour to it. These Sunflower Seed Flour Blueberry Streusel Muffins are made with a combination of Sunflower Seed Flour and almond flour. The two flours used together made a light fluffy and very moist muffin. In my opinion one of the best homemade keto muffin that I've made from scratch. Some have made their own sunflower seed flour but I I haven't ventured that far. I have been using Think Eat Live's Sunflower Seed Flour in a variety of recipes, and I have had wonderful results baking and cooking with it. Their sunflower seed flour is well worth a try for those you that bake and cook a grain-free and gluten free foods. Be sure to check out my Almond Joy Sunflour Muffins as well - these muffins are made with all sunflower seed flour.

Hi Debbie, thank you for sharing your recipe. I can't eat almonds and wanted to know a substitute for the almond flour and keep the recipe keto/low carb.
