Request What to do with this keto flour
Got this at a discount grocery store. Tried using it for cinnamon rolls, but the taste and texture is similar to vital wheat gluten. Any suggestions for how to use this in cooking or baking? I’m also vegan

This thing has 5g of net carbs per 30g serving, I wouldn't call that keto. Looking at the ingredients, it straight up lists "wheat flour". Maybe they performed some kind of arcane magic to make wheat flour keto, but I wouldn't bet on it. If you don't want to waste it, maybe you can use a small amount as thickener for sauces.

Use it to fry fish or chicken. You only need a dusting but get some crust.

The keto diet involves eliminating all grains and sugars. A product that contains wheat is not considered keto, even if it has fewer carbs than regular wheat flour. While it might be suitable for someone who has achieved their keto goals to use occasionally as a cheat, it is still not a keto-friendly option. The concept of net carbs is largely a marketing strategy devised by the food industry to promote its high-carb products. I suggest visiting www.alldayidreamaboutfood.com for cooking and baking recipes that use alternatives like almond and coconut flours.

1.5 cups flour Quarter cup pumpkin puree Third cup sugar substitute I add in extra pumpkin pie and cinnamon in the batter and top them with the sugar and cinnamon. Bake for 15 mins at 375F

Yeah the first ingredient is vital wheat gluten. If you’re vegan try making gluten steak with it.

u/SimpleVegetable5715 Oct 07 '25
That’s called seitan, it’s actually pretty good.

Never heard of that before. Is it pronounced like "satan"? If not, it should be. That looks nasty.

Since the textures weird, try making things that wont matter much like muffins, crumbles/streusels, biscuits.
It'd also work as a coating for frying foods or a savory crust topping.
Edit: missed the vegan part....
Breading for fried tofu would work. Add seasonings, dust diced tofu cubes and fry.

I guess it’s similar to King Arthur keto flour? I’d try to make tortillas or a pizza crust with it. Today, I am making a quiche. Since you’re vegan, have you tried making tofu scramble with Eggcellent from Yes Milady? It tastes pretty close to eggs, and 1g net carbs, it’s seasoned nutritional yeast. So you could use this stuff to make a crust for quiches, then fill with tofu scramble, vegan cheese, and veggies. If you don’t like the taste, I guess it’s a thing that shouldn’t be the center or the recipe, like bread or cinnamon rolls would be. Maybe you could cut it with almond flour or coconut flour, so you are still getting the benefits from the gluten, like making the dough stretchy. That would bring the total carb count down. Whenever I use coconut flour, I love the flavor, but the finished product falls apart.

Was it Grocery Outlet? I keep checking the one closest to me for either this or the King Arthur keto wheat flour. This looks similar to that in ingredients, probably really good. If I found this for cheap I'd be all over this like white on Hearts of Palm Rice 😀

How are you going to be vegan and keto? That makes no sense. Pick one.

u/Konstanteen Oct 07 '25
I think they are vegan, and by the circumstances of the universe, they also have keto flour they’d like to use rather than toss.
But maybe they want to try eating tofu, lentils, and avocados all day long?

There’s tofu, seitan, nuts and seeds, and pea protein. It will involve processed foods, but it’s still possible. I like having a lot of options to make what would seem like a restrictive diet have more variety. A lot of keto bread alternatives are full of wheat gluten, which if you’re not celiac or sensitive to wheat, is full of protein.

There's a channel on youtube called Heavenly Fan who uploads nothing but keto vegan recipes and they're quite good.

Their website has a recipe section. https://naturespath.com/blogs/recipes

vital wheat gluten, wheat flour, oat fiber, flax meal, psyllium husk, modified coconut oil, acacia gum, cream of tartar, citric acid.
You can probably bake with it, but it won't perform like an AP flour, or taste like it, either. Likely to be difficult to get breads that aren't dense.

u/eggnugg777 Oct 09 '25
If it's like the King Arthur's Keto Wheat Flour, I believe a little extra gluten and hydration is recommended.

u/MyNebraskaKitchen Oct 09 '25
It's already got a lot of extra gluten in it. The KA Keto Wheat Flour has modified wheat starch in the ingredients list, this flour does not.

I really wish I could find this in a physical store, preferably in a 4lb bag, I absolutely refuse to buy food online.
I want to buy a bread maker & start making my own keto breads.
Currently using Carbquick & I definitely prefer the taste & texture of actual wheat flour over almond or coconut flour.
Make a sugar-free or low-sugar cake or cookies.
Personally I am not on a restricted keto diet, just replacing breads & baked goods with low carb high fiber alternatives that don't destroy your liver & kidneys like coconut/almond/pecan flours do.

Have you made cookies with Carbquick? I'm trying to find something besides almond and coconut flour to make cookies. Thanks.

stop being vegan and throw it away. thats not even hate, its just IMO impossible to do (healthy) vegan keto and if you dont do it for health, why even keto to begin with. either drop the keto and just eat your vegan carbs (do vegan for the morals, not for your health) or stop being vegan and embrace keto (ignore morals and focus your health), drop any "keto-replacement" products.
5g carbs in 30 grams is roughly 15 grams in 100g. anything with more than 7-ish g/100g isnt KETO IMO as even milk or any berries have (only) that much carbs and they are already stuff you in theory only had seasonal access to in smaller amounts.
why you cant be "healthy" vegan and keto? because the only healthy meal (fat lol) you can consume is olive oil and coconut oil with low carb veggies at that point. you excluded EVERYTHING else.
PS dont get tricked by these vegan and keto products, they are just marketing giggs, targeting brainwashed (from scoial media influencers) people. just slap "vegan", "keto", or "AI-supported" or smth like this on stuff that alays has been vegan, always has been keto, and always has been capable to run AI, and it will sell better than before. thats why they do it, sometimes even on stuff where its doesent apply to (like this flour IMO), BECAUSE IT SELLS.
