Alternative flours, especially for that sweet tooth, what if you are looking for a dessert? 
The best substitute I have found for a whole grain flour, like wheat, would be almond flour.
But there are some little tricks to the trade of dealing with almond flour
It doesn’t have any gluten like wheat flour has… so it doesn’t rise, like for a cake. 
But there are things you can do to help it to rise.
Separate your eggs and whip your egg whites to give some lift to the cake batter. ?
Use extra baking soda or baking powder, a little more than normal, to help with the rise.
A lot of the Paleo recipes that you find will be based on almond flour.
Online, you can find most cake recipes that you want with almond flour as the base instead of wheat flour.
You can also find some that are based on coconut flour, but coconut flour is a little harder to work with because it absorbs so much liquid so quickly. ?
Almond flour will create the texture of a cake that you’re probably used to from a wheat flour.
So if you want to create a dessert, and you wanna stay away from the grains, then go ahead and check out almond flour and some almond flour recipes … see how it goes.
Once you get the hang of it, and you learn how to work with the almond flour, you can pretty much take your old cake recipes, and you’ll understand how to substitute the almond flour and the extra baking powder to alter recipes that you’ve had in the past.
