Gluten free shnitzel
Almond flour is just finely ground almonds and can be found in any spice shop and healthfood store, and in the organic section of most supermarkets. Almond flour is a really good substitute for bread crumbs or flour. It cooks well and is gluten and grain free and very low in carbs!

Notes & Tips:
If you don’t like the taste of coconut, the flavor is extremely subtle if at all in this recipe (but you can always use other oils)
