I just found another video by African Keto Diet on how to make Chicken Flour. (2 years old) She says doing it her way makes the chicken flour odorless. As I find out more useful info I will add here: African Keto Diet's Chicken Flour Recipe: th-cam.com/video/FAgqCvS9Jws/w-d-xo.html Mel's Clean Keto Chicken Flour (written recipe in comments): th-cam.com/users/shortsWOweWq4u2AQ
I love how humble you are, you didn't boast about your flour not once. Rather you showed us WHY this flour will help us. Thank you for the education too, I learned so much. You gave evidence of why you're saying what you're saying. I know that with a zero total carb flour there's no way we wont lose weight. You're amazing!
I used your CK (chicken) flour to make fried fish! Spectacular!! Process: Seasoned fish, dredged in Bamboo Fiber, then beaten egg with a little water, and finally dredged in your CK Flour. Let sit on a baking rack for 15 mins and then fried in Avocado oil using a cast iron skillet. Hubby said if I had not told him, he would have believed it was fried in seasoned white flour. Delicious!
This does sound delicious. Now I’m slowly moving from… skeptical about chicken flour… to… Maybe chicken flour… to, it’ll be worth it, if even just for recipes like this one. Thanks for sharing! And thanks to you Mel. Love your fun spirit. Absolutely awesome. 🥰
Mel you are a genius!! I just mixed my first batch of your almond flour. I then used the flour to make your bun/ bread recipe . This is the first time in 5 years that a bread product actually tastes like, feels like and stays together like a bread product!!!! I am so in love! I am in America and was using a recipe that an American lady made. I was disappointed in how her recipe turned out. So I started searching TH-cam and found you. I am so happy I did. I see lots of baking in my future now. Thank you!!
Oh Wanda...I'm so happy you liked the bun/bread recipe. I think we have the same taste buds cos that bread tastes like regular store bought white bread to me. I'm so happy you found me too ❤️😘❤️
Try her pizza crust with the “Tangzong “ starter. Terrific. I was a bit hesitant about making the starter, but it was really easy. I use the almond flour. It was on a live. And welcome! I am an Expat from the other group also
I’m now convinced to make chicken flour and yeah bamboo fibre is amazing addition to keto recipes. I couldn’t stand taste of oat fibre anymore and definitely can’t detect any taste from bamboo fibre.
Debbie Santiago found Bamboo Fiber on Etsy: www.etsy.com/RhinestoneandDiamond/listing/1500492173/11lb-bamboo-fiber-flour-high-fiber-keto?Copy&ListingManager&Share&.lmsm&share_time=1686591280417
Thanks for this awesome recipe Mel! Take it from me: please save yourself the aggravation and simply purchase your egg white powder. Don't try to make it yourself unless you get your eggs for free and you have loads of patience and plenty of time. I yielded only 8oz of egg white powder from 5 dozen egg whites after dehydrating the messy liquid in my Excalibur. Gigantic pain in the butt process which took many hours of clean up AND turned out more expensive than buying the ready made egg white powder (which costs a fortune in Canada). I ended up paying 3.25/oz of powder and you can buy ready made for just over 2$/oz (in Canada).
Oh man...I already tried it Tanya...utter disaster!! I feel like I just didn't have the right equipment too, but yes the process let's you experience the fill range of emotions 🤣
SOOOO EXCITED! When the title was 'flour for everyone'... I was doubtful. But You did NOT disappoint!! Along with that gingham apron!! Another vintage flash back!! I made light blue gingham curtains for my 1st kitchen back in 1973!! I just need make my own meat flour & I am in business!! I have been making a version of Courtney Luna's meat bread & it is very good! Nice that I just get to use the meat... but I'm sure the meat flour can be made in large batches also. You ROCK Mel!! I Love waffles & can't wait to try that!! Though I leave mine in the iron until they are crisp! Much blessings upon You & Yours Beautiful Lady!!
Thank you for producing keto based recipes that are allergy friendly. Since I have a nut allergy these are very helpful for me since I can not have almond flour.
@@CookwithMel1This flour is EXACTLY what I have been looking for to make pasta with. I love my pasta but the lack of a good keto friendly flour was a big stopping point. This and your Carnivore Pasta are amazing finds for me. Thank you so much!
This video deserves 10 thumbs up! Sadly, I can only contribute 1, THANK YOU MEL for sharing this with all of us, I'm gathering the ingredients to make a batch and try this out, I've watched the recordings of your "lives" so I'm excited to venture into this area of baking and making my own breads and such all while maintaining keto - I'm only a few weeks into my journey here but this is, as you have already indicated, a game changer!
Mel, you are MARVELOUS darling! I found you a few days ago. I have diabetes and gluten intolerance. I appreciate your work and dedication. Hugs from Idaho, USA 🌷 ❤ thank you!
It's so nice to meet you. Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it. Oh then you have come to the right place. All our recipes will suit you then 😋 ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, diabetic here too from Ohio! Thanks for all your hard work to give us a close rendition of being able to have baked goods similar to grain flour.... can't wait to try it...
I am a canner and have a lot of canned chicken breast. I put the chicken breast in my food processor then in the dehydrator back into a spice grinder turned out great thanks for the idea. God bless
Just found you in my feed- y’all are hilarious!! 🤗 Subscribed!! I’ll be telling my carnivore community about you and they can choose whether to use your flour. I think that with three of the four ingredients being carnivore, that’s close enough for me!! Thank you!! ❤
So good to meet you Luanne 💓 Thanks so much. It would be wonderful for them to know they have options and can get assistance with cholesterol and hair loss issues too. You're most welcome. Thank you for finding me and getting the word out ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
SO happy you posted this dear one...for more than one reason, but the most important being that it's such a perfect blend you have developed, imho. I know you spent a lot of time on this, & I was so hoping we'd hear from you on it... this very week!👍😁So gracious you are, while still making a firm point. Love that about you Mel.💖
Thanks Sammy ❤️ Lol oh gosh...are you saying you know what happened this week behind the Scenes? It's just that your message is so pertinent for us right now. Thanks so much my lady ❤️😘❤️
I have a friend who literally tested positive for every single food-including chicken and beef. I encouraged her to try beef that is grass FINISHED in case her reaction to beef was because the cow was fed corn -which is highly allergic to many people-for many different reasons.
I cannot eat mass-produced eggs because I get an inflammatory reaction, but pasture-raised eggs are fine. I am sensitive to grains and soybeans, which I presume the chickens are fed, and the protein I react to must be passed into the eggs.
@@kaakrepwhatever very interesting… I have the exact same issue and it took me a while to figure it out. What kind of inflammation do you get if you don’t mind me asking? I would get what looked like eczema on my hands only..
Thanks Mel sure am glad that you are posting on TH-cam and I joined your Patreon😊 channel I love to bake and make my husband homemade bread every other week and now I can make mine with out carbs or very little. I go for my A1C in 2 weeks I had been 6.9 for the last 3 years not on any meds for it. December was down 6.4 and with my sensors I think I am 6.0 or less time will tell. God bless
Oh wow thanks so much for the support and appreciation Linda. I hope you're enjoying baking with CK flour... I'm working on more options for us all too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@CookwithMel1I made the 90 second tortillas recipe without the chicken flour, but mixed in a tablespoon each of blue cheese and brewers yeast. It turned out slightly crispy and very tasty.
Hey Mel! You're using the words bamboo fiber and bamboo flour interchangeable but I just watched a video from a channel called Bamboo Batu and he said the two are not interchangeable. The flour is made from the shoots of bamboo and the fiber is made from the whole plant. Anyway, the product you linked is for the fiber so I just wanted to be sure that's what you meant and to also let other people know there's a difference 😉. Blessings!
Hi Mel, I know I have seen at least one of your videos before, but this came up in my feed today and I enjoyed it. You were knowledgeable, hysterical, and a delight to watch. I subscribed today to make sure I don’t miss out on your videos. I got a kick out of your husband saying „I’m definitely keeping that in“😂. I have everything for this flour except the chicken flour, I will work on that. Thank you, and thanks to your cameraman 😉💖
Oh thanks so much Debbie ❤️ Oh you don't have to use chicken flour but the way. I also mix with almond flour and you have the other options as well. Thank you for the support ❤️
You’re very welcome Mel! I understand I don’t have to use Chicken flour, I do have almond flour. I do want to try the Chicken flour though, I had seen Chris make it. I have been staying with my son for almost 2 years and all my things are in storage! I am hoping to find a place so I can have my kitchen things to use, it is hard without my stuff.🤨 Looking forward to catching up on your videos, informative and fun.🙂
I see something new every time I visit this post. Now I see that you’re using a mini springform pan. So finally, I found some thing else I can use it for. It’s been sitting in the cupboard. Yippie.😊
I love this! It’s so easy to make your own chicken flour. Boil some chicken breasts, then stick them in a dehydrator @150 degrees Fahrenheit for about 6 to 7 hours. Grind the pieces in a coffee grinder or high power blender.
Set the oven temp to 320f/160c and line a baking sheet. Drain the water from the chicken as best you can, then spread the chicken evenly across the baking sheet. Let it bake for 20 minutes and stir so that the underside can also dehydrate. Please repeat after another 20 minutes. The chicken is ready when it's hard and dry. The go ahead with grinding and bake one more time to ensure it's dry. Grind again and sift.
@RandomKeto --I haven't seen you post a video in a LONG time, I hope you & your family are doing well. Can't wait to see what you come up with using Mel's flour recipe!
Hi Mel, I made chicken flour for the first time today. 1.5kg of chicken breast yielded just 240g of flour - yikes! It's a lot of work for such a tiny amount. I then made a wrap in the microwave and it tasted strongly of chicken, and I while I ground the flour and sifted it into a fine powder, I could easily detect the chicken fibres too. Is this true for you too? I adore you and appreciate all your incredible experiments and creations, so thank you! I just wish I liked this more, because the idea behind it and the macros are amazing! 😊
Hi Tex..well done. For me 2.2kg of chicken is enough. If you find the chicken overpowering you can add almond flour to the flour. I've tried half and half and it's really good. By the way which wrap recipe did you use please? Sometimes I do detect chicken fibers, I've had that happen twice. I'm working on yeasted recipes at the moment and amazingly...no fibers. Have you considered using the CK Bread Recipe to make wraps but do half almond and half chicken...I think you will like it better. Thanks so much Tex...appreciate it 😊😊😊
@@CookwithMel1 Hey Mel, I made a wrap in the microwave - but thank you for your advice, I'll definitely try the half n' half method and see how I go! ☺
Wow..... I watched your chicken flour video and was like 😮. I was waiting for a sale at the grocery store to try it.....bamboo fiber....this is twice in 2 days I have heard this mentioned....I am intrigued for sure. 🎶 oops Mel did it again 🎶
The bamboo fiber was so hard to find, but I have it on order coming from the Netherlands....2 kg. Waiting for another chicken breast sale to have enough to make chicken flour. Need all the help I can get.....thanks Mel.
TIP: Since Mel will be utilizing her new flour blend with chicken flour......I bought four bags of chicken flour. You could buy something like $112 worth which you will save money with the $99 for free shipping plus when it is over $100....the 10% works better! So something like $112 will be like about $100 for five products! If you buy a little less than $100, that the 10% off is not as much plus you would pay almost $5 to $9 dollars for shipping.
This is so interesting. I definitely need to look into this more & expand my range of foods. I'm still in my 1st year of Keto & mainly just eating only proteins & fats. Thank you for your enthusiasm & doing the hard work so we can learn more. Stay well Mel, bukerk :)
🤣🤣🤣 bukerk 🤣🤣🤣 You're welcome and thanks! I hope you do. Congratulations on sticking with keto, I hope you have enjoyed the journey so far. If you have any questions or want to see others baking or use of it please let me know 😊😊😊
Excellent recipe for a baking flour. Seems like the breads will be moist and “chewy” as well. I’ll definitely mix it up. I wanted to ask you what your thoughts on what a great keto frying flour is? One that won’t burn so fast like the nut flours and the protein powders. I just can’t find one that has a low burning point. Maybe it’s just best to boil the meats first, then bread and fry? Thank you Ma’am and thanks for sharing your very well researched recipes!
Hello Dave, thanks so much. Have you seen this recipe? Perfect every time. th-cam.com/video/2EgFZ30tYJg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZnisbxC6YJehqNO8 Other than that ground chia works very well and you may also consider chicken flour. It's pricey to purchase but most of us make our own
Hi Ma’am. Thanks so much for getting back with me and for your extra tips! I indeed saw several clips regarding “Chicken Flour”, and used in combination of beef gelatin, egg white powder. All very interesting and worth a shot. Thank you again for all you do! You have some excellent contributions to the Keto world! ❤
Oh my goodness, I am making the 90 second bread in the oven so it will turn out perfectly sliced 😂 I just found you today. I missed out all this time not knowing you existed but I subscribed to your channel and I am going to binge watch past videos. 🥓
Thank you for your unique recipes! Chicken, flour, and bamboo fiber. I love a mix of ingredients that I can use for many recipes. Looking forward to using them. Judy Duran and Marsy Mars, let’s get out our pom poms and cheer Mel on for her success!!
If substituting Lupine or Almond Flour for the Chicken flour would I still use 3 cups of it? I understand to add a few extra Tablespoons of water with the Lupine.❤❤❤
To create the same amount of weight in the dry ingredients I would use the same amount and yeah you're right you would increase the water amount in the recipes. Please let me know of a recipe you would like to try because I will try it with CK Lupin first. 😘😘😘
It looks from the video to be quite rubbery. I might try it but I would want more rise to make Indian Fry Bread. Definitely new ingredients to me though so Im happy to see the experimentation happening :)
This is great flour. I made a pretty decent pizza crust with the flour, baking powder, salt, coconut oil, yogurt and a couple spoonfuls of flaxseed meal mixed with water. I only added enough yogurt and flaxmeal to get a consistency similar to play dough. It pressed out well by hand and the crust doesn't crumble or fold. However - do add some garlic and onion powder to the dough. I thought I would let you work out a good recipe since you developed the flour.
Thanks so much Elena...so happy you like the flour. Your pizza crust recipe sounds great. I actually can't do better than this pizza crust. I hope you try it: th-cam.com/video/sIo5q858FL0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Es18QLHQ_NnBhUDA
Hi Bonnie thanks so much. Bamboo fiber actually helps promote a healthy gut. Please check out the link in the description box on some of its health benefits. 😊
I want to try this very bad, but I'm afraid of what the bamboo fiber will do to my intestines. I need a way to make good bread as I miss it very much. Thank you Mel for creating this recipe and sharing it with us!
Hi Jan. If it's worth it to you have you thought about replacing the bamboo fiber? Would you be allergic to flaxseed meal? You're most welcome, thank you for the appreciation ❤️
@@CookwithMel1 yes, I have flax issues as well. I'm going to give this a try with bamboo but I'm going to start out using small amounts at a time and see if I can get used to it. Thank you! Just watched your bisquick recipe and want to make that as well. So handy to have on hand!
Oh please let me know how you get on. I would like to know of bamboo fiber will have less or more of an effect. Because there is a claim that bamboo fiber assists with digestive issues. Oh I do love the results I get with the Bisquick. Thanks so much Jan ❤️
My egg white protein arrives in a couple of days and my bamboo fiber, next week....and thanks to Chef Fat Farm..... Chicken flour without the oven.....so hot right now and cannot use regular oven.....so that is an awesome use of microwave. 🎶🎵. I'm so excited, I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it 🎶🎵
Hello, again Mel. Sorry I'm, so dumb. What ratios is your clean ekto flour with chicken and Almond flour and can something else replace the Almond flour for low oxalate. I'm closer to carnivore than keto per se. Also, can I sub Oat fibre or vital wheat gluten for bamboo fibre? Or psyllium husk. Do I just use it 1:1 when made. Sorry for all the questions.
It's quite alright...the chicken/almond flour ingredient is the variable. You can use Pecan or some other non oxalate flour...you will need 360g if it's used as a regular flour for keto. You can use oat fiber instead of bamboo fiber, same amount. The VWG is a rather different ingredient. 😊😊😊
I made a double batch of CK (almond flour) Keto Flour this afternoon. Waiting on UPS to deliver my Pullman pan. Tomorrow morning early (before my first “live”) I plan to make a loaf of bread. Forecast to be 105° real temp here in central Texas. Ovens are not used often. 🤦♀️🤦♀️😂
Yay Bonnie...I'm so excited for you! Please let me know how it turns out for you and...congrats on purchasing the Pullman Loaf Pan. It's so good for keto bread :)))
Hi Mel Vicki from England here retired lady with health issues now 🥴 I have a lot of whole egg powder to use up ☹️ which of your bread and cake recipes would work best as I don’t have a lot of success with this powder 🤪 once again thank you for this flour and all your hard work 👍🏻
Hello Vicki, lovely to meet you. I was so excited to try whole egg powder too. I bought two big bags, but when I opened and smelled the powder I just couldn't use it and ended up throwing it away. I'm sorry I don't have a single recipe using it. I've only ever heard of it being used in Protein Sparing Bread like in the recipe below. th-cam.com/video/nzq4Zkpq2eQ/w-d-xo.html Aside from this breading recipe, Indigo Nili also makes bread with it. You could search on TH-cam "Indigo Nili Whole Egg Powder" to get all her recipes. Thank you so much. Hopefully we can consume foods that improve our health XOXO
Hello Mel, I just discovered you. I am very intrigued by this chicken flour that you talk about. I was wondering how does it not spoil, Meat must be refrigerated , right? And I watched the video of how to make it yourself but I just don't understand how it doesn't spoil??? I do want to give this product a try
Hi Mel! I looked the Bamboo Fiber up and got interested in buying them. Is there anyway you can make or bake something out of the bamboo fiber? so us your viewers can see how it works..Thank you!
Hi Maryanna 👋 Yes there are other ways you can use bamboo fiber. It performs the same as oat fiber. Here is a bread recipe you may like to see using bamboo fiber in a different way 😉 th-cam.com/video/UzoyWLLQcDE/w-d-xo.html
I made the chicken flour. Weighed all ingredients in grams. The single large cookie recipe was dry and very dense. I will bake less next time. But it was still very dry as well. 🤔wonder if the bamboo fiber needed more liquid and that was part of the problem. Anyone else had a similar result?
I have noticed that we need to lower the temperature by about 15 to 20 degrees and keep an eye on it towards the end as it needs a little less time to bake.
Hi Mel. New subbie here and excited to be one too! I am curious if I make this flour, is it important to weight the ingredients or using your provided cup measurements will still make a quality flour? I hear sometimes that if I don't weigh the ingredients that the recipes won't work well. (I really hate weighing, but will do so if I need to)
Sorry to have to ask, just not sure and this is very important to me. Are these flours you have invented gluten-free? This sounds like exactly what I need, not excited about using things I never keep in my pantry. Appreciate your time and attention, this may be the blessing for my cooking that I have been praying for. Thank you.
Hi Marie 👋 Oh yes 100% guten free. This Flour blend will replace your almond flour or whichever low carb flour you use. We are baking and cooking with it at the moment so I feel you will definitely get alot of use out of it. We share pics of other people's creations on our Facebook page and community section of the channel...if you want to see those. Thanks so much ❤️
Hi Mel I’m in England and struggle with a lot of products across the keto world, however, I have found a company after much time and effort who I feel are reasonable and reasonably priced, both products and shipping wise, healthy supplies are on the web and offer free shipping for orders over £49 and 1 kg of bamboo flour is under £17 which I think is amazing, hope this helps your followers 👍🏻
Hi. We are just now hearing about bamboo flour in the states. Just ordered some yesterday I have never cooked with it before. If I like it, I’ll try the company you recommended next time. THANKS
Hi gorgeous Mel I’m making the chicken flour right now It has been in the oven on 325 for about 45 minutes How long before it is dry enough to further process/ grind ?
Hi Julie. There are a group of ladies using beef Flour in my Facebook Chat group but I haven't yet. I use chicken and almond, trying to cover those who want to use a meat and/or nut flour, then the recipes will work with either.
This sounds great. I make my own chicken flour from chicken breasts I buy on sale, simmer until cooked, chop in the food processor, dry in a 170F oven until crunchy, and grind in an Indian spice mill. (a blender will do) I can't use commercial eggs because I react to them, but I can dehydrate my own egg whites. Just started a dozen, wonder what I'm going to do with all those yolks...
Oh wow very nice. With the yolks you could freeze them and use to thicken sauces or you could make custard and freeze. Here is a Custard mug recipe: th-cam.com/video/870EHd60z34/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0gCAKpOdeMq3YklO
@@CookwithMel1 I found your recipe to be a bit more meaty in texture and drier than I would like for my bread-like substance. Here's what I did. All ingredients should be at room temperature. 4 eggs 4 oz cream cheese 4 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon yeast 1 tsp inulin (to feed the yeast) 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup flour blend 1/2 tsp salt Mash together the cream cheese and butter. Give it a few seconds in the microwave if it is still too firm to mix smoothly. Beat together with the eggs. Mix the inulin and yeast together. Mix in with the eggs and allow to rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Now add flour, salt, and baking powder. Pour into a greased bread pan. Allow to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in height. I put mine in my dehydrator at 115F. Bake at 340F for 50 minutes. This recipe makes enough batter to make a small pullman loaf. Just multiply or divide to make a muffin or fill a larger loaf pan. I have made this with both pork and chicken flour. Coming up: Shrimp garlic toast made with powdered shrimp.
@kaakrepwhatever very nice...only thing is I would still advise to get it as dry as possible to reduce risk of going bad. Love that you found what works for you and the recipes still work 😊❤️
@@CookwithMel1 Breads made with eggs rather than water do tend to be a little moist in the middle. I slice them and store them in the freezer. Next I will use beef flour mix and caraway to make "caraway rye".
I’m allergic to chicken. I have made beef flour so now looking for a good carnivore pastry recipe, minimal ingredients excluding xanthum gum, egg white powder etc as am sensitive to them also.
Oh, sorry to hear Sandra. Okay if you're allergic to egg white protein then it means my flour recipe won't work for you 😭😭😭 I have a few recipes that require just the meat flour. The zero carb noodles is one but you will need sodium alginate and calcium lactate and here is the recipe: th-cam.com/video/8rf8eJnM0W0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dUB--Hzzoufm9rMH The chips are good too: th-cam.com/video/YSuuEdOdNDE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pndoOyYr3BQpxCwa Hope that is helpful. But please keep in mind that because you're using beef flour the results will be similar to the beef in color. I hope you like them, thanks 😊
I made bread using the chicken version of your flour. My husband and i couldnt even eat it. It was awful lol. The chicken flavor was so doninant, and it was dry as a (chicken ) bone. Your cottage cheese rolls, however, was amazing!
Oh...sorry to hear that. Maybe the chicken flour version isn't for you. People love it because it's zero carb. The almond flour blend is also zero Net carbs but it will have a higher total carb amount. I love that there is a choice and I hope you give it a try with the almond. It's much more easier in most aspects 😊
@@CookwithMel1 Maybe some people need to use more butter? I use coconut flour and the big thing with that one is how much fat (butter?) and water you need. Maybe anything made with this flour needs (per cup) an extra say tablespoon or 2 of water or butter.
So, it would still work for this flour if you used almond flour in place of the chicken flour? Chicken is pretty expensive here right now and I am not sure I have the patience to make my own!😅
Yes same amounts. The thing is this is going to make cooking and baking sooo much quicker and easier. I'm so glad I made my chicken flour. Zero carb baby!
Can I substitute: psyllium husk for bamboo fiber; and use almond flour in place of both: chicken flour and white egg protein powder? Just want to make this recepie more affordable and simple.
Hello...I haven't tried substituting the bamboo fiber with psyllium husk because I feel like that would've turned all baking to a brown color. You can use almond flour instead of chicken flour...lots of us do. However not so for the egg white protein powder. I think the only alternative that may work is meringue powder. If you imagine what happens in baking....almond flour is just ground almonds but eggs in baking help the baked goods to fluff up and rise.
I’m looking forward to making bagels with this flour mixture. I haven’t tried anything that tastes like a bagel that’s keto. I will to test it with a regular recipe.
im intrigued! But I already have a pantry of stuff that I barely use 😔😔 Is there a substitute for the bamboo flour? I just wanna try it! Also does it have a chickeny flavour or does most of the flavenoids bake out of the chicken?
Hi Telih 👋 thanks. You can use oat fiber but a warning...it has a bitter taste to it compared to the bamboo. You are 100% correct about the chicken flour. The process minimises the chicken flavor but also the bamboo fiber then further reduces the flavor. It has a slight chicken flavor and it's delicious in breads, tortillas and such ❤️
Well we make different things with this flour so the taste varies. I have another flour that might suit him. Here you go: th-cam.com/video/-AbTy9U4wmI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zN_Gv-Sx0wWLIjdf
Hey Mel, I wonder if you could take that flour mix and add in a whole egg some vanilla extract, and maybe some heavy cream to make a tasty pancake? it seems since going full-on carnivore the only 2 things I miss are a good pancake and something I can use for a breakfast sandwich like a biscuit or English muffin.
Hi Mel I've seen your channel once before and I've tried to look up the homemade chicken flower recipe but I am unable to find it can you give me a link directly ? I would appreciate it very much 😊 thank you
Mel, have you used this flour for sweet muffins? Does it work/taste right? I've got a pumpkin muffin recipe that I want to make but the original calls for almond flour, which does not agree with my stomach, so I was just wondering, if in your opinion, this flour would work?
Wonderful...I hope you enjoy it. Oh for sweet baking I like to use half CK Almond Flour and half Chicken Flour. I can't taste the chicken...but it is different for everyone some can't taste it at all 😊😊😊
@@CookwithMel1 It's truly interesting how our palates can be so varied, though I believe much has to do w/the other ingredients involved as well. For instance, using something like pumpkin or chocolate provides a more dominant base, as they are such strong flavors. In my own experience, I've been unable to detect coconut flour or chicken flour when used w/pumpkin or chocolate. *I actually made a chocolate cake & donuts recently that had a ground beef base- no flour of any kind- & could not taste any beef at all, which shocked me! Food chemistry is fascinating, & I adore channels that are brave enough to work w/unconventional ingredients ~ AND share the process along the way! Such a brilliant concept for content because it's really, REALLY helpful to so many out here who may have time/space/energy constraints~ or simply don't care for the experimentation end of it. I happen to love it, but am now fulltime in a tiny RV, so I get to live vicariously through your kitchen & recipe testing~ plus get right to it w/a final product, woo hoo!🎈 *Have been off on research projects, so haven't been around for a bit, but stopped by to jog my memory on a recipe detail I needed- clearly out of the cooking loop. =) Looking forward to catching up w/channel Mel, & wow- looks like you've been busy darling! Sending big loves from NV/USA~ Sammy Whitson
I've looked through as many comments as I could and couldn't find the answer to my question.... Is this flour gram for Gram replacement for "regular" flour used in non-keto recipes? Or is there math that needs to be done? Thank you for this!
Ok thanks. It's best in savory dishes and alot of us found that it is absorbant so we normally add about 1/3 cup Water to get the consistency right. Let me know if you want to join our Facebook group to see the community's experiments
Hi Vicki...yes...but I looked online for the conversion. If you have plant based gelatin that would be better because it's the same amount and behaves the same as beef gelatin 😊😊😊
Hi Mel, love your videos I just made my chicken flour and got your recipe for ck flour not sure about the ck chicken flour/almond flour. How much almond flour do I need to have that recipe for making pyllo dough recipe...thanks for all your great recipes
Hello Mike. That's awesome...you made it yay. Okay you will need 180g of almond flour and 180g of chicken flour to make up the CK Flour with almond/chicken. I love doing half and half too. You're welcome 😊
Hi, Mel. I am new to your Channel. To mâle the CK, instead of 3 cups of chicken flower, can i mix 11/2 cup of chicken flower with 11/2 cup of almond flower?
Hello whey protein just isn't the same. I'm working on a solution.oat fiber can be used instead of bamboo. Instead of chicken flour you can use beef or pork
If I substitute Almond Flour for the Chicken Flour - do I use the same weight of Almond Flour or other nut flours? Also - when using the almond CK flour instead of the chicken - how much more of the almond flour would I use?
Hello Elena. You would use 360g of any nut or meat flour. Some are more absorbant than others, Coconut Flour is chicken flour is more so than almond. So when we use those in a recipe we just add more water.
Thank you so much for the information, your beautiful smile, and infectious and joyful personality❤❤❤. By the way, the tip is for that perfect chicken beh-kah 😂😂😂 at 2:15.
What all recipes do you have for the clean keto flour? I only see the one bread recipe. Can you just substitute the clean keto flour for any recipe? Thanks
Hi Michael. So the flour is the 1st video with the CK Flour. Everyone after that is a recipe using CK Flour, just have a look at the latest videos. I find it's a 1:1 replacement for alot of recipes. If using all CK Chicken Flour one does need to taste the batter before baking. If it tastes like chicken to you then you could add an extract or flavoring.

for making your own chick. flour can I use a blender instead of a food processor? I don't have one, but do have a blender.
@AlesiaLuft to be honest use whatever help grind the chicken to a fine powder. These are just some ideas to get there 😊😊😊
I just found another video by African Keto Diet on how to make Chicken Flour. (2 years old) She says doing it her way makes the chicken flour odorless. As I find out more useful info I will add here:

I love how humble you are, you didn't boast about your flour not once. Rather you showed us WHY this flour will help us. Thank you for the education too, I learned so much. You gave evidence of why you're saying what you're saying. I know that with a zero total carb flour there's no way we wont lose weight. You're amazing!
Thanks so much for the appreciation and noticing how much work went into this video ❤️❤️❤️
Forgot to add… I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE when the recipe is in the description. I truly love that so much. THANK YOU for that. 😊
Thanks Tamara. I've done that for the longest time too lol 😊😊😊
I used your CK (chicken) flour to make fried fish! Spectacular!! Process: Seasoned fish, dredged in Bamboo Fiber, then beaten egg with a little water, and finally dredged in your CK Flour. Let sit on a baking rack for 15 mins and then fried in Avocado oil using a cast iron skillet. Hubby said if I had not told him, he would have believed it was fried in seasoned white flour. Delicious!
Wow...that sounds so delicious. So happy you both enjoyed it. Thanks so much ❤️
This does sound delicious. Now I’m slowly moving from… skeptical about chicken flour… to… Maybe chicken flour… to, it’ll be worth it, if even just for recipes like this one. Thanks for sharing! And thanks to you Mel. Love your fun spirit. Absolutely awesome. 🥰
@tamarajans thanks so much... I was too curious not to explore if chicken flour can be used in other ways 😂
Mel you are a genius!! I just mixed my first batch of your almond flour. I then used the flour to make your bun/ bread recipe . This is the first time in 5 years that a bread product actually tastes like, feels like and stays together like a bread product!!!! I am so in love!
I am in America and was using a recipe that an American lady made. I was disappointed in how her recipe turned out. So I started searching TH-cam and found you. I am so happy I did. I see lots of baking in my future now. Thank you!!
Oh Wanda...I'm so happy you liked the bun/bread recipe. I think we have the same taste buds cos that bread tastes like regular store bought white bread to me. I'm so happy you found me too ❤️😘❤️
Try her pizza crust with the “Tangzong “ starter. Terrific. I was a bit hesitant about making the starter, but it was really easy. I use the almond flour.
It was on a live.
And welcome! I am an Expat from the other group also
I’m now convinced to make chicken flour and yeah bamboo fibre is amazing addition to keto recipes. I couldn’t stand taste of oat fibre anymore and definitely can’t detect any taste from bamboo fibre.
Yayyyy! Mic drop! Walks away 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Debbie Santiago found Bamboo Fiber on Etsy:

Perfect! Ordered 2 bags
It's $34 a pound..
They don’t deliver to Australia apparently, but thanks
Your personality is adorable.
Thanks so much ❤️
Thanks for this awesome recipe Mel!
Take it from me: please save yourself the aggravation and simply purchase your egg white powder. Don't try to make it yourself unless you get your eggs for free and you have loads of patience and plenty of time. I yielded only 8oz of egg white powder from 5 dozen egg whites after dehydrating the messy liquid in my Excalibur. Gigantic pain in the butt process which took many hours of clean up AND turned out more expensive than buying the ready made egg white powder (which costs a fortune in Canada). I ended up paying 3.25/oz of powder and you can buy ready made for just over 2$/oz (in Canada).
Oh man...I already tried it Tanya...utter disaster!! I feel like I just didn't have the right equipment too, but yes the process let's you experience the fill range of emotions 🤣
SOOOO EXCITED! When the title was 'flour for everyone'... I was doubtful.
But You did NOT disappoint!! Along with that gingham apron!!
Another vintage flash back!! I made light blue gingham curtains for my 1st kitchen back in 1973!!
I just need make my own meat flour & I am in business!!
I have been making a version of Courtney Luna's meat bread & it is very good!
Nice that I just get to use the meat... but I'm sure the meat flour can be made in large batches also.
You ROCK Mel!! I Love waffles & can't wait to try that!!
Though I leave mine in the iron until they are crisp!
Much blessings upon You & Yours Beautiful Lady!!
Thanks so much Becky. I'm so happy you liked these ideas. I can't wait for you to try it. I need more aprons lol❤️
Yes! An Aussie Keto channel. Thanks so much for the Bamboo fibre link.!
Nice to meet ya! I love Loka Food's deal for us...storewide discount. I hope you get to spread the word. You're welcome 😊
Thank you for producing keto based recipes that are allergy friendly. Since I have a nut allergy these are very helpful for me since I can not have almond flour.
You're welcome Francis. Ou are welcome to use a seed or meat flour 😊😊😊
I’ve been so anticipating this flour, I’m so glad you finally released it. Can’t wait to try it!!! Y’all have a great day
Thanks Chef. It's been so hard to keep it it quiet. I'm relieved I finally got it out too hehe ❤️❤️❤️
@@CookwithMel1 🤣😂 Especially during lives!! Which everyone needs to watch😁
@Chef Fat Grams so true...thanks ❤️
I'm so excited about this! I love that the ingredients are super clean! Thank you Mel for all the work that went into this and for sharing it with us!
You're welcome Liz. Yay I'm so happy this is is exciting. Thanks for all the appreciation and of course you're most welcome 😊 ❤️
@@CookwithMel1This flour is EXACTLY what I have been looking for to make pasta with. I love my pasta but the lack of a good keto friendly flour was a big stopping point. This and your Carnivore Pasta are amazing finds for me. Thank you so much!
This video deserves 10 thumbs up! Sadly, I can only contribute 1, THANK YOU MEL for sharing this with all of us, I'm gathering the ingredients to make a batch and try this out, I've watched the recordings of your "lives" so I'm excited to venture into this area of baking and making my own breads and such all while maintaining keto - I'm only a few weeks into my journey here but this is, as you have already indicated, a game changer!
Oh congrats on changing your lifestyle. If you need any help please let me know. You're most welcome and thank you for the support ❤️
Mel, you are MARVELOUS darling!
I found you a few days ago. I have diabetes and gluten intolerance.

Can't wait to see more recipes with this flour!
Thanks. I will do as fast as I can 😊
Wow, I just made this flour recipe, HANDS DOWN the best!
Thanks so much Laura ❤️
I am a canner and have a lot of canned chicken breast. I put the chicken breast in my food processor then in the dehydrator back into a spice grinder turned out great thanks for the idea. God bless
That's wonderful Linda...that's how I dehydrate mine too. God bless you too ❤️
Just found you in my feed- y’all are hilarious!! 🤗 Subscribed!! I’ll be telling my carnivore community about you and they can choose whether to use your flour. I think that with three of the four ingredients being carnivore, that’s close enough for me!! Thank you!! ❤
So good to meet you Luanne 💓
Thanks so much. It would be wonderful for them to know they have options and can get assistance with cholesterol and hair loss issues too. You're most welcome. Thank you for finding me and getting the word out ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
SO happy you posted this dear one...for more than one reason, but the most important being that it's such a perfect blend you have developed, imho. I know you spent a lot of time on this, & I was so hoping we'd hear from you on it... this very week!👍😁So gracious you are, while still making a firm point. Love that about you Mel.💖

I've never heard of bamboo flower i'm definitely going to give it a try. Thank you!
You're welcome Debbie, it's bamboo fiber ok 😊😊😊
@@CookwithMel1 Cheers, I ordered it off your link so I should get the right one. L o l
Oh awesome! I was worried because there is bamboo flour out there too. Thank you so much 😘❤️
I have a friend who literally tested positive for every single food-including chicken and beef. I encouraged her to try beef that is grass FINISHED in case her reaction to beef was because the cow was fed corn -which is highly allergic to many people-for many different reasons.
Thanks for sharing.❤️
I wonder what she eats then 🤔
I cannot eat mass-produced eggs because I get an inflammatory reaction, but pasture-raised eggs are fine. I am sensitive to grains and soybeans, which I presume the chickens are fed, and the protein I react to must be passed into the eggs.
Chicken, eggs, corn, soy, tomato allergies are unfortunately common. I've met many people allergic to one or more of these.
@@kaakrepwhatever very interesting… I have the exact same issue and it took me a while to figure it out. What kind of inflammation do you get if you don’t mind me asking? I would get what looked like eczema on my hands only..
@@thatbossybeaver My knees swell up and click. Walking becomes painful.
You are a gem, Mel. That is all! ❤️
Thank you my lady 😘 ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💖 💓
Thanks Mel sure am glad that you are posting on TH-cam and I joined your Patreon😊 channel I love to bake and make my husband homemade bread every other week and now I can make mine with out carbs or very little. I go for my A1C in 2 weeks I had been 6.9 for the last 3 years not on any meds for it. December was down 6.4 and with my sensors I think I am 6.0 or less time will tell. God bless
Oh wow thanks so much for the support and appreciation Linda. I hope you're enjoying baking with CK flour...
I'm working on more options for us all too.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is great, I liked the crispy version. I added blue cheese and brewers yeast for the yummiest treat.
What did you make Kelly?
@@CookwithMel1I made the 90 second tortillas recipe without the chicken flour, but mixed in a tablespoon each of blue cheese and brewers yeast. It turned out slightly crispy and very tasty.
Oh my...that does sound delicious. I love that you added your own flair to it ❤️❤️❤️
*Thanks for sharing your expertise and helping us create delicious keto-friendly baked goods!*
You're welcome, thanks so much ❤️
Hey Mel! You're using the words bamboo fiber and bamboo flour interchangeable but I just watched a video from a channel called Bamboo Batu and he said the two are not interchangeable. The flour is made from the shoots of bamboo and the fiber is made from the whole plant. Anyway, the product you linked is for the fiber so I just wanted to be sure that's what you meant and to also let other people know there's a difference 😉. Blessings!
Ohhhhhh! Thanks for that. I will go look it up so I can learn about that too.
Hi Mel, I know I have seen at least one of your videos before, but this came up in my feed today and I enjoyed it. You were knowledgeable, hysterical, and a delight to watch. I subscribed today to make sure I don’t miss out on your videos. I got a kick out of your husband saying „I’m definitely keeping that in“😂. I have everything for this flour except the chicken flour, I will work on that. Thank you, and thanks to your cameraman 😉💖
Oh thanks so much Debbie ❤️
Oh you don't have to use chicken flour but the way. I also mix with almond flour and you have the other options as well. Thank you for the support ❤️
You’re very welcome Mel! I understand I don’t have to use Chicken flour, I do have almond flour. I do want to try the Chicken flour though, I had seen Chris make it. I have been staying with my son for almost 2 years and all my things are in storage! I am hoping to find a place so I can have my kitchen things to use, it is hard without my stuff.🤨 Looking forward to catching up on your videos, informative and fun.🙂
I see something new every time I visit this post.
Now I see that you’re using a mini springform pan. So finally, I found some thing else I can use it for. It’s been sitting in the cupboard. Yippie.😊
Oh that's really good!! Yay!
I love this! It’s so easy to make your own chicken flour. Boil some chicken breasts, then stick them in a dehydrator @150 degrees Fahrenheit for about 6 to 7 hours. Grind the pieces in a coffee grinder or high power blender.
Yes yes yes...exactly 😍😍😍😍
Much better description than the 'shorts' rap thing with no instructions
It actually has the fully recipe but for some reason it's not showing. I added it to the comments instead 😊
Can I use canned chicken? I have a dehydrator 😊
Set the oven temp to 320f/160c and line a baking sheet.
Drain the water from the chicken as best you can, then spread the chicken evenly across the baking sheet. Let it bake for 20 minutes and stir so that the underside can also dehydrate. Please repeat after another 20 minutes. The chicken is ready when it's hard and dry.
The go ahead with grinding and bake one more time to ensure it's dry. Grind again and sift.
I made chaffles with chicken flour, cottage cheese, egg and salt. So good😊
That's wonderful Maribele. Sounds delicious too! ❤️
Oh man. I can't wait to try this!!
And to think...I've been working on it since we last spoke. I would love to know what you think...thanks Charlotte x
@RandomKeto --I haven't seen you post a video in a LONG time, I hope you & your family are doing well. Can't wait to see what you come up with using Mel's flour recipe!
I'm curious to see what Charlotte does with it too!!!
This is amazing!! I’m going to have to try to make this!! Thanks for another great video!! ❤
You are so welcome! Thanks so much ❤️
I can't wait to share all the ideas I have for this Flour. 😍
Hi Mel, I made chicken flour for the first time today. 1.5kg of chicken breast yielded just 240g of flour - yikes! It's a lot of work for such a tiny amount. I then made a wrap in the microwave and it tasted strongly of chicken, and I while I ground the flour and sifted it into a fine powder, I could easily detect the chicken fibres too. Is this true for you too? I adore you and appreciate all your incredible experiments and creations, so thank you! I just wish I liked this more, because the idea behind it and the macros are amazing! 😊
Hi Tex..well done. For me 2.2kg of chicken is enough. If you find the chicken overpowering you can add almond flour to the flour. I've tried half and half and it's really good. By the way which wrap recipe did you use please? Sometimes I do detect chicken fibers, I've had that happen twice. I'm working on yeasted recipes at the moment and amazingly...no fibers. Have you considered using the CK Bread Recipe to make wraps but do half almond and half chicken...I think you will like it better. Thanks so much Tex...appreciate it 😊😊😊
@@CookwithMel1 Hey Mel, I made a wrap in the microwave - but thank you for your advice, I'll definitely try the half n' half method and see how I go! ☺
Please let me know your thoughts when you do. Thanks ❤️
Same here, the chicken favor is too strong to make anything.
That's why we mix it with other powders
‘I haven’t heard of anyone with a chicken allergy’ 🐔 🙉🙉🙉🤣😂
Lol ! 🎋🎍🎋 And bamboo!
Hahahaha 😆
Lol hey hey...Michael is on the loose!
This made us both chuckle hehe
@@CookwithMel1 It was a great squawk!! 😂🤣😂
@@CookwithMel1 You are terrific!
Wow..... I watched your chicken flour video and was like 😮.
I was waiting for a sale at the grocery store to try it.....bamboo fiber....this is twice in 2 days I have heard this mentioned....I am intrigued for sure.
🎶 oops Mel did it again 🎶
Lmao Paula...as Brittany Spears would say 🤣 😂 🤣
Apparently the beauty industry is also catching onto the benefits of bamboo flour!!
The bamboo fiber was so hard to find, but I have it on order coming from the Netherlands....2 kg.
Waiting for another chicken breast sale to have enough to make chicken flour. Need all the help I can get.....thanks Mel.
@@paulaoyedele2081 I'm sorry to hear that. Did my links on how to source Bamboo fiber not work out for you? For chicken, have you tried Cosco? XOXO
TIP: Since Mel will be utilizing her new flour blend with chicken flour......I bought four bags of chicken flour. You could buy something like $112 worth which you will save money with the $99 for free shipping plus when it is over $100....the 10% works better! So something like $112 will be like about $100 for five products! If you buy a little less than $100, that the 10% off is not as much plus you would pay almost $5 to $9 dollars for shipping.
You're a gem...thanks for that.
What country are you in, I’ve never heard of chicken flour here in Australia ?
Australia too. I make my own. Let me know if you want the recipe
@@CookwithMel1 Thanks Mel just found you it’s such a relief to find someone who uses Australian available ingredients. I’m going to try this flour.
Yay...so happy you found me too! Thanks ❤️
This is so interesting. I definitely need to look into this more & expand my range of foods. I'm still in my 1st year of Keto & mainly just eating only proteins & fats. Thank you for your enthusiasm & doing the hard work so we can learn more. Stay well Mel, bukerk :)
🤣🤣🤣 bukerk 🤣🤣🤣
You're welcome and thanks! I hope you do. Congratulations on sticking with keto, I hope you have enjoyed the journey so far. If you have any questions or want to see others baking or use of it please let me know 😊😊😊
Excellent recipe for a baking flour. Seems like the breads will be moist and “chewy” as well. I’ll definitely mix it up. I wanted to ask you what your thoughts on what a great keto frying flour is? One that won’t burn so fast like the nut flours and the protein powders. I just can’t find one that has a low burning point. Maybe it’s just best to boil the meats first, then bread and fry? Thank you Ma’am and thanks for sharing your very well researched recipes!
Hello Dave, thanks so much.
Have you seen this recipe? Perfect every time.
th-cam.com/video/2EgFZ30tYJg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZnisbxC6YJehqNO8
Other than that ground chia works very well and you may also consider chicken flour. It's pricey to purchase but most of us make our own
Hi Ma’am. Thanks so much for getting back with me and for your extra tips! I indeed saw several clips regarding “Chicken Flour”, and used in combination of beef gelatin, egg white powder. All very interesting and worth a shot. Thank you again for all you do! You have some excellent contributions to the Keto world! ❤
You're welcome...that's so lovely of you to say. Thanks so much ❤️

If substituting Lupine or Almond Flour for the Chicken flour would I still use 3 cups of it? I understand to add a few extra Tablespoons of water with the Lupine.❤❤❤
To create the same amount of weight in the dry ingredients I would use the same amount and yeah you're right you would increase the water amount in the recipes. Please let me know of a recipe you would like to try because I will try it with CK Lupin first. 😘😘😘
It looks from the video to be quite rubbery. I might try it but I would want more rise to make Indian Fry Bread. Definitely new ingredients to me though so Im happy to see the experimentation happening :)
Hi Hayden. Rubbery certainly didn't come to mind. I'm glad you're going to see for yourself. Thanks so much ❤️
@@CookwithMel1 Im actually amazed theres only one company selling bamboo fiber here in the USA on AMZ.
As it becomes more popular, it should become more accessible. Thanks ❤️
This is great flour. I made a pretty decent pizza crust with the flour, baking powder, salt, coconut oil, yogurt and a couple spoonfuls of flaxseed meal mixed with water. I only added enough yogurt and flaxmeal to get a consistency similar to play dough. It pressed out well by hand and the crust doesn't crumble or fold. However - do add some garlic and onion powder to the dough. I thought I would let you work out a good recipe since you developed the flour.
Thanks so much Elena...so happy you like the flour. Your pizza crust recipe sounds great.
I actually can't do better than this pizza crust. I hope you try it: th-cam.com/video/sIo5q858FL0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Es18QLHQ_NnBhUDA

I want to try this very bad, but I'm afraid of what the bamboo fiber will do to my intestines. I need a way to make good bread as I miss it very much. Thank you Mel for creating this recipe and sharing it with us!
Hi Jan.
If it's worth it to you have you thought about replacing the bamboo fiber? Would you be allergic to flaxseed meal?
You're most welcome, thank you for the appreciation ❤️
@@CookwithMel1 yes, I have flax issues as well. I'm going to give this a try with bamboo but I'm going to start out using small amounts at a time and see if I can get used to it. Thank you! Just watched your bisquick recipe and want to make that as well. So handy to have on hand!
Oh please let me know how you get on. I would like to know of bamboo fiber will have less or more of an effect. Because there is a claim that bamboo fiber assists with digestive issues. Oh I do love the results I get with the Bisquick. Thanks so much Jan ❤️
My egg white protein arrives in a couple of days and my bamboo fiber, next week....and thanks to Chef Fat Farm..... Chicken flour without the oven.....so hot right now and cannot use regular oven.....so that is an awesome use of microwave.

Ground my dehydrated chicken and have received my Bamboo Fiber; let's go!!
YAYYYY ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Mel, this is genius, thank you. Can I use agar agar instead of gelatine? Would it be the same ratio as as for gelatine?
Hello...yes you can. Agar agar is more potent than Gelatine so please only use 1 and a half tablespoons of agar agar 😊
Hello, again Mel. Sorry I'm, so dumb. What ratios is your clean ekto flour with chicken and Almond flour and can something else replace the Almond flour for low oxalate. I'm closer to carnivore than keto per se.
Also, can I sub Oat fibre or vital wheat gluten for bamboo fibre? Or psyllium husk. Do I just use it 1:1 when made. Sorry for all the questions.
It's quite alright...the chicken/almond flour ingredient is the variable. You can use Pecan or some other non oxalate flour...you will need 360g if it's used as a regular flour for keto. You can use oat fiber instead of bamboo fiber, same amount. The VWG is a rather different ingredient. 😊😊😊
What a WONDERFULLY informative video! Thanks to @Chef Fat Grams for suggesting this channel! Subbing! 😊
Thanks so much @divinediva ❤️
We love Chef here too!!
I made a double batch of CK (almond flour) Keto Flour this afternoon. Waiting on UPS to deliver my Pullman pan. Tomorrow morning early (before my first “live”) I plan to make a loaf of bread. Forecast to be 105° real temp here in central Texas. Ovens are not used often. 🤦♀️🤦♀️😂
Yay Bonnie...I'm so excited for you! Please let me know how it turns out for you and...congrats on purchasing the Pullman Loaf Pan. It's so good for keto bread :)))
Lol dredging chicken in egg and then in chicken flour before frying. Keeping it in the family. 😂
Lol...that's why I just had to make a chicken noise 🤣
Hi Mel Vicki from England here retired lady with health issues now 🥴 I have a lot of whole egg powder to use up ☹️ which of your bread and cake recipes would work best as I don’t have a lot of success with this powder 🤪 once again thank you for this flour and all your hard work 👍🏻
Hello Vicki, lovely to meet you. I was so excited to try whole egg powder too. I bought two big bags, but when I opened and smelled the powder I just couldn't use it and ended up throwing it away. I'm sorry I don't have a single recipe using it. I've only ever heard of it being used in Protein Sparing Bread like in the recipe below.
th-cam.com/video/nzq4Zkpq2eQ/w-d-xo.html
Aside from this breading recipe, Indigo Nili also makes bread with it. You could search on TH-cam "Indigo Nili Whole Egg Powder" to get all her recipes.
Thank you so much. Hopefully we can consume foods that improve our health XOXO
Hello Mel, I just discovered you. I am very intrigued by this chicken flour that you talk about. I was wondering how does it not spoil, Meat must be refrigerated , right? And I watched the video of how to make it yourself but I just don't understand how it doesn't spoil??? I do want to give this product a try
Hello, great to to meet you Sandra. We store the chicken flour in the freezer. If you have any other questions please let me know ❤️
Hi Mel! I looked the Bamboo Fiber up and got interested in buying them. Is there anyway you can make or bake something out of the bamboo fiber? so us your viewers can see how it works..Thank you!
Hi Maryanna 👋
Yes there are other ways you can use bamboo fiber. It performs the same as oat fiber. Here is a bread recipe you may like to see using bamboo fiber in a different way 😉
th-cam.com/video/UzoyWLLQcDE/w-d-xo.html
I made the chicken flour. Weighed all ingredients in grams. The single large cookie recipe was dry and very dense. I will bake less next time. But it was still very dry as well. 🤔wonder if the bamboo fiber needed more liquid and that was part of the problem. Anyone else had a similar result?
I have noticed that we need to lower the temperature by about 15 to 20 degrees and keep an eye on it towards the end as it needs a little less time to bake.
Hi Mel. New subbie here and excited to be one too! I am curious if I make this flour, is it important to weight the ingredients or using your provided cup measurements will still make a quality flour? I hear sometimes that if I don't weigh the ingredients that the recipes won't work well. (I really hate weighing, but will do so if I need to)
So nice to meet you Sherri 💓
When I measured in cups I tightly packed it so just for the flour I would say measure in grams. Thanks so much ❤️
Sorry to have to ask, just not sure and this is very important to me. Are these flours you have invented gluten-free? This sounds like exactly what I need, not excited about using
things I never keep in my pantry. Appreciate your time and attention, this may be the blessing for my cooking that I have been praying for. Thank you.
Hi Marie 👋
Oh yes 100% guten free. This Flour blend will replace your almond flour or whichever low carb flour you use. We are baking and cooking with it at the moment so I feel you will definitely get alot of use out of it. We share pics of other people's creations on our Facebook page and community section of the channel...if you want to see those.
Thanks so much ❤️
Hi Mel I’m in England and struggle with a lot of products across the keto world, however, I have found a company after much time and effort who I feel are reasonable and reasonably priced, both products and shipping wise, healthy supplies are on the web and offer free shipping for orders over £49 and 1 kg of bamboo flour is under £17 which I think is amazing, hope this helps your followers 👍🏻
Hi Vicki...thanks so much, we think alike 😊
That's actually one of the links I have for the UK 🇬🇧
Hi. We are just now hearing about bamboo flour in the states. Just ordered some yesterday I have never cooked with it before. If I like it, I’ll try the company you recommended next time. THANKS
Hi Jo Ann. Hopefully we can get recipes out to everyone quickly so people get familiar with it. Thanks so much ❤️
Hi gorgeous Mel
I’m making the chicken flour right now
It has been in the oven on 325 for about 45 minutes
How long before it is dry enough to further process/ grind ?
@@ursuladozier3296I'm so sorry. Only saw this now. TH-cam doesn't notify us about comments in threads.
The chicken cluck made me laugh! Thanks for the flour recipe. I’m currently BBBE, but may not stay strictly that way forever.
Lol Denis we laughed too...had to leave that in 🤣
Oh good for you...we tried BBBE and it's hard. I wonder if powdered beef would be allowed on BBBE...
@@CookwithMel1 I'm pretty sure it would. Have you ever made it? I would rather have that as flour than chicken.
Hi Julie. There are a group of ladies using beef Flour in my Facebook Chat group but I haven't yet. I use chicken and almond, trying to cover those who want to use a meat and/or nut flour, then the recipes will work with either.
@@CookwithMel1 do you know what type of beef they use? I'm not on Facebook.
This sounds great. I make my own chicken flour from chicken breasts I buy on sale, simmer until cooked, chop in the food processor, dry in a 170F oven until crunchy, and grind in an Indian spice mill. (a blender will do) I can't use commercial eggs because I react to them, but I can dehydrate my own egg whites. Just started a dozen, wonder what I'm going to do with all those yolks...
Oh wow very nice. With the yolks you could freeze them and use to thicken sauces or you could make custard and freeze.
Here is a Custard mug recipe:

@@CookwithMel1 I found your recipe to be a bit more meaty in texture and drier than I would like for my bread-like substance. Here's what I did.
All ingredients should be at room temperature.
4 eggs
4 oz cream cheese
4 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon yeast
1 tsp inulin (to feed the yeast)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup flour blend
1/2 tsp salt
Mash together the cream cheese and butter. Give it a few seconds in the microwave if it is still too firm to mix smoothly. Beat together with the eggs. Mix the inulin and yeast together. Mix in with the eggs and allow to rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Now add flour, salt, and baking powder. Pour into a greased bread pan. Allow to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in height. I put mine in my dehydrator at 115F. Bake at 340F for 50 minutes. This recipe makes enough batter to make a small pullman loaf. Just multiply or divide to make a muffin or fill a larger loaf pan.
I have made this with both pork and chicken flour. Coming up: Shrimp garlic toast made with powdered shrimp.
@kaakrepwhatever very nice...only thing is I would still advise to get it as dry as possible to reduce risk of going bad. Love that you found what works for you and the recipes still work 😊❤️
@@CookwithMel1 Breads made with eggs rather than water do tend to be a little moist in the middle. I slice them and store them in the freezer. Next I will use beef flour mix and caraway to make "caraway rye".
Where do you find chicken flour?
So excited made my own chicken flour today my bamboo fiber came imma baking today 🎉
I'm so happy for you Stacey...Finally it's arrived!!
I’m allergic to chicken. I have made beef flour so now looking for a good carnivore pastry recipe, minimal ingredients excluding xanthum gum, egg white powder etc as am sensitive to them also.
Oh, sorry to hear Sandra. Okay if you're allergic to egg white protein then it means my flour recipe won't work for you 😭😭😭
I have a few recipes that require just the meat flour. The zero carb noodles is one but you will need sodium alginate and calcium lactate and here is the recipe: th-cam.com/video/8rf8eJnM0W0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dUB--Hzzoufm9rMH
The chips are good too: th-cam.com/video/YSuuEdOdNDE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pndoOyYr3BQpxCwa
Hope that is helpful. But please keep in mind that because you're using beef flour the results will be similar to the beef in color.
I hope you like them, thanks 😊
I made bread using the chicken version of your flour. My husband and i couldnt even eat it. It was awful lol. The chicken flavor was so doninant, and it was dry as a (chicken ) bone. Your cottage cheese rolls, however, was amazing!
Oh...sorry to hear that. Maybe the chicken flour version isn't for you. People love it because it's zero carb. The almond flour blend is also zero Net carbs but it will have a higher total carb amount. I love that there is a choice and I hope you give it a try with the almond. It's much more easier in most aspects 😊
@@CookwithMel1 Maybe some people need to use more butter? I use coconut flour and the big thing with that one is how much fat (butter?) and water you need. Maybe anything made with this flour needs (per cup) an extra say tablespoon or 2 of water or butter.
So, it would still work for this flour if you used almond flour in place of the chicken flour? Chicken is pretty expensive here right now and I am not sure I have the patience to make my own!😅
Yes it would work with any powder we add in place of the chicken...lol
@@CookwithMel1 same amounts?
Oh, good! As much as I would like to make chicken flour, I have a feeling it would be too involved for me! I'm kinda lazy.....🤣
@@sheryltomlinson8382 ditto. There's a lot of cooking in low carb.
Yes same amounts. The thing is this is going to make cooking and baking sooo much quicker and easier. I'm so glad I made my chicken flour. Zero carb baby!

Can I substitute: psyllium husk for bamboo fiber; and use almond flour in place of both: chicken flour and white egg protein powder? Just want to make this recepie more affordable and simple.
Hello...I haven't tried substituting the bamboo fiber with psyllium husk because I feel like that would've turned all baking to a brown color. You can use almond flour instead of chicken flour...lots of us do. However not so for the egg white protein powder. I think the only alternative that may work is meringue powder. If you imagine what happens in baking....almond flour is just ground almonds but eggs in baking help the baked goods to fluff up and rise.
I just subscribed! You and your husband are adorable!! Thank you.
Thanks so much Penney ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@CookwithMel1 We need to thank you for all your hard work!
Appreciate all the love ❤️
Hello Mel, after cooking and shredding the chicken do you put it in a pan in the oven (which temp and for how long?) before making the flour?
Hi Ruth 👋
I bake it at 150F and mix it and redistribute after 10 minutes...then bake again for another 10. It should be nice and dry 😊
Well done Mel!
Thanks Mike ❤️
Well done again Mel love Granny Helen
Thanks so much Granny Helen 😘😘😘
I’m looking forward to making bagels with this flour mixture. I haven’t tried anything that tastes like a bagel that’s keto. I will to test it with a regular recipe.
Hope you enjoy, sounds great!
im intrigued! But I already have a pantry of stuff that I barely use 😔😔 Is there a substitute for the bamboo flour? I just wanna try it!
Also does it have a chickeny flavour or does most of the flavenoids bake out of the chicken?
Hi Telih 👋 thanks.
You can use oat fiber but a warning...it has a bitter taste to it compared to the bamboo. You are 100% correct about the chicken flour. The process minimises the chicken flavor but also the bamboo fiber then further reduces the flavor. It has a slight chicken flavor and it's delicious in breads, tortillas and such ❤️
I have been waiting weeks! My bamboo fiber gets here tomorrow!!!
Omg I'm so excited for you!!!!
Our son is allergic to poultry......How is the taste ? don't care for coconut or almond flower
Well we make different things with this flour so the taste varies. I have another flour that might suit him. Here you go:

Thanks for making a keto blend w/o nuts! How does it work in cookies, etc... ?
You're welcome...I didn't enjoy using it in sweet baking to be honest. Some people can't taste the chicken but myself and some others can 😊
@@CookwithMel1 Great, thank you!
Hey Mel, I wonder if you could take that flour mix and add in a whole egg some vanilla extract, and maybe some heavy cream to make a tasty pancake? it seems since going full-on carnivore the only 2 things I miss are a good pancake and something I can use for a breakfast sandwich like a biscuit or English muffin.
Hey hey...I have made bisquick pancakes...was very happy with the results. I bet if you tried it it would work!
Hi Mel I've seen your channel once before and I've tried to look up the homemade chicken flower recipe but I am unable to find it can you give me a link directly ? I would appreciate it very much 😊 thank you
Sure Annabella. Here you go. The written recipe is in the comments:

Mel, have you used this flour for sweet muffins? Does it work/taste right? I've got a pumpkin muffin recipe that I want to make but the original calls for almond flour, which does not agree with my stomach, so I was just wondering, if in your opinion, this flour would work?
I know that the CK Flour is a great substitute for almond flour....1:1
I loved the way my muffins turned out
@@CookwithMel1 Thanks. As soon as my chicken flour is made I'll be baking!
Wonderful...I hope you enjoy it. Oh for sweet baking I like to use half CK Almond Flour and half Chicken Flour. I can't taste the chicken...but it is different for everyone some can't taste it at all 😊😊😊
@@CookwithMel1 Thanks for the tips.
@@CookwithMel1 It's truly interesting how our palates can be so varied, though I believe much has to do w/the other ingredients involved as well. For instance, using something like pumpkin or chocolate provides a more dominant base, as they are such strong flavors. In my own experience, I've been unable to detect coconut flour or chicken flour when used w/pumpkin or chocolate. *I actually made a chocolate cake & donuts recently that had a ground beef base- no flour of any kind- & could not taste any beef at all, which shocked me! Food chemistry is fascinating, & I adore channels that are brave enough to work w/unconventional ingredients ~ AND share the process along the way!
Such a brilliant concept for content because it's really, REALLY helpful to so many out here who may have time/space/energy constraints~ or simply don't care for the experimentation end of it. I happen to love it, but am now fulltime in a tiny RV, so I get to live vicariously through your kitchen & recipe testing~ plus get right to it w/a final product, woo hoo!🎈
*Have been off on research projects, so haven't been around for a bit, but stopped by to jog my memory on a recipe detail I needed- clearly out of the cooking loop. =) Looking forward to catching up w/channel Mel, & wow- looks like you've been busy darling! Sending big loves from NV/USA~ Sammy Whitson
I've looked through as many comments as I could and couldn't find the answer to my question.... Is this flour gram for Gram replacement for "regular" flour used in non-keto recipes? Or is there math that needs to be done?
Thank you for this!
Hello Diana
Honestly it works in most recipes but not all...and then there's also the question of which combination you're using.
I'm wanting to try my hand at making the chicken flour, so that would be the flour recipe I'd want to try first. 🤤
Ok thanks. It's best in savory dishes and alot of us found that it is absorbant so we normally add about 1/3 cup Water to get the consistency right. Let me know if you want to join our Facebook group to see the community's experiments
Hi Mel England again you say 1.1/2 tbsp of agar agar is that per mix of your flour please, thank you for all your hard work 🙏👌
Hi Vicki...yes...but I looked online for the conversion. If you have plant based gelatin that would be better because it's the same amount and behaves the same as beef gelatin 😊😊😊
Hi Mel, love your videos I just made my chicken flour and got your recipe for ck flour not sure about the ck chicken flour/almond flour. How much almond flour do I need to have that recipe for making pyllo dough recipe...thanks for all your great recipes
Hello Mike. That's awesome...you made it yay.
Okay you will need 180g of almond flour and 180g of chicken flour to make up the CK Flour with almond/chicken. I love doing half and half too. You're welcome 😊
Thank so much!
Hi Mel just wanted to verify when making one minute bread you say 1 egg white, is that 1 egg white from 1 egg or 1 tablespoon of liquid egg white?
Hi Angela. I used and egg white from an egg but you can use liquid as well 😊😊😊
Hi, Mel. I am new to your Channel. To mâle the CK, instead of 3 cups of chicken flower, can i mix 11/2 cup of chicken flower with 11/2 cup of almond flower?
Nice to meet you Brigitte 😊
Yes you can. It still works.
Thanks so much ❤️
Hi, would like to know can I use whey protein powder to replace egg white powder? What's the substitute flour for bamboo fiber and chicken flour?
Hello whey protein just isn't the same. I'm working on a solution.oat fiber can be used instead of bamboo. Instead of chicken flour you can use beef or pork
If I substitute Almond Flour for the Chicken Flour - do I use the same weight of Almond Flour or other nut flours? Also - when using the almond CK flour instead of the chicken - how much more of the almond flour would I use?
Hello Elena. You would use 360g of any nut or meat flour. Some are more absorbant than others, Coconut Flour is chicken flour is more so than almond. So when we use those in a recipe we just add more water.
What type of gelatin powder should I use?
I have had so much success with your recipes. Thanks in advance for all you share 🙏🏽
Yay! So happy to hear that Dina. Yes unflavoured beef gelatin that's in powder form 😊😊😊

What all recipes do you have for the clean keto flour? I only see the one bread recipe. Can you just substitute the clean keto flour for any recipe? Thanks
Hi Michael. So the flour is the 1st video with the CK Flour. Everyone after that is a recipe using CK Flour, just have a look at the latest videos. I find it's a 1:1 replacement for alot of recipes. If using all CK Chicken Flour one does need to taste the batter before baking. If it tastes like chicken to you then you could add an extract or flavoring.
