If your grocery store is low on flour, and you’re still craving a delicious dessert, these recipes are the solution. These recipes use whipped egg whites to give cookies and muffins their fluffy texture without any flour. Other desserts like cheesecake and ice cream are flour-free to begin with and just as delicious. Recipes like Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies and Lemon Meringue Cheesecake are tasty, fun and will satisfy any sweet tooth.

Flourless Honey-Almond Cake

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Honey and almonds flavor this simple (and gluten-free) cake. It's lovely for afternoon tea or a spring holiday dessert. Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites--they should be white and very foamy, but not at all stiff or able to hold peaks. If you beat them too much, the cake may sink in the middle as it cools.Ā Source: EatingWell Magazine, March/April 2009
