POWER OF THE ALMOND

From Startup To Scale

In 2019, founder Kirk Hutchinson came to realize that sugar and foods high in carbohydrates were not his friend. A trip to the doctor returned with the diagnosis of diabetes and something called dumping syndrome. I was no longer able to induldge in sugary treats as my body just couln't process it any longer. Determined to find alternatives, I bought countless low carb treats that promised to be delicious but usually left my taste buds unhappy. So, I started making my own. Little did I know, so many others felt disappointed with the alternatives most have tried in your local grocery store. I called up my friend Chavez, an experienced restaurant manager & culinary chef, and pitched the idea to start a bakery. The next day, the idea for Power of the Almond was born and we got to work.  

Under cottage food laws, we began baking out of our home treats that would be sugar free but tasted just as good if not better than the unhealthy options...a sugar free cookie without the nasty aftertaste of artificial sugar thanks to something called Monk Fruit. As an added bonus, we’d also make it gluten-free but nearly impossible to tell. A double win for not only health conscious eaters but celiacs and diabetics as well.

With your support, we’ve expanded from our home kitchen to now having a commercial bakery in the state of Mississippi and products in over 65 grocery stores and boutiques across the State. As we grow, we’re dedicated to constantly developing new recipes and making improvements along the way.

Although our strict quality standards take time, they guarantee a culinary sophistication and difference you’re bound to experience from the very first bite.

Monk Fruit

Zero Glycemic Impact Sugar Substitute

We're proud to offer the highest quality sugar substitute on the market: Monk Fruit. Did you know that many other companies use artificial sweeteners like aspartame and maltodextrin? A cheap sugar substitute that’s worse for you than real sugar! In addition, they leave the well known nasty aftertaste of diet products that everyone hates. Not us!

We use an Erythritol blend of the indigenous monk fruit that doesn’t cause an insulin response for diabetics and tastes just like real sugar! The result...well, you’ll see for yourself after that first bite.

Almond Flour

Low Carb & Diabetic Friendly

Foods made with refined wheat are high in carbs, but low in fat and fiber. This can cause high spikes in blood sugar levels, followed by rapid drops, which can leave you tired, hungry and craving foods high in sugar and calories.

Conversely, almond flour is low in carbs yet high in healthy fats and fiber. These properties give it a low glycemic index, meaning it releases sugar slowly into your blood to provide a sustained source of energy. We use almond flour in every single recipe, hence the name Power of the Almond.

Gluten-Free

Keeping You Safe

Wheat flours contain a protein called gluten. It helps dough stay stretchy and capture air during baking so that it rises and becomes fluffy. People who have celiac disease or a wheat intolerance can’t eat foods with gluten or wheat because their body mistakes it as a threat. For these individuals, the body produces an autoimmune response to remove gluten from the body.

We’ve eliminated wheat flour from all our recipes so that those living with celiac disease can finally have something of their own that doesn't sacrifice taste. Although almond flour doesn’t rise like traditional flour, we’ve recipe tested over and over again to replicate similar final products to those that do contain wheat flour. The results are impeccable.

Keto Friendly bonus

Coconut Flour

For those of you on keto diet, we’ve made sure to add a little something that boosts ketosis levels while still adhering to our strict standards for low carb and gluten free diets: Coconut Flour.

While many are scared to use coconut in baking due to it’s high absorption rate, thus resulting in dried out baked goods, we’ve mastered the combination of incorporating it so that you too can benefit from its ketone boosting properties.Rich in fiber and MCTs, it may promote stable blood sugar and is less likely to be stored as fat as it travels directly to your liver, where it’s used for quick energy production. MCTs may also reduce appetite and are processed by your body differently than longer-chain fats. This difference may help you burn slightly more calories
