flourless
Lacking wheat powder
Flourless describes baked goods made without flour, typically using alternative ingredients like ground nuts, eggs, or chocolate as structure.
Flourless chocolate cake is the most common example—dense and fudgy rather than cakey.
The term often signals a naturally gluten-free recipe: I made a flourless almond torte for my celiac friend.
