Alternative to bread crumbs

Yes, there are many alternatives for breadcrumbs for cooking. Options include nuts or seeds, rolled oats, crushed cereals like cornflakes, and finely grated cauliflower or riced cauliflower. These can be used for coatings, binders, or toppings, and can be processed to a desired texture using a food processor or by hand. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]  

For coatings 

• Crushed nuts or seeds: Finely chop or pulse almonds, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, or sesame seeds in a food processor to use as a coating for chicken, fish, or pork. [1, 4, 8]  

• Unsweetened cereals: Use crushed unsweetened cornflakes, Chex, or other plain cereals for a crispy crust. They can be crushed by hand in a bag with a rolling pin. [2, 5, 9]  

• Unsweetened coconut flakes: These can be toasted and used as a flavorful coating, especially for shrimp or fish. [6]  

For binding and texture 

• Rolled oats: Mix rolled oats into meatballs, veggie burgers, or meatloaf. They add fiber and have good binding properties. [2, 3, 10]  

• Ground flaxseed: This can be used as a binder and also adds nutrients. [6, 11, 12]  

• Crushed crackers: Crush savory crackers like saltines to use as a binder or a topping for casseroles. [6, 13]  

Gluten-free options 

• Riced or finely grated cauliflower: This is a grain-free option, but its high moisture content means it works best for coatings, not binding. [4, 11]  

• Almond meal or flour: This can be a good low-carb, gluten-free alternative for coatings and add a nutty flavor. [4, 14, 15, 16]  

• Quinoa flakes: These are a good source of protein and fiber for coatings on patties. [17]  

• Gluten-free crackers: A gluten-free version of crushed crackers can be used similarly to regular crackers. [14]
