What makes this cheesecake gluten free?
Typically a cheesecake crust is made out of crushed graham crackers. You can look for gluten-free grahams—or make a crust with almond flour like ours, which is so delicious.
We also like to add a little bit of flour to our cheesecake batter so that it holds together. Here, we add a gluten-free flour (like Cup4Cup), but you can sub in almond flour if you don't mind a nuttier flavor and texture.

Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 350° and grease an 8" or 9" springform pan with cooking spray. Make crust: In a large bowl, stir together almond flour, sugar, melted butter, and salt. Press into bottom of prepared pan and bake until lightly golden, 15 minutes. Let cool completely before adding filling and reduce oven temperature to 325°.

Add eggs, one at a time, then beat in vanilla and sour cream. Add flour and salt and beat until just combined. Pour mixture over cooled crust.
