umsami Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Looking to try some new things for the kids who are gluten sensitive and for myself. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrittanyM Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Elena's pantry has an awesome, moist brownie recipe with almond flour and sweetened with dates. It's very adaptable as well, I've changed the recipe around quite a bit (I usually use honey as I prefer that over stevia in chocolate things). I also have tried several of Against All Grain's recipes and have liked them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie in VA Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yep. Elena's pantry is a good source. I know this even though I'm on the "north beach diet". I eat carbs. Too many carbs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks. I have both of her books. :) I don't like how she uses so much agave in her first book…and I think it's grapeseed oil in the second?…need to work on tinkering some recipes. Ideally I'm looking for real sugar, real butter, but almond/coconut flour. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmandaVT Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 These cookies are amazing: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Starry-Starry-Nights-358302 The author of the cookbook used to own a bakery in my town. These were by far my favorite cookies. Amazing. Really really amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I always tweak Elana's recipes when I use them and it has never caused any issue. I use honey for the sweetner and coconut oil for the oil. Her paleo bread is very yummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Here are four tried and true delicious recipes that are favorites here :: Almond Flour Choc. Chip Cookies Ingredients1/2 cup unsalted organic butter OR coconut oil2 eggs1/2 cup rapadura1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut2 cups blanched almond flour1 teaspoon baking powder1/4 teaspoon sea salt4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract1 heaping cup homemade chocolate chunks OR chocolate chips1/2 cup chopped walnutsPreparation Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.Melt butter or oil. Whisk in eggs and vanilla. Whisk in rapadura sea salt. Mix the rest of the dry ingredients together and stir into wet ingredients, adding nuts and chocolate chunks after the dough comes together. Shape dough into balls and squish on an ungreased cookie sheet with the clean bottom of a glass--these cookies will not spread.Bake for 10-12 minutes, until barely brown on the bottom. You don't want to overcook these and dry them out! Let cool completely on the cookie sheet without touching, then remove from the pan and store in an airtight container. Apple Walnut Cake Ingredients* 1/2 cup good quality fresh walnuts, chopped* 2 teaspoons cinnamon* 1 1/2 cups sugar* 2 medium apples, peeled, cored and cut into 8 slices each* 2 cups almond flour* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder* 1 teaspoon baking soda* 1/2 teaspoon salt* 2 large eggs, at room temperature* 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature* 2 teaspoon vanilla extract* 1/3 cup coconut oilDirectionsPreheat your oven to 350 F. Grease an 8x8 pyrexMix the walnuts, 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.Mix the flour, baking powder, baking, soda, xanthum gum, and salt. Set aside.In a kitchen machine set on medium speed beat the eggs and 1 cup of sugar until cream colored and very light. Add the vanilla extract, sour cream and oil. Mix until well combined.Set your kitchen machine on low speed and add the flour slowly. Don’t over mix!Pour dough into prepared baking pan, place the apples on top, push them into the dough and sprinkle with the walnut sugar mixture.Bake for about 40 minutes. Spiced Ginger CakeIngredients2 1/2 cups almond flour1/2 tsp salt1/2 tsp baking soda1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon1 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg1 1/2 tsp ground allspice4 tsp ground ginger 1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger (optional)2 eggs1/4 cup honey + 1/4 cup molasses1/2 cup butter, melted DirectionsPreheat oven to 350F. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and lightly whisk together. Combine wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Using a rubber spatula mix wet and dry ingredients until combined.Pour into a greased 9×5″ loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. If the top begins to get too brown lay a sheet of foil on top to prevent burning (I did this at about 30 mins in). Allow to cool for a whole hour before removing from the pan.Almond Flour-Cornmeal Blueberry Muffins 1 cup of almond flour1 cup cornmeal1 tbsp bp1/2 tsp salt2 eggs1 cup milk3 tbsp. fat4 tbsp honey1 cup frozen wild blueberriesMix dry ingredients.Mix wet ingredients.Fold wet into dry.Add blueberriesPour into lined muffin containers.Bake @ 375 for 25 minutes.

Momof3littles Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 My favorite site is alldayidreamaboutfood. She is a pastry chef turned low carber. Fantastic recipes I find consistently successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We like the Marchpane recipe from Lobscouse & Spotted Dog. We just rolled out the dough and cut it in shapes. It's not pliable like modern marzipan--these are drier, almost like a cookie. Also, I substiute a dash of almond extract. http://books.google.com/books?id=AUxWtb2t_A0C&pg=PA156&lpg=PA156&dq=marchpane+spotted+dog&source=bl&ots=VdOlT72cJw&sig=JcdpB5nJwsAvbXaiftzUEnTxI4M&hl=en&sa=X&ei=zgC-U6LiFpKOyAS0sIKACA&ved=0CB0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=marchpane%20spotted%20dog&f=false Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'm OK with sweet and savory. Right now, I'm looking for a good tortilla recipe. We use our almond flour pancake recipe, but am wondering if there is something better. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
