I have been avoiding them until now but there are some I really want to try. Is there anywhere you can buy it?

Almond is a powerhouse food and it so happens the only nut I do not tolerate. I'd love to maintain the health advantages without the side effects. Any suggestions? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/dairy#post-2612 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 17:49:18 +0000 celeste4440 2612@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>My sons have a dairy allergy (along with other food and medicine allergies). We've always used soy milk as a substitute, but now I'm hearing that it's not a good substitute. I read on here that some people don't like almond milk and then my baby is allergic to coconut (just found out). How bad is soy? How does rice taste? Why not almond? Thanks so much! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/yummy-porridge-recipe#post-2457 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 08:49:48 +0000 Stefanie 2457@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>A yummy porridge I have been eating a lot:<br /> Mix the follow ingredients in a small pot.

I have a recipe for rock cakes that I have absolutely loved since I was a kid. But as it now turns out I have type 2 diabetes I can no longer eat them :-( I would like to be able to convert this recipe into an equally tasty version using almond flour. How would you do this? I made 1 batch today but I was pretty much making up as I went along, it came out too buttery and the texture is awful, dry and crumbly on the outside and almost not cooked in the middle, I didn't use any baking soda which might have something to do with it but I don't really know, as I am far from competent with baking stuff. I will put the recipe below (along with my first attempt amounts in brackets) and wait to see if anyone can help me out :-)</p> <p>Rock cakes:</p> <p>8oz/225g self-raising flour (I tried using 350g of almond flour in my first attempt)<br /> pinch of salt<br /> half teaspoon ground mixed spice<br /> half teaspoon ground cinnamon<br /> 4oz/100g butter (I kept this amount the same but it felt waaaaay to buttery when mixing)<br /> 4oz/100g caster sugar (I substituted this with 15g canderel and sweetness is fine, although could probably do with slightly less)<br /> 4oz/100g sultanas (knocked down to 60g because of sultanas being too sugary)<br /> 1oz/25g chopped mixed peel<br /> 1 large egg<br /> some milk if needed</p> <p>bake on 400F/200C/gas mark 6 for 15-20mins (I cooked mine on 175C for 25mins)</p> <p>method:</p> <p>sift flour with salt, cinnamon, mixed spice then rub in the butter. add the sugar, sultanas and mixed peel (traditionally it should be a dryish mix, but by now my version was extremely buttery and gooey). Beat the egg and pour into mixture and mix to stiff consistency. grease tray and drop the mixture in smallish rocky heaps... that's it</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Mark </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/storing-almond-flour-cookies#post-755 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 12:37:11 +0000 Winter2009 755@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>How do you properly store cookies made from almond flour?

My nutritionist told be to use rice flour because it is within my price range as a student. Why is it everything on here is made with almond or coconut flour? What about rice or potato flours for those who cannot afford such expensive flours? Can these recipes be converted to use Rice flour? You have a really lovely site. Your recipes are amazing to look at. I would love to be able to make them. </p> <p>Shiloh </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/almond-flour-substitution-for-crackers#post-321 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 06:59:04 +0000 Whoobaby 321@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I would love to make some of these fantastic crackers for the kids lunch boxes, however nuts aren't allowed at school?
