I recently purchased Elana's cookbook and while it is wonderful, I have to make a lot of substitutions because I have to follow a yeast free diet (no agave, no yacon, no fruit, no sweetened chocolate (even the 73%) and I think no arrowroot powder (planning to double check at my appt monday)). I ordered the book online and was a little disappointed to find so many recipes that include fruit and chocolate - but that is my issue and no fault of Elana; however, I am pressing on and can't wait to try the other recipes!</p> <p>Has anyone had success with substitutions?</p> <p>Arrowroot powder - would coconut flour, soy flour, oat flour, protein powder or vital wheat gluten work? (I cannot have other flours or starches)</p> <p>Yacon - any ideas?</p> <p>Agave - I have used SF Davinci syrup plus erythritol/stevia with some success. I have also used water plus erythritiol/stevia with some success. The only sweeteners I'm allowed are stevia, erythritol, xylitol, and sucralose/Splenda (but not the granular splenda since it contains dextrose). Any suggestions?</p> <p>Chocolate - I can use cocoa powder (thank goodness) but not the 73% cocoa. Has anyone used unsweetened baking chocolate and added a little extra sweetener? Or another idea?</p> <p>Thanks for any ideas you have to offer! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/recipe-for-gluten-free-nutty-bread#post-1871 Sat, 31 Jul 2010 14:02:35 +0000 klindah 1871@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Your recipe calls for 3/4 cup of arrowroot powder. I am new to gluten free baking and found this measurement to be quite large. When I think of arrowroot I think of it as a thickener using several tsps or TBSPS Olease explain </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/sub-for-arrowroot-specific-carbohydrate-diet#post-301 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:24:21 +0000 Katie 301@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I am getting ready to embark on the SCD, but obviously I don't want to miss out on all these amazing recipes! Can anyone suggest an SCD-legal substitute for the arrowroot powder Elana uses in her baking recipes? I would deeply appreciate it!</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Katie </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/arrowroot-powder-1#post-235 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 14:56:47 +0000 Rosie 235@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hi Elana!!! I am enjoying your recipes immensely and giving everyone your site because they are also enjoying all the goodies I am making.</p> <p>Can you tell me if arrowroot powder is the same as arrowroot flour?<br /> Thank you!!<br /> ro </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/arrowroot-powder#post-233 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:09:15 +0000 Lynn I. 233@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I have never used Arrowroot Powder. I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me to it's uses and effects on baked goods. It's in Elana's latest recipe - the chocolate biscotti.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Lynn I. </p>
