It has a strong taste and absorbs a lot of moisture. There is a light version of buckwheat that you can get online (ployes.com - Bouchard Family Farms) and I mix them together, 50-50, and it works well in recipes. The lighter version has barely any taste, so it cuts the regular buckwheat and it doesn't absorb as much moisture - it's a nice balance in my opinion. You may need to adjust your recipe a bit - trial and error. Lots of recipes online to try - just google. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/buckwheat#post-2864 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 13:24:24 +0000 chasesrainbows 2864@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Have you ever tried cooking with buckwheat flour?

My favorite has been buckwheat with the almond flour, but I seem to have problems with the brown rice flour. Try out her pancake/flapjacks recipe and experiment with the flours you can have, making a small batch. That's what I did, making them about everyday for two weeks until I found the mixture I liked best. When using buckwheat, I've learned you need to add a 1/4 cup more water or so, plus I add a 1/4-1/2 cup of oil as well. Yesterday, I made bread with buckwheat, almond (you could use brown rice), quinoa, and flaxseed flours. It was quite tasty. I used mostly buckwheat and almond (4 cups each), and 1 cup of each quinoa and flaxseed. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/substitute-for-almond-flour#post-189 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:15:23 +0000 colormepink 189@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I'm also allergic to almonds but I can eat other nuts. I prefer walnuts and buy them in bulk. I grind them in my food processor as small as possible and then further reduce them in a coffee grinder. I used to try to sift the flour after I did the coffee grinder to get as much flour-like uniformity as possible but walnuts are oily and didn't sift well. It would be nice to find walnut flour but all I can source is walnut meal so I grind a couple pounds of walnuts at a time and put in the fridge or freezer until I need it. I find that I have to reduce the amount of oil that Elana's recipes call for or everything is an oily mess. I generally use about 1/4 of the amount of oil called for. I've been very happy with the results with this substitution. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/substitute-for-almond-flour#post-175 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 08:52:23 +0000 ebates 175@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Coconut flour tends to be hypoallergenic when it comes to "nut" flours.

Common choices to use would be equal amounts of tapioca flour, potato flour, rice flour(with gf baking soda and xantham gum added). And yes, I like adding coconut flour in these blends as well. It has a high fiber content.<br /> I've found the blended flours tend to make a better final product than using 100% of just one of them. If you're not a candidate for mixing your own baking mix to have on hand, there are a lot of gluten-free baking mixes readily available. I tend to avoid the ones with garfava or fava bean flour. It gives an off-taste to the food you are making, in my opinion. Good luck with your hunt for a suitable almond flour substitute for Elana's great recipes. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/substitute-for-almond-flour#post-79 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 09:41:45 +0000 stephen 79@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p><b>jsa11406</b>,</p> <p>you could try experimenting with <a href="http://www.elanaspantry.com/tag/coconut-flour/" rel="nofollow">coconut flour</a>.
