I was wondering if anyone knows of a good baking soda alternative? I avoid it because, among other reasons, it prevents the absorption of many vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin B.

I usually use 1c milk or water, 1 c GF flour mix, 6 eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon. Melt 1 stick of butter in 9x13 pan and bake at 400 for 25 min. I am eating paleo so I need to use almond and or coconut flour instead of the GF mix. Any suggestions for amounts? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/gluten-free-pitzelles-which-flours-to-use#post-2188 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:05:28 +0000 Annette52 2188@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I am trying to find the correct substitution to make our traditional holiday Pitzelles.

I am wondering what to substitute for the yolks when making Elena's recipes. </p> <p>I'd like to avoid using Ener-G egg replacer and flax. I've thought about using additional whites or oil, and/or applesauce or chia seed, but I'm not sure what makes sense or what quantities to try. </p> <p>Many thanks for any ideas or suggestions! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/alternatives-to-almond-flour#post-1015 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 12:58:15 +0000 janeslo 1015@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Love the blog, love the recipes, love the cookbook, and suddenly I seem to have become reactive to almond flour. It is not from overuse as I am careful to rotate ingredients when baking. I am also allergic to corn, but do use Italian Chesnut flour, rice flour, and potato flour - however, nothing compares to your almond flour recipes. Any suggestions? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/substitute-stevia-for-agave-nectar#post-52 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 22:29:01 +0000 rachel 52@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I'm not celiac but do have a sensitivity to gluten, sugar, soy and dairy. I've all but cut sugar out of my diet which has been a huge change for me. I'd do almost anything for a cookie! Stevia is my only "legal" sweetener but most of the recipes I can find that use it contain some of my "illegals". I found this fabulous blog last night (and ended up staying up until all hours reading it) and have sleepily spent the day dreaming of yummy Elana-food. Do you have any advice for substituting stevia for agave nectar? Is it even possible or does it end up kind of yicky? I'm a novice cook and baker and am overwhelmed by the variety of stevia options and how to use them. I would love any advice. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/anyone-trying-to-leave-out-eggs#post-84 Sat, 27 Sep 2008 15:41:50 +0000 Ninufar 84@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Just wanted to find out if anyone's experimented with making egg-free versions of any of Elana's bread or cake recipes.

Has anyone found a workable substitute? Usually I mix a little brown rice flour and arrowroot, sometimes coconut flour, but they usually don't come out quite as beautiful as in the photos. Maybe I need to increase fat/oil content? Any suggestions would be helpful, although I wonder how many almond sensitive people might be on here... However since all the recipes are grain-free, that makes the gluten and corn intolerances I have tolerable! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/substitute-for-grapeseed-oil#post-687 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:22:44 +0000 CoachVanessa 687@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I was about to make the Sesame crackers. Sent hubby to health food store to get Grapeseed oil, who was told that it's got a hexane toxin in it and they don't sell it. I know I could probably get it at a mainstream store or online, but I don't want to eat toxic food. Has anyone heard about this? Thoughts? Substitutes?

It's got some wonderful recipes in it but I can't have everything in alot of the recipes but I'm using alot of almond flour these days and will try to make substitutions for whatever I can't have. My question is what can I replace the flax meal with in the Scrumptious Bread recipe? I can't have flax.<br /> Thanks, Jebb </p>
