I love all of Elana's recipes and have been making new ones left and right in the last few months, but I have a sensitivity to almonds, so avoid almond flour in my baking. 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!

Teff is a wonderful flour for pancakes and some cookies. You might try it. There a recipe for pancakes at my blog: http://www.foodsensitivityjournal.com/blog.html

Pecan flour might be a workable substitution. We are starch free at our house, and my daughter is sensitive to almonds, too. Let me know how the pecan flour works as a substitute.

lisa,
I substitute pecan flour for almond flour all the time (equal amounts). It works fine. You just have to make sure the taste would go with the recipe you are using because it is more "flavorful" than blanched almond flour. It bakes just the same in cookies/brownies, pies and cakes. Haven't tried it in bread.Posted 2 years ago #
