Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / January 2004almond flour recipes?
Does anyone have any good recipes that use almond flour instead of regular? I bought some low-carb muffins from the new low-carb grocery here that were DELICIOUS.. but they were also EXPENSIVE (4.95 for 3!) I was thinking of trying to make my own... amylou :)  Signature- I made some decent cookies with home-made almond meal and then tried them with home made hazelnut meal. The recipe below uses the hazelnut flour, but almond works just as well. I used an electric chopper to make the nut flour. It's a $10 appliance that looks like a little food processor. Hazelnut Cookies Makes 18 1 cup hazelnut flour 1 tbs vanilla whey protein powder 1/3 cup splenda 1 egg white 1/2 tsp almond extract Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Chop hazelnuts very fine. I used about 1/3 of the pound of nuts and came out with 1 cup of hazelnut flour. Stir in the rest of the ingredients in the order given. Use a teaspoon to drop blobs onto the cookie sheet about 1/2 teaspoon in size. Bake for 20 - 30 minutes until very lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool. Then peel off foil. Nutritional Info: Each cookie contains 46 cal , fat: 4 g, sat fat: 0, carb 1 gm, protein 1 gm, sodium 5 mg VARIATION ON ABOVE: For a more cakey cookie, increase the whey protein to 2 tbs and add 1/2 tsp baking powder. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years.

I have never made nut flour and was curious about how to go about it,.. Also can you store the flour, how and does it need to be refrigerated? Thanks.. I appreciate it.. As always YMMV and this is JMO Jeanne Type 2 Diagnosed 05/28/02 189/154/120 What an awesome idea! I actually have one of those little choppers, paid exactly $10 for it too. I will have to try this one! > I made some decent cookies with home-made almond meal and then tried them > with home made hazelnut meal.

The chopped nuts mixed with a bit of butter also make a very nice crust of quiche or low carb pies. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2.

I don't think that nut flours would make good bread or cakes, for example. You could probably replace part of the flour without much harm, say about a third. With bread, you will want to add additional gluten flour (gluten is what makes the bread "springy".) With cakes or muffins, start with a smaller amount, maybe a quarter of the flour to keep the weight of the nuts from holding things down. You will probably want to decrease any added fats just a bit to balance the oil in the nuts. -- Gregory Gadow techbear@serv.net http://www.serv.net/~techbear "If you make yourself a sheep, the wolves will eat you." -- Benjamin Franklin n: John wrote: : > Can almond flour be substituted on a one for one basis with white flower? : I would think that depends on your recipe.

Of course, they are high in sugar, but you could try substituting splenda for a good part of the sugar. Wendy |
