I am wondering about the use of almond flour in p3. What kind of things can we make with it? breading for meat, veggies like eggplant (could make eggplant parm.) thickening for gravy? baked goods as long as no sugar? Bread?
Do a search on "mug cake".... it's the best stuff EVER! =D I honestly have no idea how else I can use my gigantic bag of almond flour so it'd be cool if someone would post some ideas!
1 egg, beaten 2 cups almond flour 1/2 cup pecan flour 1 or 2 ripe apples, cooked and pureed 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt filtered water, enough to give the mixture a muffin batter consistency.
Beat all ingredients together. Pour into a long and narrow loaf tin, lined with paper and well-greased with butter or olive oil. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes then 160 degrees C for half an hour or until middle of loaf springs back when lightly pushed. Cool completely.
Almond loaf:
3 1/2 cups almond flour 3 eggs 1/4 cup melted butter 1 tsp. baking soda 1 cup yogurt 1/4 tsp. salt
Mix together all ingredients, transfer to greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 F (180 C) for about 45 minutes. you’ll have to test to see when it’s done. Let it cool for quite a long time before removing from pan so it doesn’t flop.
Almond sandwich bread:

Almond Pie Crust:
1 1/2 cups almond meal or almond flour 3 tablespoons melted butter Artificial sweetener equal to 3 tablespoons sugar
1.Heat oven to 350 F. 2.Melt the butter and mix the ingredients up in a pie pan and pat into place with your fingertips. 3.Bake for about 10 minutes until the crust begins to brown. After 8 minutes, check every minute or so, because once it starts to brown it goes quickly.
Pancakes:
1 cup almond flour 2 eggs 1/4 cup water 1 tsp baking powder 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil 1/4 tsp salt Stevia to taste
Directions: Mix all ingredients in bowl. Cook in nonstick pan - there may be no bubbles like regular pancakes, so turn when underside is light brown. Serve with butter and sugar free syrup.

Almond Biscuits/Cookies:
1 tbsp coconut flour 1 tbsp almond flour 3 tbsp coconut oil .25 tsp baking powder pinch salt .5 tsp stevia or other sweetener 2 eggs .5 tsp almond essence whipping cream or milk to mix
Mix dry ingredients together Add oil and eggs Coconut flour absorbs the liquid very quickly so add cream or milk until a soft dropping consistency is reached. Drop spoonfuls onto a non-stick baking sheet Cook at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy Makes about 9 patties.
You could add a few sliced almonds to the top before cooking or you could add some desiccated coconut to the mix. These come out quite heavy. I haven't yet mastered the blend to make them a bit lighter. But they are quite tasty and great when you need something filling.
Mix the dry ingredients in a large coffe cup. Add egg and butter; mix well. Microwave for 50-seconds to 1-minute. Muffin pops right out. You can make your own almond flour by grinding some almonds in a small coffee grinder
No problem!! I put a recipe "book" together, along with what I've gotten from people as far as what their P3 menus look like. It's about a 30 page Word document. If you'd like me to email it to you, you can whisper me your email address.
Elana Amsterdam has a cookbook using almond flour in all of the recipes. There are many recipes on her website also. She tells you where to buy the best flour.
If you want a smaller amount to try it out, try Whole Foods if you have one. Probably other natural stores would have it too. But their suggestions above will probably get you better quality, tastier brands.
