    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?

    anyone done this successfully?

    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!

    Here are some recipes:

    Pecan Apple Bread:

    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:

    1/4 cup yogurt
    4 eggs
    2 cups almond flour
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp baking soda

    1.Mix all ingredients together with electric mixer until smooth (about 1 min).
    2.Heat electric griddle to 275 F, grease with Pam.
    3.Pour about 1/4 cup of batter (depending on the size of bread you want) and cook 4 mins on EACH side.
    4.Reomve with spatula and place on cooling racks.
    5.To store, place between wax paper and store in fridge.








    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.

    Option: add pecans

    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.



    Heres a muffin one in a cup

    1-minute Muffin Recipe!

    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.

    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.

    Enjoy!

    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.
