[QUOTE="forge, post: 616560, member: 118650"] When we are using no gluten flours to make cakes, bread and whatever the smart way to go is to make it like concrete - I do not mean hard as a rock. When they make concrete they use cement and sand and cement is the glue (like gluten in flour) To use less cement they add crushed rocks (called aggregate) so the expensive cement and the sand forms the same bond but this time it only has to fill the gaps around the aggregate. Just imagine the aggregate is like bricks in a wall with the mixed cement and sand holding it together. So the trick is finding the right sized aggregate and getting the mix right. So things like crushed peanuts and desiccated coconut work like aggregate to bulk it out without too much glue. Any suggestions for low carb "aggregates" will be appreciated by me at least. [/QUOTE]
