[QUOTE="IanD, post: 424669, member: 6186"] [b]Re: Any gluten free and low carb recipes?[/b] NUTS ! While so far as I know, I am not gluten intolerant, my low carb diet transformed my health. These recipes are gluten free & low carb. I buy coconut flour for about £4 per Kg - TRS coconut powder. It's a fine flour, not fine dessicated. My recipe for an basic unsweetened cake is: I sieve nut flour together & use them as flour to make in effect a smooth sponge cake - cake-bread - but without sugar. Approx recipe: 150 g (4 oz) mixed nut flour - ground almonds & coconut flour & milled flax seeds 1 1/2 teasp baking powder 1/4 teasp xanthan gum (optional, but strengthens the final texture) 1 teasp cinnamon (good for blood glucose control ) other spices to taste Sieve together & add the residue 50 ml olive oil 50 g butter (melted into the oil) 4-5 eggs beat together & add to the nut flour beat well should be dropping consistency - add another egg if its too thick Spread out in a 250 mm (9 inch) silicone baking dish (I use silicone so there's no sticking) Bake at 170 deg C for 15-20 minutes - or 150 for 30 mins. Result is a sponge cake that I use instead of bread/potato/rice/pasta. If I want sweet cake, I add sultanas and/or sweetener, cocoa powder, ripe banana, ad lib. [b]Warning - it doesn't keep well - keep in fridge & use in 2-3 days, or divide & freeze.[/b] A basis for a nourishing drink is 2-3 teasp each ground almond & coconut, mix with cup soup, drinking choc, coffee, tea (fruit tea) made up with boiling water or milk. Stir before you finish as it settles. It provides about 200 kcals - as much as a cereal b'fast, without the unhealthy refined carbs. The same sort of mix is the basis for a "porridge" which I have every day. It is much more sustaining than cereal, providing similar calories in the form of slow-digesting healthy fats & proteins.
