Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Yes you can do this - but Google first - there is a bean that is poisonous if eaten uncooked.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'm guessing you mean kidney beans. I doubt they'll kill you but they can make you really sick if eaten without cooking properly. I believe you need to boil them HARD for a good 10 minutes before you actually start cooking them, e.g., at a simmer in a pot, in the oven, or whatever you plan to do with them.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I grind all sorts of beans into flour. True, some need to be cooked, but they GET cooked when you cook whatever you are making. I make flatbreads, muffins, breading, breads, etc. with bean flour (I am celiac, so gluten free here) and I don't worry about cooking any further than what the final product would be. I do use my own beans that I grow in the summer and dry (13 varieties) but I can't see there being any difference in store bought bagged beans.From: jaayimee <jaayimee@...>Subject: Re: Bean Flour Date: Sunday, April 10, 2011, 5:43 PM There are bean flours in some gluten free flours. I've seen black bean flour, garbanzo bean flour and pea flour. It does have a different taste and some people do not like it. > > Can beans be ground up to make flour and used in place if whole wheat flour for baking?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 What is a good bean or alternate flour to use for oatmeal blueberry muffins? Maybe even oat flour?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I make a gluten free flour blend of equal parts buckwheat groats, red quinoa, and certified gluten free oats. You can also use organic brown rice. All of them will buzz up beautifully in the dry container of the Vitamix. I blend all sorts of flours, but this one is light and perfect for muffins. > > From: jaayimee <jaayimee@...> > Subject: Re: Bean Flour > > Date: Sunday, April 10, 2011, 5:43 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > There are bean flours in some gluten free flours.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Ooh I have organic brown rice already, maybe I'll try that. Equal to what the a/p the recipe calls for? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 So far I like this article the most talking about Rice Flour and the different combinations of gluten free flours.http://www.ehow.com/how_5708482_bake-brown-rice-flour.html I also found this post:http://www.tealightfullyours.com/gluten-free-flour-mixes/TeaSmittenMomma On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 11:55 PM, <kareningotham@...> wrote: Maybe you could try something like this: http://www.netplaces.com/indian-food/bread-basket-roti-ki-tori/chickpea-flour-flatbread-missi-roti.htm . can probably suggest a replacement for the whole wheat that would work. Re: Bean Flour Thanks, I have some 9-bean soup mix from Costco and I'm wondering if I can grind it up. It's good to know I don't have to cook the beans and then dry them before grinding. At the grocery store this weekend there was a good-sized bag of chickpea flour for $3.99 so I picked that up to give it a go in baked goods. > > I grind all sorts of beans into flour. True, some need to be cooked, but they GET cooked when you cook whatever you are making. I make flatbreads, muffins, breading, breads, etc. with bean flour (I am celiac, so gluten free here) and I don't worry about cooking any further than what the final product would be.  I do use my own beans that I grow in the summer and dry (13 varieties) but I can't see there being any difference in store bought bagged beans. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
