Re: Don't use honey -- was Fructose Intolerance and Diet

[Guest guest]

Hi Kim,

I never liked honey - started using it on SCD - thanks for your suggestions.

As to yoghurt, I was using it mostly well drained and needed to add some liquid

to

maintain the correct consistency of the batters, I used the extra juice from

boiling apples

using extra water, which I always saved (I was boiling more apples than I could

eat alone

since 2 of us were eating cooked apples).

Which bread recipe do you like best without the honey or yoghurt/DCCC?

Thanks,

Geta

use honey as

my body always reacts badly to it. I've been on SCD for more than 4 years, and

I make nut

flour muffins and breads routinely -- without honey. Also without yogurt or

DCCC.

work as well, like mashed banana or pureed raspberries and so on. I generally

start off

with 1/4 c. of applesauce in the batter, then add more if the batter needs more

liquid, or if

it needs more sweetening.

can get tricky

getting enough sweet without needing to add lots more nut flour to make the

batter

acceptable. I generally use apple or orange juice, but I think any fruit juice

combination

would work, depending on what flavor of nut flour muffins or bread you are

making.
