What if you can't have nuts?

[Guest guest]

I went looking for the book today, but no luck. I guess I will have to

order it from Amazon. It seems that from the posts that you eat a lot

of nuts, but my son can't have nuts. Does that mean he can't do the

diet? Lori

Welcome Lori,

Many people do the diet without nuts. You will not have the wide

choice of baked goods/bread, but it can and is done.

Have you tried coconut flour? I was concerned about the amount of

almond flour that I was using (re high oxalate), and tried out the

following coconut muffin recipe this weekend with great success.

Honey Muffins

This is a basic coconut flour muffin recipe you can use to make a

variety of muffins.

3 eggs

2 tablespoons butter, melted

2 tablespoons coconut milk (I used almond milk, didn't have coconut milk)

3 tablespoons honey

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon vanilla

¼ cup sifted coconut flour (I used Bob's coconut flour from Whole

foods, no sifting etc)

¼ teaspoon baking powder

Blend together eggs, butter, coconut milk, honey, salt, and vanilla.

Combine coconut flour with baking powder and thoroughly mix into

batter until there are no lumps. Pour batter into muffin cups. Bake at

400 degrees F (205C) for at least 15 minutes. Makes 6 muffins.

I added raisins to the muffins. I couldn't detect the coconut taste

very much, but you may want to experiment with adding a little apple

sauce etc to see if you can mask the coconut taste if its objectionable.

Coconut flour is fibrous and very advanced and should not be used by

someone new to the diet.
