Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I found this recipe and it talks about oxalates. Is that something to think about? ~~~~~~~~~~ Coconut Flour muffins Almond flour is an SCD staple, but is high in oxalate which isn't so great. This causes oxidative stress and increases inflammation. I think SCD recommends no more than 4 almond flour muffins a day - I think S eats 4 a day for sure. His lunchbox always has a couple of almond muffins. They're yummy, high in protein and calories. But from the oxalate point of view: Almonds have 303 oxalates per 1/2 cup, which makes it a high oxalate food. I think I need to start experimenting with other nut flours: Peanuts - less at 119 per 1/2 cup. Macadamias 27 oxalates per 1/2 cup Walnuts 45 per 1/2 cup Pistachios 32 per 1/2 cup Coconut Flour is another great alternative, and here are a couple of recipes that I am going to try from: http://www.simplycoconut.com/coconut_flour_recipes.htm Honey Muffins This is a basic coconut four muffin recipe you can use to make a variety of muffins. 3 eggs 2 tablespoons ghee 2 tablespoons coconut milk [ I used almond milk] 3 tablespoons honey ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon vanilla ¼ cup sifted coconut flour [bob's red mill coconut flour] 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 tried this out this weekend. They turned out great. I added raisins to the batter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what the issues are. SCD is a balanced and balancing diet. Most people don't have issues with almond flour. Some people find pecan flour or butter to work better for them. SOme people use both. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
