If you used to make Minute Rice, before SCD you can bake. If muffins seem too complicated, ( filling the paper cups evenly and scrubbing out all those little compartments :-) the basic recipe for muffins on page 122 of BTVC, edition 10 tells how to make the recipe in a loaf pan on the next page (you add an extra egg.) If you want fancy muffins, page 123 suggests what to add. If I were your cooking instructor, I would assign everyone who is able to use nut flour but never baked to try one recipe for muffins or a loaf this week and report back on the results. Remember, SCD baked goods will not rise or remain as high as things made with grain flour but will taste much the same... only better and they will be very good so limit them to less than four a day as Elaine instructed!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Does that mean for *all* baked goods? My kids eat several pancakes each every morning & are still hungry. Sometimes that's even with eggs, but my daughter won't eat eggs. I cannot imagine limiting them at all!

Four pancakes contain a full cup of nut flour, 1/4 cup each. We often remind parents that SCD is not a " nut " diet, It's an urban myth that discredits SCD with those not familiar with it.. Elaine devised the idea of baking with ground nuts when she wondered what to give her daughter as a treat. Nuts do contain healthy dietary fats but they can be hard to digest for some, and we have to be cautious with little tummies. When there are a few SCD basics we still are not totally clear on.it helps to reviewiElaine's website and the BTVC especially when you are still near the beginning. I usually get good info by searching a topic on the two websites and looking in the index of BTVC to be sure I know what Elaine's recommendations were. We can have regressions even while thinking we are adhering to the diet very well. Just a suggestion :-) Carol F., SCD 6 years, celiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I could never get the consistency right. I either burned it on the outside and it was still raw in the middle or it just didn't taste good to any of us. I also was using almond flour which my autistic is allergic to among other things I was using in the recipes. Maybe you can help me. She is allergic to: All nuts except walnuts & hazelnuts I believe we are seeing an oxalate problem as she cannot tolerate any berries or seeds either, nor avocado. She is allergic to cinnamon, spinach, strawberries, milk, & sesame. (horses and feathers also, which would probably taste terrible anyway:)) She will not eat anything red either. Maybe OCD? She is hypoglycemic- cannot metabolize carbs or sugars at all. They just make he extremely hyper. We use coconut milk in recipes and we are not on the yogurt right now because I ran out of starter and can't afford more. I juice veggies for her which she tolerates just fine. She will NOT eat cooked fruits and veggies. She has had only constipation in the past- no diareah. She is taking some supplements. Hope I gave you enough info. I'm dizzy and can't figure it all out alone. Thanks for any help you can give. Jenn & Kali Re: Have You Baked Yet? > > > > > I remember you. You're the funny one. " parents, start your ovens " .

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 SCD cookies are easier for beginners. My son made a great batch on his first try without any recipes or measurements. He took some almond flour,then mixed enough eggs to make it moist,then added some coconut oil. He then added enough honey to make it sweet and some frozen blueberries. He put them into an oven until they were ready. The cookies disappeared very quickly. The rest of the family ate them and very little was left for him. BTW,My son is not a cook,just the opposite:someone who would rather be on the computer than eat.

I was going to suggest Pecan Flour which makes delectable muffins but appreeciate and respect that at this time there are numerous sensitivities. When the gut begins to heal tolerance often incresaes. Although i also have some legal foods I must avoid, they are not ones that restrict my cooking or baking as much. Carol F. SCD 6 years.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Because of all these sensitivities and how long I actually tried to feed her the foods she is allergic to, it is difficult for her to even trust me. Give me the pecan muffin recipe anyway. I'll try it. Kali really hasn't progressed much since the inception of the yogurt. It's not like I can follow all the recipes but, I am following most of the rules. K just wouldn't eat those cooked fruits and veggies. Is that illegal? She never had D. Seems we'll be stuck on this stage forever. She just ate some homemade jello- cranberry! All the other berries bother her. I made it from scratch. I can't believe it. One of her quirks is not eating anything mushy or soft like jello. After 17 months and paying careful attention, maybe it's starting to happen. I have HOPE. How else can I get her those carbs?

Give me the pecan muffin recipe anyway. Look I know where you're coming from. After 6 years on SCD and very comfortable with it I still get tripped up from time to time by store bought food with legal ingredients. They are just not my legal ingredients. The recipe is on page 122 of BTVC edition 10 . It contains melted butter which is what makes it so good, too good. I need a chaperone when I bake these as I have been known to exceed Elaine's limit of four more than once to the dismay of an aching tummy and expanding hip measurements. I call them my " Elvis Muffins. " It's kind of a case of " Can't help falling in love. " Carol F. SCD 6 years, celiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son didn't like the cooked fruits either because of the texture, but he loved them frozen. I steam his apple, peaches, and mango. I cut them into bite size chunks, and once they are steamed I lay them out on a dish towel to drain and cool. Then I spread them out on a cookie sheet that has parchment paper on it and cover it and freeze it. Once the fruit is frozen, I put it into a ziploc or container. He loves it for a snack that way. It is no longer too mushy for him, and he can eat it with a fork or his fingers. Debbie, mom to Carson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 I made them last night with macadamias, pumpkin and walnuts and used the coconut butter. I had to add an extra egg too. They came out so soft and they smell and taste yummy too. I hope my little girl eats them. Chances are, not. She might pick out the walnuts though. Walnut flour is probably pretty moist as well huh?
