Here is a recipe I modified that comes out very well when using either almond or hazelnut flour.

5 Tablespoons oil
1 1/2 cups almond flour (can also use hazelnut flour).
1/2 tsp stevia
1/2 tsp baking powder
3 large eggs
2 tsps alcohol-free flavoring of your choice


TLC: Almonds that are made into flour are not using unpasteurized, sprouted almonds so unless you make the flour yourself by washing/soaking/dehydrating/grinding the almonds, you'll get the anti-digestion coating that is naturally on the almonds

Preheat oven to 375.
Grease an 8 inch round cake pan with with clarified butter. Line the bottom of the pan with wax paper and grease that also.

Mix the flour, baking powder and stevia together. Add 3 large eggs and beat until mixed well. Add 2 tsps of flavoring (I use almond flavor for almond flour and vanilla for hazlenut flour). Beat well. Gradually fold in the 5 tablespoons of oil. Keep folding the oil in with a spatula until it is all absorbed. Pour in the cake pan and bake at 375 for 30 mins. Take out of pan and let cool. Cut into 12 bars and eat it like a cookie.

I buy my almond and hazlenut flour from a local grocery store (Wegmans) but it is also available online from Bob's Red Mill.

These "cookies" are a lifesaver for me. They are a little sweet and suitable for stage 1. I use all nut flour and do not add any other items that are limits so I can save my limit foods for another meal.

Enjoy banana

OOOOO, Mary, you have some good recipes on here. You must like to cook. I am grateful for people like you, because it's not my gift.

Do you think we could grind our own almonds in the food processor? I'd like to try this, but no almond flour.

Thanks, it sounds so good. And no limits!! bouncemulti

Hi Gay,

Thanks !! I've been at this a long time so I have a collection of recipes I got from books and ones I adapt. I don't see why you can't use ground almonds. You may want to blanch them first to remove the skins. The almond flour you buy is just ground almonds. You have to be careful not to grind them too long or you'll have almond butter .... Yum...that is good too though Smile

Ooops.....Ignore my comment on blanching almonds. I was thinking of hazelnuts. You can just gring the almonds in a processor as far as I know.
