BAKING FOR THE ALLERGIC,
SWEET- COMPROMISED GOURMET
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

COOKING HOLISTIC HEALTH FOOD Treats for the family is time consuming! You can't just use a BETTY CROCKER mix you found half priced in some 'bent can bin'  and throw some great cupcakes together cuz you'll poison your dear ones! FLOUR AGES and gets toxic when it does. However, take heart! There is great joy in making FLOUR FREE, GLUTEN FREE baked treats while listening to NPR or FM radio talk shows. That's my trick for the 'chore' of baking sweets for the family. OR COOKING anything time consuming, really. FM RADIO!

Gluten free sweets will protect your family from MUCUS which lays the SETTING for all disease. Bacteria does NOT get started in a non-toxic respiratory tract. Below you'll find recipes I saw on TV COOKING shows when they had those bakers from posh NYC bakeries who use blanched almond flour instead of wheat flour. Blanching your own almonds is a no brainer. I get nuts for $2.99 a pound, occasional sales at the Arab Market.Soak overnight, watch tv while I POP them out of their astringent skins. Dry them a few days in fridge, TOAST before using.

Save this file to cache and memorize  names of those NON GLUTEN types of flour and all our baking secrets. For instance,  SECRET #1 in making yeasted doughs, only use the foamy frizz that appears after 5 min yeast soak. Gray water is bitter.  It'll keep making foam, scoop that off.

HARD CORE VEGANS like Manhattan bakery "BABYCAKES"   will subsitute a variety of OTHER things for FLOUR, sugar and eggs, believing that these products are frequent allergens or simply are not good for one. Owner, Erin McKenna, was on Martha Stewart recently and hearing promises of cakes, cookies and pies actually GOOD for the HEALTHY SWEET TOOTH, I was intrigued! The BABYCAKES website advertises: 'gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, casein free, vegan ( no eggs, dairy) and she can even make soy free and nut free recipes for people with those allergies. Casein is the mucus-producing part of the milk and that is why it is objectionable to folks who get asthmatic, mucusy or allergic easily. If you have a lot of stored mucus in the body, you have a huge allergic response to environmental aggravants. Go mucus free, then asthma, cats, allergies, dust and pollen no longer bother you.

As I examined Erin's recipes, I saw the tricks, gluten-free flour amped up with fava bean flour, spelt flour, garbanzo flour,  flax seed meal and coconut flour. As fats, coconut oil rather than butter. I myself would use blanched almonds ground up as part or all of the flour.

Erin says that her chef's Secret: Baking Substitutes are:  Cow's milk can be substituted part-for-part by almond, rice or soy milk - Instead of eggs, you can use 3 tablespoons of applesauce for each egg. Or  ground up, soaked flax seed as it turns to glop that binds.  (Another secret substitution for JELL-WELL is grated apples with their skins in jam making)

 Since reading Erin's site, I saw a TV VEGAN cooking host use freshly ground flax seed, swished with apple juice. It becomes egglike in a minute. AS for SUGAR, you can substitute with agave nectar, which comes from a cactus and can be found in your organic supermarket - Use 2/3 cup agave nectar per 1 cup of sugar. She also uses cane juice. There are all kinds of sugars made naturally with the minerals left in it. Then, there' s honey and maple, this latter very costly but each with its unique flavor. In 2011, I find BULGARIAN HONEY on sale, 5 lb jar at $9.99 or 2bucks an lb. Very affordable. Same small chain market that sells it in L.A> also has 34 oz imported cold pressed olive oil $3.99 on sale. So big supermarkets that offer LOSS LEADERS on chicken at 88c lb aren't always good for other items.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Ingredients

Makes 24 cookies.

    * 1 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
    * 6 tablespoons prepared unsweetened applesauce
    * 1 teaspoon salt
    * 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
    * 1 1/4 cups evaporated cane juice
    * 2 cups Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
    * 1/4 cup flax meal (More info on using here)
    * 1 teaspoon baking soda
    * 1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
    * 1 cup vegan chocolate chips

   1. Preheat oven with a rack set in the center to 325 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
   2. In a medium bowl, mix together oil, applesauce, salt, vanilla, and evaporated cane juice. In another medium bowl, whisk together flour, dry flax meal, baking soda, and xanthan gum. Using a rubber spatula, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a grainy dough is formed. Gently fold in the chocolate chips just until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. (Note, I would mix flax seed meal with a small amt of liquid (the cane juice would be  fine,) to create an egglike slush, andi n that case, you'd add it to wet, not add to dry ingredients!)
   3. Use a 2-inch ice cream scoop to make evenly sized dough pieces and place onto prepared baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Gently press down on each cookie with the heel of your hand. Transfer cookies to oven and bake until edges are crisp but cookie is still soft in the center, about 15 minutes, rotating baking sheets after 9 minutes.
   4. Let cookies stand on baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Cooled cookies may be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

You can use the liquid as a coconut milk.
• Spread the pulp on the baking sheet and bake at 200 degrees until the pulp gets dry.

~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small mixing bowl add the baking soda, salt, baking powder and flour. Mix thoroughly with a fork and set aside. In a large mixing bowl add the eggs, honey, both sugars and butter. Mix until smooth using a hand mixer. Add the cinnamon and baby food. Mix until smooth. Using a rubber spatula fold in the pecans. Slowly add the flour mixture using a sifter and fold in until ingredients are evenly mixed.

Place 24 mini baking cups (2-inch, nonfoil) into each hole of the mini muffin pan. Place a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag into a bowl (for support) and pour the cupcake batter into the bag. Seal the bag and cut the tip off 1 of the bottom corners of the bag. Squeeze the batter into each baking cup, filling them only 3/4 of the way full. Place the mini muffin pan in the oven on the center rack. Bake for 12 minutes.
Frosting:

In a small mixing bowl add the extracts, milk, cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer. When the cupcakes are done baking remove each cupcake from the pan and place on a cooling rack. Place the cooling rack in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 minutes.

Once the cupcakes are cooled remove them from the refrigerator. Frost each cupcake by putting a generous dollop of frosting on the top with a spoon. Garnish top with ground pecans and they are ready to serve.

NOTE: Almonds on sale in 2011 are $2.99 an lb, at Valley Produce Market, a two market chain in L.A. calif. and $3.99 an lb at Ralphs a Kroger's chain. Take your nuts out of fridge, never store in kitchen.. pour almost boiling water over them in a bowl and in a few minutes you can slip off (and toss) the skins. They are astringent, suitable for compost pile. Yogi Bhajan told us to eat almonds instead of steak but not the skins.. Dry the blanched nuts (I'd dry them for two days.) Then toast lightly in oven til they start to get color no more than that. Still white. cool and food process to coarse flour consistency. Ready for baking. You avoid paying 7$ an lb for finished flour.

WEBPAGE that teaches your to blanch almonds, turn into flour for baking, candies, even vegie burgers.
