Sugar free baking w/almond flour?
Thank you! I don't know why I didn't think of eggface... After downsizing into a small (very small) place, I don't have all those kitchen appliances anymore, so I am happy to just buy the almond flour.

the sugar is called whey low. they have a website if you dont have a whole foods near you. i made regular recipes with it for christmas. it is a cup for a cup. no calculations need to be done. they have it in brown sugar (gold), powered and grandular. also ice cream sugar but i dont remember seeing that one in whole foods.
i would love to have your cookie receipe...i have tried to make my own almond flour/meal...i have a ninja, and i used a coffee grinder...i just bought a huge bag of almonds from sams and ground them, they had the skins on, so it is called meal, if the skins are off, then it is flour....i have ground my own cashews into flour too...just have not done much with them yet...now that the air is off i can bake now..i am in florida and its hard to turn on oven when it is so hot out with the air on.. ha ha...we had a very hot christmas even...had my air on to cook that day...i want to make some carrot cake or muffins using almond flour or cashew flour...just want to bump up the protein, i also have some qunioa flour, which is to be high in protein also...i have quinoa i have to rinse and eat or grind into flour too...but like i said, i have just been gathering supplies to play with
have a great day, and please send me your cookie receipe or post here
