SPLENDID GLUTEN-FREE, GRAIN-FREE BAKE MIX

So happy to be able to unveil this new breakthrough recipe! This Bake Mix is for those people who are on a Keto Diet or low-carb diet who are also adverse to using grains. I do understand the fear of grains. When I first began low-carbing, I could not imagine eating any grains. If I did, I would see 2 lbs of water weight come on, which I didn’t like. All that meant was that the glycogen stores were being filled again, and glycogen holds onto water.

I love my Splendid Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2 and use it all the time, even when I am dieting (which is not too often as I’m mostly in maintenance mode). I share recipes using it all the time, however, some people will always skip those recipes for fear of the small amount of oat flour in the bake mix. I am so happy to be able to provide an alternative and a good one at that. I tried quinoa flour and it works wonderfully but I could not get past the strong taste. One has to toast the quinoa flour in the oven to get a milder taste and not many people will go to all that trouble.

Now I am unveiling an alternative using Anthony’s Buckwheat flour. It has a nice texture and a very mild flavor. It is a seed; not a grain. It seems to work well in the bake mix with everything I have tried so far. I’ve made muffins (they rose!), shortbread pie crust, low-carb crepes, Miracle Dough tortillas and they turned out great, so I’m fairly confident in suggesting that the Gluten-Free, Grain-Free Bake Mix will work in loaves, low-carb breads, cookies, brownies and such. I would be pleased if you could let me know on our Facebook visitor’s timeline what successes you have had with it, as I don’t plan on using it much. I will continue to use my Splendid Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2 preferentially, however, I’m very happy to be able to provide a nice alternative for those who are, by choice, grain-free, even if only for a period of time during strict diet mode. Most people will be able to advance to my other bake mix. Meantime this bake mix may be used interchangeably with Splendid Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2 or my older Splendid Gluten-Free Bake Mix 1.

Gelatin is very healthy for the digestive and immune systems and does not cause digestive distress like xanthan gum can. I had to ditch the first Splendid Gluten-Free Bake Mix 1 in favor of this one as my husband’s digestive system could no longer tolerate the xanthan gum. Gelatin helps bind the wet ingredients and dry “flour” components of the bake mix to prevent crumbly outcomes. For the record, I never weigh the ingredients...ever! It is just not such a sensitive recipe, however, next time I make it, I will weigh the ingredients and put the weights here with the ingredient listing
