Found A Good Mock Oatmeal Cookie Recipe

Hi,

I got Quinoa flour instead of Quinoa flakes for a Betty Hagman recipe for mock oatmeal cookies. Does it really matter in texture and taste before I open up the bag? Or the big question how can Quinoa flour be used...such as a substitute for another flour? Are there good recipes out there using the flour?

Though I haven't tried such ingredients yet, it does make sense that the texture is part of the reason for the flakes rather than the flour.

Sure there are plenty of uses for the flour, but the real question is whether you will be making anything that would turn out well with it.

Seems this thread keeps me thinking about oatmeal cookies. Either with or without raisins. An oatmeal/peanut butter cookie sounds great too.

Then it hit me - suppose you make popcorn, then put it in a blender to break it up into small pieces? Though not exactly oatmeal, it might give a nice texture to cookies.

Anyone ever try this?

Quinoa flakes and flour will be pretty different. Flakes look similar to oatmeal. Read this recent thread if you haven't seen it already... I made the cookies you're probably talking about...they were good ! You can use the flour as a sub in other recipes. It has a nuttier taste, so remember that when you're subbing.

You can get some recipes for the flour here (will have to convert *some* of these to gluten-free):

Thanks for reminding me Jen. I keep wanting to try this recipe b/c I have a box of Quinoa flakes downstairs. I think I'll give it a try tonight! :)

Jen - I made quinoa cookies from the recipe you posted on the other thread and they turned out great! My "barometer" is always how my kids and hubby like them, and they did! They only lasted a day.

Oh-so glad to hear it! We actually ate all ours too--usually I freeze some, but not this time.

:D Thanks guys

I'm always learning something new here. There are soooo many things to learn about this diet. It helps to bounce some ideas off someone who knows.

Have a great day.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
