Question Re: Almond Flour Pancake Recipe


TrickyMama

Recommended Posts

I have Elana's Almond Flour Cookbook. I made the pancakes this morning for the second time. (I use Honeyville Blanched Almond Four, NOT meal.) The first time, they were super runny and they got super dark. This time I added 1/4 c. extra almond flour, which helped a little. Still, they came out really dark. They don't taste burned but they look burned. Is that the grapeseed oil? Anyone had this happen and figured out how to fix the problem? Your help would be appreciated. I think these are the most nutritious (and second best tasting) gluten-free pancakes I've learned to make and my kids LOVE them, so I'd like to figure out how to perfect making them. Thanks in advance.

I use almond meal for pancakes and quick breads, sometimes mixed with sorghum and amaranth. They typically come out darker than a white wheat flour pancake, a deep golden brown color, but not burnt looking.

Almond meal cooks differently than wheat flour, it is more prone to burning at higher temperatures and needs to be cooked a bit more slowly, and watched carefully.

Grapeseed oil can be used at pretty high temperatures, so that may part of the problem. I use olive oil for everything and it has a lower temperature requirement which means I can't burn things as easily as it's more prone to smoking first.

I will start them in a cast iron pan on the stove top, preheating the pan and oil but not to smoke point, and when the bottom is cooked, (at first the batter will bubble, but then at the lower temp it has to cook a bit longer, I use my sense of smell and pry up an edge to peek at it ) then I finish the tops by setting it under the pre heated broiler, but one does NOT take your eyes off of it under there, because the tops then finish very quickly, and when they are done, they are done and they're going to burn next.

Another thing I have noticed is that if you use agave nectar for the sweetener, it will turn things more of a golden brown color. So will honey or molasses, compared to white or brown sugars.

I haven't ever made Elana's recipe but I have made my own almond flour pancakes and yes you need to preheat pan or griddle and cook on a low temp so they don't burn. I have read on her website that she makes her pancakes in a very small size, no more than a couple of inches in diameter, and this might be a quicker way to cook them.

      Can you post what blood tests were done specifically for celiac disease, the results and reference ranges if available? If her gluten intake was reduced prior to the blood draw it certainly could result in false negatives on some tests. There is also the possibility that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      There is a good paper here on causes of seronegative villous blunting. The most common is seronegative coeliac disease. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      Desperately in need of some advice of possible 🫠 (sorry for the long post but I’m one exhausted mama) My daughter is just gone 2 years old, for as long as I can remember she’s had problems with her stomach, she was diagnosed with a Dairy and Soy allergy so has been dairy and soya free since around 7 weeks old. I’ve been begging the doctors to listen to me and to look into it, I came across celiac disease a few months ago and pushed for her to be tested. Some of her symptoms are  - Extreme stomach pain, she’s never had a night where she isn’t rolling around in her bed screaming in pain (not just a cry, she will be fast asleep and then let out a high pitch scream and start crying) this will go on all night! - Gas, I know gas is normal but she just doesn’t stop all day and night, and it smells so so bad! You can hear her from the other rooms in the house  - Bloating  - Slow growth and weight gain she’s still in 9-12 size clothes at 28 months - Iron deficiency  - Diarrhoea or constipated, or really mushy  - Constantly tired  - Complains of leg pains and gets cramps - Mouth Ulcers  - Gets infections like ear and tonsillitis every few weeks She’s super super fussy with food and just won’t eat! So trying to get gluten into her wasn’t easy as most days she just point blanks refuses  She had her blood test done last week and they said it came back clear but was showing she was pretty anemic! We are currently waiting for a referral to see a pedantic doctor and her dietician.  Im just completely exhausted, she’s constantly poorly and miserable and I hate seeing her like this and being fobbed of by doctors who just don’t seem to understand that I know my baby and I know something isn’t right!  Can the test be unreliable?  Any advice welcome🥺

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  When I looked this one up I didn't see any gluten ingredients.
