Pages: 1 Substitute for almonds?       #220537 - 10/20/05 02:12 PM Edit Reply Quote melitami Reged: 02/23/04 Posts: 1213 Loc: Ewing, NJ, USA (IBS-D, Vegetarian) Heather's Sweet Cherry Almond Cake sounds yummy, but almonds are a trigger for me! What should I sub for the almonds if I want to try to make this cake? Or should I just not make it? For those of you who don't have the recipe handy, it calles for 3/4 cup almonds, finely ground. Even finely ground in a baked item, they set me off -------------------- Melissa Friendship is thicker than blood. ~Rent Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Substitute for almonds?       #220538 - 10/20/05 02:20 PM Edit Reply Quote Shell Marr Reged: 08/04/03 Posts: 14959 Loc: Seattle, WA USA I might try use pecans.... but you could also try walnuts. There IS almond extract in it...right?

What if instead of nuts, I used finely ground oatmeal instead? I know it would give it a slightly different taste, but it would still give it the texture I would think, and be lower in fat. Ideas? -------------------- Melissa Friendship is thicker than blood. ~Rent Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Substitute for almonds?       #220647 - 10/21/05 08:11 AM Edit Reply Quote Wind Reged: 04/02/05 Posts: 3178 Maybe cashews?

They send me straight into a nausea and D attack, even ground up and cooked in something, so I'm a little hestitant to try other nuts, so I haven't. I'm pretty fat sensitive, so I think it's that -------------------- Melissa Friendship is thicker than blood. ~Rent Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Substitute for almonds?       #220665 - 10/21/05 11:15 AM Edit Reply Quote khyricat Reged: 08/05/04 Posts: 3612 Loc: Michigan what about replacing them with just some coarse flour or another grain? or leaving them out altogether? -------------------- Dietetics Student (anticipating RD exam in Aug 2010) IBS - A Dairy Allergic Fructose and MSG intollerant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Or...       #220697 - 10/21/05 06:14 PM Edit Reply Quote Wind Reged: 04/02/05 Posts: 3178 Perhaps leave them out of the recipe altogether and just use more cherries? That's what I'd do if I were baking it for me. Kate, IBS-D. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
