Grain-Free Baking Ideas

2 shares

  • Tweet

The temperatures are dropping and it seems all of the internet is aflutter anticipating turning on ovens and baking. Pumpkin, chocolate, and lots of spices featured heavily in blog posts I’ve read this week. Can we still bake while grain free? Yes, we can! First things first, if you don’t have almond flour or coconut flour in your pantry, go pick some up (or order on Amazon like I did). I tried several grain free baking recipes yesterday and enjoyed the results.

These coconut banana muffins made me forget that I was grain free. Slightly sweet, dense (but not too much) and full of great flavor. Now I can enjoy a muffin instead of eggs in the morning.

Elana’s paleo bread is fantastic. Buttery (and there isn’t any butter in the recipe!), springy – just like “normal” bread, and a it was huge hit with everyone in the family. A piece of this alone or with some nut butter smeared on top and I’ll be full for hours.

I made a batch of these seed crackers this week and have found they are great with dips. My personal favorite? Gaby’s guacamole. The recipe for the crackers is in the notes section on my Facebook page.

Tomorrow we start week two of of our grain-free challenge. Now that it’s been a full week I’d have to ask – how are you feeling? Have you noticed a difference? I have lost 2 inches and 5 pounds in the last 7 days. Amazing! I’d love to hear how are your doing.

      Gluten free flours are made from grain, so no, they aren't grain free. Sorry! But after reading "Wheat Belly" moving over to gluten free seems like good direction to go. :)

    I didn't even know coconut flour existed! So cool! I use almond flour to make pancakes.....all you do is mix together the a. flour, cottage cheese, eggs + desired spices and you have a batch of yummy to your tummy and perfectly grain free breakfast! They taste better than the wheat ones in my opinion! Thanks for sharing these options! Gail

    Hi Carrie, congrats on the weight/inches loss!!! I'm ready to start chipping grain away from my diet and was blessed to already have a good stash of organic coconut flour in my supply. Now I just need to get at least some almond flour. What brand and kind do you recommend?

      I bought Bob's Red Mill on my last order. I know Tropical Traditions and Wilderness Family Naturals also carry a good coconut flour.

    Can I get the recipe for those amazing seed crackers? I am not on Facebook at all. I have been gluten free for 4 years and am finding myself frustrated with not being able to lose any weight. Before my diagnosis I had been on a doctor monitored low carb diet and had lost alot of weight, but once I met my target the doctor had me introduce wheat back into my diet which led to weight gain, sickness and a diagnosis of celiacs. I found the low carb too restrictive and am eager to learn more about the Paleo plan-can you recommend some books or cookbooks for me to read. I love to bake and do not want to give it up! THANKS!

    Carrie, The measurements for the almond-flour pancakes are: 2/3 cup whole curd cottage cheese 3 large eggs 1/2 cup ground almond meal/flour 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon Beat until smooth and heat on griddle. Yields 6 pancakes. I'd double or triple it if I were making them for a family. :) Feel free to share if you think the recipe is blog-worthy! I usually spread a small amount of butter and pure maple syrup and eat with blueberries or strawberries cut up on top. Anywho, that's that!

      Maybe you can make other recipes like these pancakes: https://deliciouslyorganic.net/pancake-and-waffle-gluten-free-grain-free-recipe/or recipes that don't require baking. Have you heard of the GAPs diet? It might be a diet to look into since you have digestive issues. The goal of the diet is to heal the gut. I did this diet with my daughter this year and she did really well with it!

    The paleo bread looks good! I may just have to try that! I also like the seed crackers because I'm always frustrated over what to dip it with. (Note: Guacamole with organic tomato salsa is fantastic over eggs!) And I'm loving the paleo lifestyle. I'm two and a half months in and not only have I lost 24 pounds, but I feel great! It's inspired me to revive my garden for the fall and I'm very excited to see what it may be able to produce for me! :)

    Thanks for posting this. I stumbled upon your site today when I was googling grain free recipes. I was thinking.... well, if I cut out grain, what else CAN I eat?!!!! Today was my first day with no grain and I have to say I was HUNGRY! Hoping to find some easyish recipes so that I can eat the rest of the week (; THANKS! And if you have any ideas or words of encouragement on this subject, I super welcome all advice. Thanks again and God bless you.

    Hi, I am day 8 grain free. I feel good now - less hungry than I did when eating grains - though I must admit the first few days were hard - I didn't know what to eat for breakfast - having been someone who loved either porridge or eggs on toast - and for the first few days I felt very light headed and had lots of headaches - I ended up doing smoothies for breakfast - and felt much better once I cooked up some of the pecan nuts with maple syrup which I could then have with fruit and yogurt. I wish I'd cooked some grain free muffins or similar earlier - when I needed them. I also drank lots of water - think that helped with the headaches. Things have settled down now - the headaches are gone - I don't wake up feeling like I will pass out unless I eat something - in fact I am not hungry at all - which really surprises me as I thought grains kept me full - think I am filled up now on all this butter, ghee, double cream, etc. - which is a delicious way to feel full. Don't know if I've lost any weight as I haven't weighed myself - but do feel less bloated and much more energy - again surprising as I thought the grains gave me the carbs which gave me the energy. Looking forward to week 2 and cooking some of these lovely baked goodies.
