Some killer flourless muffins – candida diet recipes

Andy — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 20:09:36 +0000

These things are so good, I am honestly thinking of marketing them. Have been thinking about that for a while now – if anyone has ideas about how to go about getting a product out on the market please let me know.

Cinnamon Variety:

1 cup melted coconut oil (you can use softened butter)

1 t vanilla extract

10 drops liquid splenda (Sweetzfree)

5 scoops pure stevia

- Mix above ingredients

6 eggs

- Mix well with oil mixture

1 cup whole (raw) almonds – chop as finely as you can in a food processor (you can also get almond flour/meal, use 1.5 cups) to make almond flour

1/2 cup flax meal

2 T cinammon

1 t baking powder

- throw all the dry ingredients in the food processor and let it run until the almonds are relatively fine (you’ll still have small chunks unless you have a great food processor)

- stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just mixed

- use a spoon to plop into muffin pan

- bake for about 20 minutes at 350

- makes 12 muffins

Chocolate variety:

Same as above but pull the cinnamon and add 1/2 cup cocoa powder. Mix the cocoa with the melted oil BEFORE adding the eggs. These taste “almost” like brownies.

Coconut Oil topping – I use this rather than butter on top – makes them super moist

Coconut oil

Vanilla extract (if you want)

Almond extract (if you want)

sweetener (splenda and stevia)

Stir it all together and put in a container, use about a teaspoon per muffin (or muffin half). I cut the cold muffin (I store them in the ‘fridge) in half and put the coconut oil topping on each half and micowave for 30 seconds. OMG!

Notes:

- This recipe is made with nuts so would NOT be appropriate if you are sensitive to nuts (for whatever reason)

- I use expeller pressed coconut oil for these so it does not taste coconutty (I buy mine in 5 gallon tubs from Tropical Traditions)

- I’m going to work on a macroon variety using the coconutty oil and dried coconut flakes

Any ideas for quick breakfasts? Candida Diet Recipes

Eggs are always quick, but they get boring.

Remember that you don’t have to eat “breakfast food” for breakfast. I’ll often have left-overs for breakfast.

A protein shake made with 1 egg, 1T butter, 1T coconut oil, 3/4c boiling water, and a pinch of stevia. (Blend it in your blender and enjoy!)

I certainly appreciate the input, but that kind of eating would NEVER work for me. Right now while I’m pregnant, my blood sugar is not as easily controlled as I’d like it to be, and if I have even one serving of something that I don’t normally eat (like a bit of pineapple or some grapes, for instance), my fasting blood sugars are higher for about 24 hours.

Since I’m not only eating the way I do to try and deal with Candida but also to ward off diabetes, control my blood pressure, and deal with food addiction, I’ve learned that higher-sugar fruit, grain, starchy veggies and legumes just do NOT work for me.

There aren’t any nutrients in grain, legumes, and starchy veggies that I can’t get from other foods that work better for me. I feel a TINY bit differently about fruit, but I don’t NEED fruit to be healthy, and I certainly can’t tolerate much (if any) while trying to address the Candida issue. Heck, even too many cooked onions give me issues. *sigh*

I wish this wasn’t true for me. I wish I could eat whatever I wanted and be healthy. I wish I didn’t have to limit my diet the way I know I have to in order to get healthy. That’s a “head” issue that I still have to work on though — accepting the fact that I’m probably never going to be able to eat certain foods and stay healthy.
