Sugar free Almond Flour Cookies(Gluten, Grain & Egg free)

I make cookies only with Almond Flour nowadays for my family,  they are not alone gluten, grain free but also high in protein and very nutritious. But you will still see some cookies with whole wheat, oats etc in future posts which were all done in my earlier attempt few years back and which I still bake for people who are on a nut free diet.  In all my almond flour cookie recipes I use maple syrup as sweetener which is all natural and doesn’t cause cavities like sugar does.

So I tried using Stevia and Xylitol as the sweetening agent couple of times before I nailed down this recipe. Stevia definitely had an after...

Vegan Chocolate Banana Pancake(Gluten & Grain free)

If something is gluten free does it mean it is healthy? Nay, lot of gluten free mixes are made up of high starchy ingredients and the taste is also not that great. So far after trying lot of different gluten free mixes and with still half left in each one of them and unnecessarily occupying my pantry space, I have decided not to spend any more money on them. But the gluten free substitutions that really works for me is almond flour for cookies, cheese cake crusts, pancakes. But for bread and cakes I still haven’t nailed out a good recipe to share with but I am seriously trying to. One thing I found in this process is lot of these gluten free mixes have some bad tasting bean flour as one of the ingredient, but the split chick pea flour that...
