Evie1010's Journal, 04 April 2011

This morning my husband said the flax muffin (standard MIM recipe) I made him last night tasted "like flavored packing paper." :/ Oh, well, gotta love him...and his fiber-less silly self. :)

Oh I love them with cream cheese on! You have to use golden flax not the other one!

@stef, LOL

I agree Stef. They are a bit boring and hard to actually get down. I usually have to swig my coffee to moisten up the last half or its a no go. I have tried cocoa, pumpkin, plain, cinnamon and I thing every combination I could think of. Still too bland and cardboardish. And the cream cheese only made mine worse.

I put a tablespoon of whipped cream cheese in before cooking and they seem to stay moist after that.

I also use coconut oil instead of butter and mine are always moist!

I just don't like the taste the taste of the flax and the baking powder...I can always taste the baking powder, even in homemade biscuits. That is why I loved Bisquik so much! lol

Stef I do half flax and half almond flour!  
04 Apr 11 by member: Mccmad
yeah, the almond flour gives it a nice cakey consistency...but it's not induction-friendly (for new ppl reading this)

Very true Evie! Lol

Hmm, does anyone know the difference between almond flour and soy flour? Im being lazy and dont feel up to looking it up. 
04 Apr 11 by member: kmartin
Oy, I didn't even know there was either of those. The only other flour I ahve used is wheat. Sorry I'm useless on that one.

Uh...one is made out crushed almond...and the other is made out of soy. What else do ya need to know? LOL :D 
04 Apr 11 by member: Evie1010
Keli, no, no on the soy flour...it tastes...um, green, kind of grassy to me! The almond may be better, but then so is the coconut flour, which is what I have been using for frying....maybe I should try the coconut flour for the MIM.

Alright, the almond is 3 NC for 1/4 cup and soy is 4 NC for 1/4 cup. Stef, I have used the soy flour in my carrot nut muffins and they come out really good. I haven't thought to try almond yet.

I think coconut flour would be good! 
04 Apr 11 by member: Mccmad
Coconut flour? Geesh, never heard of that one.

Thinking of having a rhubarb one tomorrow with a blob of thick cream on top now! Lol
