Cro, thanks for your comment. I'm looking at some other cupcake recipes to get around the spelt, but that's further on down my list. :)<br /><br />As far as replacing the flaxseed, you can't replace those with sesane seeds or almonds because flaxseed is replacing the egg as a binder. You could try another vegan binding choice such as applesauce, bananas, prunes or Ener-G egg replacer. Depends a lot on the quantity you're going to replace and the water content. <br /><br />Hope that helps! <br /><br />The FAQFood Allergy Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05236187889617826475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9654153.post-68953103201185952492009-05-08T07:52:00.000-07:002009-05-08T07:52:00.000-07:00Hi!<br />I read your comment on the BabycakesNYC blog about the new cook book... I too am bummed about recipes containing spelt, esp. for the Red Velvet cupcakes and all the biscuits.<br />Please let me know if you happen to come up with an alternatives while baking, I'd love to hear about it.<br />I am self diagnosed with my food allergies, but I just know in my gut, literally and figuratively, that I cannot eat wheat and gluten. Spelt just won't do...<br /><br />Also, do you think it's possible to use sesame seeds or almond meal in place of the flax?<br /><br />You might want to look at Karina Allrich's site glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/ for some other references. <br /><br />Thanks!!<br />J.Cro<br /><br />PS - I'm going to add you to my blog list.

Thai Nakorn...yummmmy. I feel like eating your fake pho now. Or maybe the pancakes. Or both. (If people could see the size of your kitchen and the great food that comes out of it they'd be amazed).Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06839766500103376732noreply@blogger.com
