Regarding a substitute for the coconut...Hi Joanne,<br /><br />Regarding a substitute for the coconut flour. If you want, you can use the plain unflavored whey protein powder which should be as close as you can get to the texture of coconut flour. I wouldn't buy a big canister of it until you've tried it though. Here we can buy a small envelope (like enough to put in a protein drink) and see if you can buy that small amount to try because most of it is not inexpensive either. <br /><br />Thanks for the recipe and info you passed along as well. Yes, I believe you did tell me about Janet Jacks before. I will check out the link. Also, thanks for the kind remarks about my Mom. It is still hard to believe she is gone some days. And there are those times when your first gut instinct is to pick up the phone to tell her something only to have to remind yourself you can't. I hope you find a small amount of coconut flour to try and see if you agree it can't be tasted in this recipe. I am weird about using coconut flour for savory items as well but find I can tolerate it when used in the background in small quantities when blended with other ingredients. Let me know if you try them. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316245779890747698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-84929244900889147242016-05-30T01:00:43.447-04:002016-05-30T01:00:43.447-04:00SO sorry, I just saw that you said you cannot tast...SO sorry, I just saw that you said you cannot taste the coconut, so perhaps I just need to try these as the recipe is...<br /><br />Thanks so much, I'll pick up a small amount to use in this recipe when I go to my favorite health food store on Tuesday.<br /><br />By the way, I think I sent you a link to this store's site, some great recipes on there, and I'm following their nutritional program, and Dr. William Davis has written a section of this book (Discover The Power Of Food by Janet Jacks--as far as I know it's only available in Canada, if you ever want it, contact me and I'll help you get it. I could mail it to you in the US...when I go across at some point, no trouble) and he has done some lecture events with Janet Jacks. The store is called Goodness Me, and Janet Jacks has a weekly radio show available online live at 8 am to 9 am EST on Saturdays, the link is on the Goodness Me site.

Remove and add all the seasonings. Stir well. Throw in the nuts and stir to combine. Bake for approx. 45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes to coat nuts. Let cool completely.

I've heard that coconut flour is very drying and uses up liquid, so using something else I'm afraid will mess up these rolls, and the ingredients are expensive to waste.<br /><br />I'm just starting to get into this lifestyle after being away from it, and I know your recipes can make it possible for me to really enjoy food while eating this way, I am so grateful to you!!!!<br /><br />I know I need some good bread-type recipes to keep me going!!! I don't mind using coconut oil or coconut milk, but no flaked coconut or coconut flour because of the intense coconut taste. HELP!!!<br /><br />Thanks for your input. I know in the past you have suggested trying some protein powder that is without flavoring.<br /><br />I was so sad when I heard about your Mom's passing, I went through a tough time when my Dad passed away 14 years ago. Know I'm sorry and I care.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Joanne905lovestostamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360003996742794251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-85378046831065529932016-03-25T14:11:02.715-04:002016-03-25T14:11:02.715-04:00Hi there,

I've copied how she said she does it here: "I love, love, love this bread! This time, just to do something a little different, I decided to try an idea that I'd seen in the comments section of your original recipe. I spread the dough out in a greased 7x11-inch rectangular baking dish. After 22 minutes it came out of the oven perfectly baked. I let it cool down in the pan for 15-20 minutes, cut it into 6 pieces, and then split the pieces in two just like you do with the buns. It worked great and had the same wonderful flavor and texture of the original."<br /><br />Hope that helps!

I actually have a Chicken Enchilada Casserole that uses them that you might like, too. <br /><br />One of the easiest breads of mine to try first might be my Sesame Seed Sandwich Buns because they are also quite versatile (sandwiches, burgers, etc.) and the consistency is the closest to real bread I have found in the 3 years I've been grain free. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-58318148683946659532015-04-05T21:35:55.517-04:002015-04-05T21:35:55.517-04:00Hi GGC, I am looking forward to trying your bread...Hi GGC, I am looking forward to trying your bread recipes.

I've even shaped them similar to sub buns, hot dog buns, etc. I can't tell you how nice it is to have a real sandwich between 2 pieces of bread when you are in the mood! Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed them. :-)<br />Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316245779890747698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-69415832875703846242015-03-12T12:57:40.099-04:002015-03-12T12:57:40.099-04:00OMG, I'm in heaven!

I used the muffin top pan I purchased specifically for this recipe and it made 7 buns. So I guess I can count slightly less than the 4.5 - 5 carbs you listed. I can't wait to try some of your other bread recipes, but this one is definitely a repeater in this household. THANKS!

They are truly one of my favorite! <br /><br />Funny you mentioned making it in a loaf pan...because I actually have a bread recipe (loaf) that was modeled after this batter/dough. It's called my "Awesome Grain Free Bread" and is actually one of the more popular bread recipes on my site. Here's the link to it: http://www.gourmetgirlcooks.com/2014/06/awesome-grain-free-bread-low-carb-wheat.html<br /><br />I also have a version made with chia instead of flax for those that don't care for the flax. Don't you love it when you take a recipe and make other recipes with it? <br /><br />In case you are interested, here's a "Fauxnana Walnut Skillet Bread" recipe I have, too. Very similar to what you are talking about. http://www.gourmetgirlcooks.com/2014/05/skillet-faux-nana-banana-walnut-bread.html<br /><br />Glad you are enjoying the recipes and experimenting with them! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-10506035473092923122015-02-06T21:07:20.170-05:002015-02-06T21:07:20.170-05:00Hi GGC!

They are delish without, and I am sure with, as well!<br /><br />3 of the 4 recipes worth I made last night: one batch for sis, one for a co-worker, and one for me!<br /><br />After sis tasted one from Batch #1, she asked if she could have another, and then took two (instead of one more)! I made them in the smaller muffin top pan, so got 12 from the recipe instead of the yield of 6 larger buns. She was interested in having some on hand so I said I'd make her a batch to have at home. (She is quite impressed with your success with Wheat Belly.)<br /><br />Did you know you can bake this batter in a loaf pan and it works fine? It is dense, of course, but the slices remind me of the texture of banana bread. Maybe not wheat banana bread, I can't even tell you the last time I had any of that, but something about it brought that memory. Tonight I spread a slice with some butter that I'd mixed banana flavor drops and Confectioner's Swerve into, and that really made it seem like banana bread!<br /><br />I don't know if two slices of this would work well for a sandwich, but it sure works well to just slice and eat! <br /><br />Thank you for this fabulous recipe!<br /><br />Yum yum!!!<br /><br />Alice<br /><br />Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071353485775352700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-55083482089188176742015-01-20T00:07:21.944-05:002015-01-20T00:07:21.944-05:00Hi Michele,
