Substitute for Amaranth or Quinoa Flour?

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know if other gluten free flours can be subbed for

amaranth or quinoa? I want to make the " Grain-Free Granola " recipe

from the files, but I would rather not use amaranth or quinoa flour

because they are both really expensive.

 

 

Here is the recipe:

 

Grain-Free Granola

 

 

1 1/2 cups amaranth flour (-OR- quinoa)

1 cup chopped nuts

1/2 cup tapioca flour

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

3/4 cup mashed banana -OR- pureed fruit (applesauce)

1/3 cup unrefined oil

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla

2/3 cup raisins -OR- other dried fruit

 

 

Mix the dry ingredients (except raisins or dried fruit) in a large

bowl until

mixed well.

 

Mix the wet ingredients in another bowl until mixed well.

 

Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry mixture and stir well until well-

coated. You may need to add a TB or more of water if too dry.

 

Spread mixture in a lightly oiled 9 x 13 " (23 x 33 cm) baking pan.

Bake at

300 F (150 C) for 45 - 60 minutes, stir every 15 minutes. Remove from

oven and

let cool. Stir in dried fruit.

 

 

NOTE: This is a very chunky granola and makes a good snack or cereal.

 

 

Makes 7 - 8 cups.
