Do these freeze well?

Can i use almond flour as I do not have almond flour/meal?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Yes, almond flour/meal means you can use almond flour or almond meal. They are interchangeable in many recipes.
Daniela Bourloud says
Seems to be yummy! As I don’t have a microwave, can I heat it in a pan?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Yes, on a slow, gentle heat and keep an eye on it so it doesn’t stick and burn.
Denise says
Great idea! I will definitely be trying these out to accompany winter soups or boiled eggs! Just one note, I think Method #1 is missing the usual’ microwave for 1 minute’.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Whoops! Thank-you for pointing that out. I seem to write and re-wrtie my work all day and so sometimes miss the most obvious things!
Sunny Fetty says
Why do I need Psyllium husk in the almond flour bread? Do I use the flour, powder, whole?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
It swells and makes a gel to hold the crumb texture together, almost replacing what gluten would generally do. You may omit it if you like, but the texture may be a little crumblier. I use the powder, but if you use the whole husk, it will work, but just take a little longer to swell and gel.
Maria says
Where does it say in the recipe to add psyllium husk powder? How much? can I use xanthan gum instead? If so, how much?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
That reader was commenting on the wrong page. She was referring to the almond flour bread. This is the recipe.
