Question
Melissa Lloyd
Most of my desserts are heavy and dense. My children would like to eat light, fluffy sweet cookies and cupcakes. Which unrefined gluten- free grains and sweeteners do you suggest I use. I would also appreciate resources for FOK desserts. ?
Answer
You're going to find that desserts made without any fat at all for the most part are going to be heavier and denser. That doesn't mean they're not going to be good. Many of you have heard me say this before I made rip esselstin's wedding cakes rip the esselstin family, Dr. Esselson prevent reverse heart disease rip the engine to diet. I certainly made he wanted specifically wanted the chocolate cake to live for But I wasn't going to make it with any fat or any oil because the esselstins. Are whole food plant-based no oil. The cake was really good, but it was more dense. And that is just the way it is. You can up the nutrition in your Desserts by using. Whole grain flours for example and sweeteners like coconut sugar. Maple syrup Now liquid and granulated sweeteners are not interchangeable we go into this in great detail in essential vegan desserts, but those are things you can do and then you're also asking about gluten-free grains. so I'm not really sure. If what you're asking is if what you're doing is you're looking for gluten-free desserts as well. Anyone here who is has is celiac or allergic or sensitive to gluten? Certainly, you're going to avoid gluten but people who think it's healthier and don't know that they have a problem with gluten. I just want to say that that's not necessarily the case. It's not necessarily healthier because a lot of the gluten free Goods that are in the marketplace are made with refined white starches and we don't want to go there. We don't want to go there. So Melissa look into the Forks Over Knives courses at Rouxbe or their online courses and you know, I don't want to ever disappoint anyone if you really can't get a light and fluffy cake. doing a no oil cake, but you can get a very very good one and there are a number of recipes in essential vegan desserts, which are naturally Gluten-free but made with wholesome ingredients like the Twill the Lacy cookie the lace cookie, which is actually an assignment and it's made with oats oats that's grounded to flour and some almond if I remember right rice syrup and maple syrup and a little bit of oil.
