I know these were made a year ago,but I just found your site & made these muffins.
They were tasty & quite moist.
Love your site there’s something different & interesting about it.

Bea, I just tried this recipe but replaced the amaranth & rice flour with regular flour and grated walnuts. Curious to see the result, it’s in the oven right now.

Thank you for the recipe and the atmosphere. I always enjoy any new “healthy-bites” recipe.

It is absolutely true – I can attest to it – the muffins (or pecan cakes) were delicious. Bea has brought “gluten-free food” to a new level!

Many thanks!

Je prends tout ce qui est sans gluten! Ça fait deux fois que j’entends parler de ces petites baies rouges qui, si on se fie à la publicité, font presque des miracles grâce à leurs propriétés antioxydantes. Mais elles ne sont pas trouvées…

Yes, I was thinking cranberries if I couldn’t find these goji berries.
That is a magical place at any time I would think.
You are right: if we follow the adage moderation and variety, I really need to bake with the different flours!

Hello everyone, a few answers. Like P. suggested, you can substitute these flours for all-purpose, but the taste of course will be different. I like to use these flours because they have more character in taste, and are also full of nutrients. Much better for you than plain all purpose flour.

Then of course, you can substitute goji berries with any other types of dried berries, like cranberries.

And thank you for the tip about using them in soup. I am curious about this, so if any of you has a recipe, I would love to give it a try.

Many thanks again, un grand merci pour vous commentaires, toujours si agréables à lire. Anaik, ahah, une autre planète ? Mais non, cela dit, ma planète, j’aime l’entourer de notre belle nature. Que veux-tu, je suis une fille de la campagne!
