[...] ate a carrot salad one day, and a rice salad another day. Since I had also prepared a batch of my chocolate and nut cookies, we enjoyed those as a simple snack, and always had apricots, cherries and roasted nuts to nibble [...]

Biscits, pate sablée, etc,sont parfait meme avec les farines gluten-free, la pate levée c’est un peu un problème…..j’éspère bien que ton intolerance termine bien tot, just le temps d’experimenter nouveau ingredients

Mindy,

I buy most of these flours at Whole Foods in the US. As for amaranth flour and quinoa flakes, I buy them on line. Mesquite flour is quite intriguing, and I am now curious!

I was wondering where to purchase these flours? Also, I once made choc. chip cookies w/part mesquite flour and they were out of this world.

Thank you for the reply!

I usually use smaller amounts of quinoa flour since I find its taste stronger and more dominent than other flours, especially in delicate cakes I baked.
I have to experiment with teff though.
I will look for things online. thanks!!

Many thanks again everyone for stopping by! Lonna, I am so pleased to have been given the two thumbs up by your grandson. That rocks!

Tal, it is really quinoa flakes. Mine are from Shiloh Farms, and I bought them online. As to the other two flours, instead you could try teff, or if this is hard to get, simply add more quinoa flour. The flour will be different of course. In case you are not after a Gluten free version, there are more options too. Good luck, and note that a lot of these flours are available online (I buy amaranth online too).

What a lovely recipe! I LOVE playing with these kind of flours. That’s why I love your blog that much.:)

I have two questions though:
* By saying ‘quinoa flakes’ do you mean PUFFED quinoa? because I only came across this version.
* Also, which two other flours would you recommend for this recipe instead of the millet and amaranth flours, which are more difficult for me to get? Do you think teff is suitable?

Thank you!

Bea,
You certainly have done it with these cookies. I immediately went to the kitchen and made them for me and my grandson. He was walking in the door when I was taking them out of the oven. He devoured them very quickly and gave them two thumbs up (his mouth was too full to speak). Thanks.

I agree that non wheat flours are very tasty. If you can tolerate oats and oat flour, add that to your cookies. It is really good and makes a chewy cookie. You just have to source it from a manufacturer that can guarantee that it is not contaminated by other flours and gluten.
