Here's our experimentation. We also can't do nuts so I ground a variety of seeds. You can taste them, but with the honey it has more of a honey nut butter twist. These are pretty gooey in the middle. Could cut back on water. We can't do milk so I mix goat milk whey with water to release the phytic acid in the barley during the soaking process. Hope you enjoy!

Pumpkin Muffins
1 Cup freshly milled Barley Flour (although any flour would work)
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 C water with whey to equal ¼ c

Dry ingredients:
1 Cup pumpkin, sunflower, and flax seed meal
2 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon
¾ t ginger
¼ t cloves
1/2 t salt
2 T coconut flour
1/4 Sucanat

Wet ingredients:
1 t fresh ginger grated in, (opt)
¼ c coconut oil
½ c honey
1 15 oz canned pure organic pumpkin
2 large eggs
1 t vanilla
raisins and chocolate chips optional

soak the barley in the water, whey, and butter overnight. combine dry and wet separately. Add wet to flour mixture while mixing and making sure to break up any flour chunks. gradually mix in dry ingredients and raisins or chocolate chips. If the batter looks too creamy, add more coconut flour. Bake between 400 and 425 degrees 20-23 minutes.

Hi Healthy homemaker, the almond meal was a substitution for flour in the original recipe. I would sub it out of oat flour, although any flour would work.

These sound delish -- I want to make them today! My son cannot have nuts - can anyone tell me how to substitute the almond meal. Normally I'd just delete the recipe and move on, but I'd like to start trying to sub things like that instead of "skipping it". Thanks!!
