I ordered Chef AJ’s book in advance. I am allergic to nuts. Have not been tested for all so I just avoid all. Wish she would have a suggestion for alternatives in her recipes that have no nuts at all.
Thank you for ordering and I do give suggestions as I do not eat nuts
Would this work to make those donuts she described? Use the almond poppy seed cake recipe but leave out almond flavoring and add donutty seasonings ( not sure what, anise/cinnamon/?). Fill silicone donut mold halfway. Make a mixture of peanut-only peanut butter and bananas. Put this on the batter in the molds, top with more batter. Bake at the temperature in the recipe for 15?20? Minutes, testing with a toothpick for doneness. While cooling, make fudge with almonds-only almond butter and melted dark chocolate to drizzle over cooled donuts. The almond poppy seed cake is on the Forks over Knives site. I think it’s a Darsha Thacker recipe
