Add a commentOk but didn't blow me away. I
Ok but didn't blow me away. I also noticed suggestion of serving with butter- not very paleo I would have thought. Worth a try though
Success! Although after
Success! Although after reading about others difficulties on the forum with beating the egg whites in the Thermomix I chose to do that part with my old mixer. The texture was lovely so much so that hubby has asked could I possibly adapt to make him a carrot cake.
I just used flour and water for the cross but of course with a small lump in the mixture the zip lock bag burst and coated 2 of them totally!! :O Nevertheless very enjoyable!
Thank You.
Did anyone use the butterfly
Did anyone use the butterfly for whipping the egg whites? I notice the only accessory needed is the spatula but the EDC says use the butterfly.
I made the 25gm of coconut
I made the 25gm of coconut flour in the Thermomix using decisccated coconut. Easy and MUCH cheaper than purchasing from the health food shop.
I also used grapeseed oil instead of macadamia as that's what I had on hand.

I have printed this one out
I have printed this one out and will try once I have purchased the ingredients. Sounds like they are a success. Will let you know I do try to avoid wheat and after having 2 hot cross buns at work on Thursday I am feeling bloated and pained.

It can get quite confusing as
It can get quite confusing as there are lots of people fon the internet creating their own versions of paleo. If you check Marks Daily Apple you will get a good run down on that page. (He is the guy who wrote 'The Primal Blueprint) I have been following a paleo diet for about 5 months now, the other thing that a true paleo diet doesn't use is seeds ie chia, sesame seeds etc. Essentially it is based on protein (meat/fish/eggs/good nuts), good fats, lots of vegetables and some fruit. Minimal if any caffeine. No dairy, no grains or sugars, no alcohol (I fail in that area from time to time!) no legumes, no seeds.
I only have a superficial
I only have a superficial knowledge of paleo, as my interest is gluten free, although I thought it was peanuts that were the legume, as they are a ground-nut, whereas cashews are the seed of a cashew apple and so essentially a tree nut? Mixalicious has certainly piqued my interest on this one, so I just had to stem my own curiosity! I found a few opinions, for and against cashews being paleo ...

I guess the jury's out on this one???
This recipe looks delicious
This recipe looks delicious but I think it is important to note that cashew nuts are definitely NOT paleo - they are a legume, and paleo diets do not use grains, sugars, dairy or legumes.
