    Recipe Introduction


    Flour substitute:



    1 cup finely ground nuts-pecan, walnut or macadamias

    1 cup protein isolate derived from whey, egg whites, or soy
    (powdered protein drink mix)

    1 tablespoon Gluten

    Mix together well, use as substitute for 2 cups flour in
    baked foods.



    Sugar substitute:



    2 cups sugar is equivalent to 2 cups bulk style Splenda

    Or 65 packets of Splenda

    Or 2 cups sugar twin or brown sugar twin

    Unknown amount of saccharine-perhaps 20 envelopes of sweet n
    low (I think that is the one made from saccharine)

    Unknown amount of Stevia-perhaps someone can guide us for
    that one.

    Do not use aspartame in recipes that have to be heated.
