What to do with amaranth flour?

Hi guys,

I rarely bake, and was thinking I should do some because a: it's getting cold out, and b: I've got a bunch of random flour I should use up before it goes off.

Discovered in my cupboard: a full bag of AMARANTH flour?! What ever possessed me to buy amaranth flour?

So, what do you do with amaranth? I read it's better for savory things?

Also in my cupboard/fridge/freezer: buckwheat flour, brown rice flour, coconut flour, maybe oat flour (or can grind some into flour) ... that's about it right now.
Also, flax meal, tapioca starch, egg replacer, baking powder/soda, etc. I think I'm out of xanthan gum.

Any suggestions? I'm dairy/soy free too.
I want to get this stuff used up, and hopefully have something tasty to show for it.

Thanks!

Savory, never used it, how well does it thicken? Might be suitable for gravies, soups and sauces as  a thickening agent. I use coconut flour and oat flour like that also. I can think it would go great in my old broccoli and mushroom casserole or for use making a sauced topping of sauteed veggies, for toppings in dishes with thin sliced sauteed onions, bit of minced garlic with a tad bit of cooking wine and a bit of the flour for example.

Hmm, I have no idea. the bag is still sealed. I knew I had a weird flour hiding in the back of my cupboard. though it was going to be sorghum or something but SURPRISE!

I guess I'll have to start looking up recipes...

Yeah I have a random bag of sorghum and millet laying around....Thinking I might try making a pumpkin banana bread combo with each one and give them away tomorrow. Got them for baking but learned you can not sell anything made with sorghum at farmers markets around here as it is against health regulations. (odd rule) And the millet was a tad grainy but should work great with a bunch of pumpkin and banana in a vegan bread. As for amaranth, I have some amaranth grains, but I found they pop like mini popcorns in a skillet and use them for salad toppers.

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      By ShariW · Posted

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
