Very nutty cake/brownie recipe

31 replies

RockCrushesLizard · 02/10/2023 18:46

I'm hoping someone good at cakes can help me come up with a very nutty cake recipe.

My DD has a couple of serious nut allergies, and her consultant says it's important to have the nuts she isn't allergic to in her diet regularly.
U is She's too young to eat whole nuts, and we need to get quite a lot into her: 25g each of eight different nuts.

I'm going to sprinkle on porridge, but I think a nutty cupcake/brownie will be the easiest way.

Most of the brownies etc I see have around 10g per portion - I'd love to be able to get it up closer to 50g, but don't know how to manage that and still have an edible end product!

Nuts:
Pistachio
Brazil
Macadamia
Pecan
Hazel
Almond
Sesame
Pine

They look delicious! Hope she likes them! Another idea if you want to go all out nut is to sandwich two cookies together with nut butter. The pistachio one that pp recommended is amazing if you have an Italian deli near you.

The biscuits look excellent!

Pesto is a good way to get a decent amount of pine nut into her, and you can also substitute macadamia. Tahini brownies for sesame!

We make chocolate nut cereal bars - porridge oats, Rice Krispies, chopped nuts and dried fruit bound together with melted chocolate, nut butter and honey. We use lots of different types of nuts in this.

They sound delicious. Do you have a specific recipe or just bung everything in together?

My DS also had nut allergies and we're advised to keep giving the other nuts he's not allergic to regularly.

We do this in a variety of ways including nut butter sandwiches, nut butters or ground nuts in smoothies, adding to any baking we do (today our brownies had peanut and almond butter) and giving almond yoghurt/milk.

You could also grind up the nuts and add to porridge but my son isn't a fan. We tried when he was little and ground up the 5 nuts we're meant to give him, then sprinkled a bit each day.

@determinedtomakethiswork Our allergist told us because of the CC risk we should only give other nut products when home and never when travelling.

I know some people buy the nuts in shell and use these to reduce risk but we don't.

Moving sideways, I make a salad

Cubed pumpkin dredged in middle eastern spice mix and roasted. Then mix with

Black olives
greek feta
Tin of beans, rinsed
Pine/walnuts/pecans (for best flavour but you can use others)
Lettuce
Vinaigrette

Either layer lettuce, pumpkin, beans, olives, feta, nuts with vinaigrette over
or
Fold all together gently

Tomato and cucumber may be added.
