I am on SCD for Crohns Disease, so I thought I'd post for those who use the diet. As you may know it does wonders for Autism and Crohns. I feel great when I'm on it with no symptoms. Over the years I've learned what I can eat in restaurants, etc, but the diet is quite restrictive. Previously, when we've been to WDw I've gone to Publix for my sugar free bacon, eggs, fresh produce etc. to augment my diet. I cook these things in the microwave in the food court. We are going in January for 3 1/2 weeks and eating just a few thing day in and day out will really be tiresome. So, yesterday, I decided to try to bake some of my goodies in the microwave. I modified some recipes to see how they would turn out with limited ingredients, or ingredients that could be easilly obtained when I was down there. I figured I could bring some silicone muffin cups, a silicone bundt pan, and some almond flour with me, and just buy a pound of butter, bananas, honey or what ever I needed to expand my diet. Heres what I discovered.
Coconut cake
2 eggs,
1/3 cup of honey
1 cup water
2 Tbs butter
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup unsweetened coconut
Mix it all together in a margerine tub or whatever you have,
pour into silicone bundt pan
microwave for about 9 minutes depending on the microwave.
I plan on premeasuring the dry ingredients, and packing those, and then adding the butter eggs and honey and water when I bake it.
It turned out not bad, and will be a nice addition to my diet when I'm there.
Banana Muffins
3 cups almond flour
1/2 cup honey
3 eggs
2 mashed bananas
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Mix together
put in silicone muffin cups placed on a dish in a circle.
I put 8 cups in an O on a plate and microwaved for 6 or 7 minutes.
I did this 2 times since the recipe made 16 muffins.
The mixture bubbled over a little, and of course the muffins didn't brown or look like they had been baked, but they tasted pretty good. Don't overcook, or the muffin will be too well done inside.
I must add, the chefs at WDW have been very good. I carry cards which briefly explain what I cannot eat, and some ideas of what I can eat. However, they are not going to create any grain free treats or bread for me, so this is why I will be trying to expand my diet when down there.
If anyone has any ideas or SCD recipes that can be cooked in a microwave in the food court please let us know.
