Has anyone made anything using amaranth or amaranth flour? I got some to experiment with since it is supposed to be gluten free...

My reading says that it has no gluten in it so it won't rise if used 100%. But it works for muffins, pancakes etc...

My dd uses it. I'll ask her what kind of results she's had. |

I grow amaranth every year and use it in my breads, rolls and cookies to enhance the nutritional value. I still use white and whole wheat flours with the amaranth. I don't know if the bread would rise properly if I used straight amaranth. If you find out different, I'd like to know. A friend of mine uses amaranth flour to thicken gravies.
