In the first peanut study, 29 allergic children received either a placebo or small
doses of peanut flour for 12 months, after which the children were given small amounts of peanuts.
I've always been a
fan of peanut flour as a topping, for use in baking, or just to add some extra peanut flavor to my meals and snacks.
Your recipe sounds AWESOME, especially since you use actual peanut butter (so
sick of the peanut flour trend) and wholesome ingredients, as always.
Many children with peanut allergies who were fed small but escalating
amounts of peanut flour were eventually able to eat a significant quantity of peanuts with no reaction, a new study has found.
In a hospital setting, half of the children were given a tiny
dose of peanut flour — around 2 milligrams — in their food once a day.
I did think from the title, that they would be made with peanut butter (which I have)
instead of peanut flour (which I don't have).
I also added
2T of peanut flour to my dough to get the Play - Doh consistency mentioned in the recipe.
* You can do 3 Tablespoons of banana flour and 2
TB of peanut flour if you want extra goodness!
This highly - controlled study fed children small
amounts of peanut flour to the point that they were able to eat a handful of nuts without trouble.
Previous research into fighting allergies involved exposing people with peanut sensitivity to increasing
doses of peanut flour, but that approach is only effective as long as people keep dosing themselves.
I need to get
me some of this peanut flour I keep seeing in your recipes.
