Join the discussionwhat can i sub for almond meal? doesn’t have to be 100% paleo, just GF And nut free.
Sonja – I would just sub a GF all purpose flour of your choice.
Sonja, I’ve made this recipe for years and I use organic or gluten free rolled oats and the texture is wonderful 🙂
Could this be done in a crock pot? If so, what would I need to do to adapt it? Thanks so much!
Sarah – I am not sure if they would retain their mini meatloaf shape in the slow cooker and not become overly dry. If you do give it a shot let us know!
We might be a little old fashioned but we don’t have a microwave. What is the best way to reheat in the oven or stovetop?
I would heat these in the oven in that case and would do so for 10-15 minutes. I don’t know for sure though as we haven’t tested that method.
Quick cook Oats are great in meatloaf , if you dont have to be Paleo
