I used this mix for the first time. It was fluffy but it tastes very oily. I followed the instructions to a 'T". Has anyone tried using less oil?

I always use melted butter and it comes out great. Never actually used oil, because I can usually taste it in baked things.

I have made the bread using the mix exactly as recommended, but never found it oily. It is, to my taste, no different than the many regular bread recipes I have used over the years. My one big mistake has been to over-proof it, an unforgiveable gaff which ruins an otherwise good bread. All that said, I can't think of a reason not to try it with less oil.

I haven't tried using less oil, but neither my daughter or I have found the bread to be oily at all, so we are wondering what kind of oil you used. I always use canola oil. I also use a bread maker, so I don't have to grease a bread pan. That could also be a problem. One time I messed up a loaf by buttering the top like I always used to do with the wheat bread I used to make before going gluten free. Bad idea!

No, I have not but mine doesn't taste oily. Wondering what specific oil you are using. I use extra virgin oil. It does have a flavor to it that is different than regular white bread but not an oily flavor. Let us all know what you experience when reducing the oil. Curious.

The type of oil you use makes a huge difference in aroma, appearance & texture. I've used a few including coconut oil....hands down, grape seed oil produces the best loaf. I use the full eggs & a bread machine!!! Perfect every time!

I have not used a smaller amount of oil, but I think that the flavor is improved by using extra virgin olive oil instead of plain salad oil.

I never use oil in this mix- too many calories. Instead I substitute a little more than 1/3 cup of applesauce. The loaf doesn't taste like apples, and is moist and delicious. I also use two full eggs rather than the egg whites alone.

Hi, this oil really isn't an oil, it's watery. So I don't think it'll really mix with other oils. Maybe, I'm sorry I just don't know.

Mine was rancid upon delivery. In my option, it's a gamble as to how old the oil will be that you get. Assuming you get a fresh bottle, keep it in the fridge always. Go to the fridge to apply, then put it back in.

it turned out good. I just should have used a whole cup of hemp seeds. it was kinda watery but ill know next time. I also added the agave nectar about a tsp. and a drop or too od almond flavor. But I think if you were to purchase follow the directions of almond milk that what I did but should have used a cup full. hope this was helpful

Try mixing it with coconut oil if you want a buttery flavored spread. Actually, I prefer ghee for this purpose. It takes a very small amount of ghee to get a very buttery flavor. I usually just use this for cooking as it is less expensive than ghee. Fat is necessary in our diets. The old propaganda about how bad saturated fats were was based on false data. Scientific studies have found that the opposite is true - but all saturated fats are not the same. Animal based fats are more problematic for many people to digest. That's why some buttery flavor added to coconut oil works very well. Someone posted that it will never taste like real butter. It IS real butter that has been dehydrated. Most likely this person has never actually tasted "real" butter. The flavor varies according to what the cows were fed. The consistency is what is different after being dehydrated just like the consistency of any dehydrated product is not the same as it was originally even after re-hydrating it. The calorie content is the same because only the water has been removed.

I am just trying coconut oil for oil pulling (have the oil in my mouth for the first time right now!). I have read people having fabulous results...

Add a few drops of oil to two or three tablespoons of water. Strength of oil to your liking. I am more sensitive to strength soI use less oil. Enjoy!

I mix mine with 1℅ milk, which changes it. I have had thicker, but it isn't thin. Its similar to a gravy. If you mix yours with ter, it would be thinner...hope this helps!

I mix it with Jamaican black castor oil and I leave it in. The product has a very strong smell so I don't use alot.

I just simply added water, and I have done this several times. It works. I don't think you should add oil of any kind. I did that once... it was a mess... I had to throw the dough away after adding the oil.

I tried it in a flan (which is a custard). I thought it gave it a gritty texture. I wouldn't use it again. I have'nt tried it in anything else.

Apparently the formula was changed...it used to be a cream. Mixing won't help. It still does a god job, even in that state...Regards

I found it to be very "crispy", not at all oily. Did not look very natural, which was my goal. I have found Mixed Chicks and I like it a lot. It is a leave in conditioner, rather than a gel, and is softer than this. I have mid back length long, wavy hair and I like it a lot. I am not mixed, but it works well. Took me a good week to get the look right but it's easy now. Good luck.

I have never had a problem with "mixing" it, although I've only done it in a blender with fruits, and not just shaken it up manually. The taste is fine. Sorry but I did not read any of the reviews you refer to. Vanilla is an option if you're concerned about liking the unflavored one.

Hi. I wouldn't say this is "normal" but I just received a bottle from them, and I've experienced the same thing. The oil is pressed from seeds, so I guess it just wasn't filtered properly. I'm going to run it through a coffee filter. That should take care of the problem.

The instructions said to season with vegetable oil before the first baking. I used Pam and it came out fine. Subsequent times I used nothing and they popped right out. But the oil content in the food might make a difference too.

I agree totally. I believe the added fats and oils are to make it less dry. I have tried several biscuit recipes and all are dry and dense. I tried the "yeast roll" and it came out EXACTLY like a biscuit. So far all I tried tasted exactly the same....even the cheddar biscuits. Not happy with the product.
