Kind of random-seeming question:
For a very long time, I have been using soy flour as an additive when making baked goods. It's usually possible to replace up to 1/4 of the flour in any given recipe with soy flour without affecting the texture or flavor in noticeable ways, but I do notice that the soy flour makes me feel noticeably more full/satisfied and increases the time before I get hungry again.
However, our local grocery co-op has been completely out of soy flour for the last month, and there are multiple other reasons to reduce soy intake (Big Ag, estrogenic, etc).
So: have any of you ever tried some of these alternatives, and thus know anything about pros/cons? Also, do you have any other ideas for protein enhancement of baked goods?
-Garbanzo/fava flour blend (straight-up garbanzo has a strong flavor and is gassy so I am slightly afraid of this blend but IDK maybe it's fine?)
-Water chestnut
-Amaranth
-???? others????
