I am aware that many individuals on a gluten free diet are watching their intake of starch. In addition, some individuals have trouble with gums. This gluten free cake recipe is free of all starch (potato, tapioca, arrowroot, and cornstarch) and gums (xanthan, guar, etc). It is also free of leaveners such as baking soda and baking powder. Obviously, the cake still calls for sugar, which is still high in carbohydrates, but you save a ton of carbs and have added protein from the eggs in this gluten free cake recipe. It is light due to the whipped egg whites that are folded in towards the end. I’m not keen on using rice flour in cakes because it is usually gritty, unless it is a superfine rice flour. For those who still use it, enjoy! Continue reading “Starch-Free Gum-Free Leavener-Free Gluten Free Cake Recipe”

This gluten free brownies recipe contains marshmallows and walnuts like any rocky road dessert. The marshmallows melt into the batter while it bakes, creating a lighter, almost cake-like texture, but chewier. Once in awhile you’ll get a taste of the marshmallows, which is the characteristic my husband most enjoyed. For a heavier brownie, just cut the baking soda in half.

Gourmet Fresh Gluten Free Peach Crisp
This gluten free peach crisp is awesome! It calls for plenty of butter in order to make the topping nice and crispy. If you are wondering what the difference between a cobbler and a crisp is, a cobbler is made with a dough batter, similar to biscuit dough. A crisp is usually made with flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. A crisp has a crumbly topping. Cobbler got its name because the biscuit dough is usually dropped in pieces, creating a cobblestone affect. Meanwhile, enjoy this gluten free peach crisp. Be creative and add your favorite ingredients – perhaps a bit of fresh ginger to bring on a little heat. Continue reading “Gourmet Fresh Gluten Free Peach Crisp”
Wine and Cheese Gluten Free Cracker Recipe
I am honored to present this gluten free cracker recipe that I developed for WholeVine. They offer grapeskin and grapeseed flour made from wine grape remnants as well as gluten free cookies.

However, they offer several other varieties, including grapeseed flour. Just be sure not to use grapeseed flour in this recipe as additional liquid ingredient would be required. Meanwhile, cut your favorite cheese, pour a glass of wine, and enjoy! Continue reading “Wine and Cheese Gluten Free Cracker Recipe”
