Sugar Free Gluten Free Pancakes – Almond Flax

On behalf of my paleo diet friends, I created this gluten free pancakes recipe which is grain free and sugar free. Of course, this doesn’t prevent anyone else from dowsing it with maple syrup. Another alternative, which is what I did, is to dust them with organic powdered sugar (evaporated cane juice). I get mine from Trader Joe’s. These are gluten free, sugar free, grain free, dairy free, corn free, and soy free. These are ideal for those looking for gluten free diabetic recipes, as well as paleo. Enjoy!

Gluten free Easter brunch: green eggs and soft boiled

Green Scrambled Eggs Surrounding a Soft Boiled Egg

Whether you’re having a large crowd or an intimate gathering for Easter or Passover brunch, or Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day served in bed, you can create a wonderful presentation by using this recipe for soft boiled or hard boiled eggs, placed mid green colored scrambled eggs, for your gluten free meal. However, for Passover, you may wish to serve boiled eggs as an appetizer. Whether hard boiled or soft boiled this presentation should be a big hit!

High Protein Gluten Free Crepes – Blintz – Cheese Rolls (Flourless)

I needed to create a cheese rolls recipe, often known as blintz, using tapioca flour starch for an eHow video and thought I would include dairy-free options. Though you may use cow’s milk for a creamier crepe, dairy-free milk or even water will work. I filled my crepe with chopped sauteed Swiss chard with garlic, a mixture of sauteed onion and red bell pepper, topped with a little Gluten Free Bechamel Sauce. Though these are high in egg, they do not taste eggy. Fill with anything sweet or savory. A crepe filled with cottage cheese is known in the Jewish community as a blintz. Others fill them with cheese and roll them up like a burrito around all sides and bake until warm. Usually, they are then topped with a fruit sauce. Gluten free crepes are like an empty canvas. Create away! Continue reading “High Protein Gluten Free Crepes – Blintz – Cheese Rolls (Flourless)”

Gluten Free Bagels

This gluten free bagels recipe turned out very light – delish! – closer to a bread, but may be made heavier by using 1 less egg white. I created a Whole Grain Gluten Free Bagels recipe a few months ago, but needed to perfect a bagel recipe for an upcoming video I am doing for eHow.com. (They’ve invited me to be gluten free recipe talent for them!) I decided to use flour and starches that were readily available to all and that were inexpensive. Future versions may contain different flours. Though not perfected yet, in the sense of smoothness on the outside, they turned out light, which was what I was going for. Newer bagel recipes contain holes, which you never used to see before. I think I’ll try rolling out the dough next time which should create a smoother finish. Meanwhile, enjoy these gluten free bagels. I enjoyed mine toasted. Yum! Continue reading “Gluten Free Bagels”

Gluten Free Bran Muffins

This gluten free bran muffins recipe originated from the glutenous breakfast bran muffins served at the historic Awahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park, straight from the chef, years ago. I live just 25 miles from Yosemite and am familiar with their decadent brunch buffets. Who knows if they are serving the same recipe now. I have converted it to a gluten free bran muffins recipe with the use of rice bran. They turned out very light! Therefore, don’t hesitate to replace a bit of the flour blend with a more nutritious, heavier flour, such as millet, amaranth, etc. Being that I halved the original recipe, I should have added 1 1/2 eggs, but accidentally poured in 1 3/4. I suggest 1 1/2 for a heavier muffin. As I stated, these are very light. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Apple Coffee Cake

First off, this gluten free apple coffee cake is heavenly, with or without the glaze! I recently created a gluten free coffee cake where you can add a jam, pie filling or cinnamon swirl. However, when I made the gluten free apple coffee cake this morning, I noticed it needed a bit more time to bake, as the pie filling is more moist than a thin layer of jam. Therefore, I wanted to ensure you had this information. Enjoy. We did! My hubby is awaiting a cherry one next. Stay tuned! Continue reading “Gluten Free Apple Coffee Cake”

Chestnut Cinnamon Gluten Free Pancakes (Dairy Free and Egg Free)

I needed to create a recipe to use up some aging flours. I thought, “Why not a gluten free pancake recipe?” There must be thousands of variation of pancakes, but I chose one I thought was unique, in that it did not contain any eggs or gum. That did not work out very well, therefore I adapted it. The recipe originated from one of Nutsonline’s Gluten Free Pancakes recipes. They were delish and I feel that they are a bit more healthy than a typical recipe. These were delish, and are dairy-free and egg-free! Enjoy!

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Muffins

These gluten free sweet potato muffins have the weight and texture of a quick bread, such as banana bread, but perhaps a little lighter. They are very moist, and more importantly, packed with nutritious ingredients which I wouldn’t mind giving my grandchildren. And being that I used xylitol instead of sugar, I look forward to using them as a healthy snack for myself more often. These gluten free sweet potato muffins would make an excellent substitution for cornbread this Thanksgiving, as well. And they are a great way to use left over sweet potatoes! That was my reason for creating this recipe. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Sweet Potato Muffins”

Gluten Free Cornbread for Stuffing or Dessert

Last year I had a request for a good gluten free cornbread stuffing recipe, but I hadn’t created a gluten free cornbread recipe, and never got around to it. So, this year, it is my top priority. Once you have a good gluten free cornbread recipe you can make any stuffing recipe you choose using that gluten free cornbread. Preferably it should be a soft, absorbable one. This recipe is more of a cake-style cornbread recipe, however, you can adjust it to create a more traditional gluten free cornbread for stuffing.

I love the dessert version. I think my hubby’s favorite foods are stuffing and cornbread, and he was in heaven with this gluten free corn bread recipe this morning, and he’s not 100% gluten free! With the adjustments above, hubby says it tastes just like cornbread. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Cornbread for Stuffing or Dessert”
