Deviled Avocado Eggs

Gluten Free Deviled Avocado Eggs

You can use it to substitute some of all of the mayonnaise usually used in deviled egg recipes. If you’re an avocado lover, you have to try it! For something new and to kick things up a bit, cut the eggs so that they stand vertically instead of horizontally. Continue reading “Deviled Avocado Eggs”

Gluten Free Apple Bread Bake

Gluten Free Apple Bread Bakes - Individual or Baking Dish

As they say, there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Oh dear! That’s actually a horrible analogy, but what it means is that there is more than one way of doing something or achieving a goal. In this instant, the goal is to have gluten free apple bread. Well, rather than making homemade bread containing apples, here, I added bread cubes, apples, and other ingredients to form an apple bread bake. You can use homemade or store-bought gluten free bread. Just be sure to use one that is absorbent. Drizzle or drown it in additional pure maple syrup for a luscious brunch dessert.

Gluten Free Spaghetti Hot Dogs – A Healthier Version

Healthier Gluten Free Spaghetti Hotdogs
You have probably already seen similar photos of pieces of hot dogs threaded with strands of spaghetti. I’ve taken a step further to improve the nutritional content of spaghetti hot dogs. Instead of using spaghetti made from white starches such as wheat and rice, I used sweet potato soba noodles. Soba means “buckwheat” which is gluten free, despite it sounding like it is from the wheat family. Using healthy, gluten free hot dogs, your child has a great lunch. Just add some fruit and they’re good to go. Continue reading “Gluten Free Spaghetti Hot Dogs – A Healthier Version”

Gluten-Free Egg-Free Peanut Butter Cookies

Gluten-Free Egg-Free Peanut Butter Cookies with Filling

I am big on nut butter cookies. You can use peanut butter or almond butter, whichever you prefer. I have made Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies, Crunchy Peanut Butter and Coconut Cookies, Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies with OatmealChocolate Peanut Butter CookiesDairy-Free Peanut Butter Cookies Using Cookie Mix, and now, gluten free egg free peanut butter cookies with teff flour. They’re all wonderful and some are considered grain-free as teff and buckwheat are seeds, not grains. However, my all-time fave is Gluten Free Nutter Butter Cookies Recipe (Dairy-Free). Those are a bit more time-consuming than this new recipe. I enjoy this new one for its nutritional value, ease of preparation, and flavor.  I hope you enjoy them, as well. They’re dairy-free, egg-free, and gum-free, to name a few. They are also grain-free as teff is a seed, not a grain. Continue reading “Gluten-Free Egg-Free Peanut Butter Cookies”

Is Corned Beef Gluten Free? + Slow Cooker Recipe

Gluten Free Corned Beef, Cabbage, Carrots and Potatoes

Every year around this time, my mom used to make corned beef and cabbage. It wasn’t until recently that I realized it wasn’t named Corn Beef and Cabbage. I didn’t realize the beef was “corned”. The “ed” makes total sense. I’m not alone, though, and either are you if you didn’t know this. There are over 18,000 people each month that search for “gluten free corn beef” via Google.

Single Serve Gluten Free Brownies (Sugar-Free)

A small batch gluten free sugar free brownies recipe - perfect for two people; or just for one, if you' can't bring yourself to share them.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tablespoons cooking oil (I used light EVOO.), plus more for pan
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice (I used 2%)
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons hot water
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons beaten egg*
  • 1 Tablespoon buttermilk (I used 2%) (or additional milk)
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 Tablespoon xylitol (birch derived recommended)
  • 1/4 cup Copycat Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour Blend Recipe, plus more for dusting
  • 2 Tablespoons gluten-free unsweetened cocoa powder (or Rochelle Dutch processed cocoa)
  • 1/8 + 1/16 teaspoons gluten free baking powder (Rumford's)
  • Small pinch salt
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Oil and dust with flour a mini cake pan; and set aside. (I used a 4 1/2 round x 1 3/4-inch mini spring-form pan.)
  2. Whisk the first 7 ingredients (liquids and xylitol) in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour blend, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
  4. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and beat together until smooth.
  5. Fold in nuts, if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake on the center shelf for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Transfer to a wire rack. If using a spring-form pan, remove the ring. Allow the cake to cool for 10 - 15 minutes. Remove from pan or bottom pan and allow to cool completely. Slice into 4 pieces and serve.

Tips

Variations:

Add chocolate chips to the batter.

Add frosting or ganache to the top; or slice in half and make into a 2-layer cake.

Add half of the batter into the pan, add 1 tablespoon nut butter, then the remaining batter.

Add 1 tablespoon of nut butter to the top of the batter and swirl it in before baking.

*When doubling this recipe, use 1 large egg.
