Gluten Free Vegan Granola Recipe

Vegan Gluten Free Granola

Nature’s Path sent me a couple of boxes of their new Qi’a Hot Oatmeal in Creamy Coconut flavor. I don’t usually enjoy coconut in my oatmeal; therefore, I had to find another use for it. I love coconut in granola and used it for that. I also usually use plenty of superfoods in my granola. This was so easy to make because Qi’a Hot Oatmeal already contains many of them. This was my first experiment making vegan granola, though, as many vegans do not consume honey. I enjoyed it and hope you do, as well. Continue reading “Gluten Free Vegan Granola Recipe”

Gluten Free Oatmeal Protein Shakes Recipes (Dairy Free)

Gluten Free Protein Shakes with Superfood

The other day, I needed a fast, healthy, light lunch. I waited too long to eat lunch and didn’t want to ruin my dinner. My first thought was protein shakes, but I didn’t have my go to fruit, banana. Being out of them, I reached for some frozen blueberries instead. But how was I going to get full on those? Well, I found a fulfilling source of protein, oatmeal. Oats are the highest protein gluten free grain. I used a packet of Nature’s Path new Qi’a Hot Oatmeal in the Creamy Coconut flavor. The coconut flavor was overpowered by the blueberries, but it still tasted wonderful and was the perfect low-cal, healthy choice. The added grains, seeds and fiber makes it more flavorful and healthier. Plus I love anything that has a bunch of ingredients in one package. Meanwhile, you can use bananas, strawberries or your favorite fruit. Enjoy and stay healthy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Oatmeal Protein Shakes Recipes (Dairy Free)”

Chewy Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Superfoods

Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Cookies

Nature’s Path just came out with three flavors of their new Qi’a™ Superfoods Hot Oatmeal. Flavors include Creamy Coconut, Superseeds & Grains and Cinnamon Pumpkin Seed. I love the Superseeds & Grains because it has a bit of crunch. It contains rolled oats instead of quick-cooking oats like so many brands. They asked me to create a recipe using my favorite flavor for their Pinterest Oatmeal Month (January) contest and here it is, a gluten free vegan oatmeal raisin cookies. They are so good that when I made them (just before dinner), I ate three and couldn’t eat my dinner. It was one of those nights…eat dessert for dinner and a small dinner for dessert. Mind you, I am not on a dairy-free or vegan diet, yet they still met my requirements for a chewy cookie. Enjoy!

Note: These are easy to make because the oatmeal packs contain six ingredients, with less to purchase and measure. Continue reading “Chewy Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Superfoods”

It is extremely delicious and easy to make. The caramel sauce is simply made with butter, brown sugar, and a couple of alcohols. Traditionally served over vanilla ice cream, enjoy this gluten free bananas foster over bread pudding, waffles, French toast, in crepes, and my favorite, wait for it…over cheesecake. You can also serve the caramelized bananas alone with just the sauce. To die for! If you do not light the alcohol or cook it off, you’ll feel as if you had a cocktail or two! – Just warning you.

Gluten Free Banana Liqueur

An incredible gluten free banana liqueur recipe that will knock your socks off because it is so easy to make and is so delicious!
Course Adult Beverage
Cuisine American
Ingredient Keyword banana, breadcrumbs, simple syrup
Prep Time 7 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 4 days 47 minutes
Servings 2 cups (16 fluid ounces)

Ingredients

For the Liqueur:

  • 2 small ripe bananas peeled, sliced and roughly chopped
  • 1-1/3 cups light rum
  • 1 cup simple syrup see below

For the Simple Syrup:

  • Simple Syrup Recipe See above link

Instructions

  1. Place the banana in a glass jar, add rum, screw the lid on tightly, and shake. Allow mixture to rest for 4 days, shaking about once a day. (Don't worry if you forget a day or two. Don't worry if it looks brown.)
  2. Any day prior to day 4, make the simple syrup and heat to about 205°F or until a light syrup forms, similar to the syrup in canned fruit. Refrigerate until chilled. (Make the entire recipe. It's great to have on hand for making cocktails ,creating moisture in other recipes, and basting cake layers to soften crust or edges.)
  3. Pour the chilled simple syrup into the banana mixture, cover, and shake to combine.
  4. On day 4 or 5 strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer. Discard the banana pieces.
  5. Line the strainer with 6 - 8 layers of cheesecloth. Strain the mixture again. (It will no longer be cloudy.) Store in the refrigerator 2 to 3 months. Shake before pouring. Use in a classic bananas foster recipe or serve as a dessert liqueur.

  6. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. While I do not advise it, I kept mine for as long as 2 years in the refrigerator and it was still delicious, though a little brown in color.

Tips

*Some makers of rum age it in barrels that were previously used to age whiskey. If you are extremely sensitive to gluten (cannot tolerate the allowed less than 20 parts per million), you should avoid such brands of rum. Check with each manufacturer.

I used overly ripe bananas and it still turned out very well. If your bananas are brown, the color of the liqueur may be a little darker/tanish yellow.

Video of Making Gluten Free Oat Bread in a Bread Machine

I was asked to create a gluten free recipe video for an upcoming women’s health summit; however, it was postponed. Here is the first half of the video showing you how I make my Gluten Free Oat Bread Recipe in a Bread Machine (using sugar or honey). I hope this helps you in your gluten free baking. I list the bread machine model on the recipe page. Meanwhile, stay tuned for my gluten free naan video tomorrow.

Note: To make this recipe dairy-free, just omit the non-fat dry milk. You can also substitute the water with rice milk. To make this recipe oat-free, substitute the oat flour with sorghum flour and use 2 additional tablespoons of oil.

I have provided an authentic recipe below, but feel free to use less oil to reduce calories. Continue reading “Gluten Free Beef Stir Fry with Broccoli (Lower-Fat Option)”
