A gluten free pumpkin pie recipe with a traditional filling. The use of both granulated sugar and brown sugar create a caramelized flavor that is hard to resist. Top it with homemade whipped cream or a gluten free ready-made brand such as Cabot. For a dairy-free topping, try the crunchy praline topping. The crust tastes amazing, as well, and is fairly easy to handle and roll. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie Recipe”

Tips
*If you have hot chili oil, use 1/2 teaspoon of it to replace the sesame oil and omit the red pepper flakes. Chili oil is what I use, but not everyone can find it.
You can add any vegetables you desire: snow peas, yellow onion, green or red bell pepper, or even water chestnuts.

Vegan Pumpkin Ice Cream
This is more of a sherbet than a vegan pumpkin ice cream, but is still extremely delicious for a diary free version. Since its development, I have discovered that adding one teaspoon of xanthan gum added to ice cream creates a more chewy texture. In this recipe you would need to mix about 1/2 teaspoon of gum with the oil. Note, that this is not a new recipe, but the original, published in 2010, seems to have vanished from this site. Enjoy!

Classic Gluten Free Waffle Recipe
You may be wondering the difference between a waffle and a pancake batter. A gluten free waffle recipe often calls for whole eggs. In this recipe, I have made them the traditional way, separating the egg yolks and whites. The whites are whipped until stiff and then folded into the batter at the end. This lends an airier texture to waffles versus an almost cake-like pancake texture. The other difference between waffles and pancakes is the fat content. Waffles contain more fat (oil or butter) which makes them crisper. Continue reading “Classic Gluten Free Waffle Recipe”
