Soft and Chewy Gluten Free Pumpkin Cookies

Image: Gluten Free Pumpkin Cookies

I must admit, this gluten free pumpkin cookies recipe took 10 different batches to perfect. Now they are perfect! If you desire a crisp bottom, chewy outside, and a soft chewy inside, you bake them for 11 – 12 minutes. The longer you bake them, the crisper the bottom becomes. For a cookie that is soft all over, you bake them for 10 minutes. Soft and chewy was a request of a couple of my Facebook followers. These are very lightly pumpkin flavored. Join me on Facebook or Twitter and request which gluten free recipes you’d like me create. Continue reading “Soft and Chewy Gluten Free Pumpkin Cookies”

Gluten-Free Sugar-Free Dairy-Free Chocolate Recipe

Sugar-free chocolate can be expensive, and if you have to find a safe gluten-free brand on top it, it can be even more difficult. With this gluten-free sugar-free chocolate recipe, you can make dark chocolate or chocolate ganache. If you are also on a dairy-free diet, you can still make both. For dairy-free ganache, instead of using heavy whipping cream, you use coconut milk. For the fat in this recipe, you have the option of using shortening (I use organic palm shortening) or coconut oil. Depending upon its use and your dietary needs will determine which ingredients you use. This recipe is low in carbs when not using cream. I hope you enjoy this recipe. It has many uses. You can even break it up to use as chocolate chips in your baked recipes.

Gluten Free Pear Crumble

You can make this gluten free pear crumble recipe much easier by using canned pears. However, fresh pears are full of vitamins and minerals. No matter what flour blend you use, it should out about the same because the recipe calls for very little flour. Note, though, tapioca browns easier, but is chewy, and cornstarch has high crisping qualities, and potato starch with just a little less. I have also provided some holiday garnish suggestions. This recipe can be made allergen-free if you skip the nuts. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pear Crumble”

They are not too sweet and have the perfect amount of peanut butter flavor. As a bonus, they are dairy-free. My recipe testers for my cookbook described them as “fantastic”.

Crispy Gluten Free Corn Tortillas Recipe Using Cornmeal

Most corn tortillas are made with masa harina which are treated with lime. Since I am allergic to lime (both citrus and the type used to treat masa), I created this gluten free corn tortilla recipe using cornmeal instead of masa harina. It works great for crispy tacos and tostadas. See the instructions for how to make them crispy. For a soft, corn tortilla using masa harina, see the Soft Gluten Free Corn Tortillas Recipe.
