Is Fondant Gluten Free? Plus a Fondant Recipe

Homemade Gluten Free Fondant

Discover the answer to the question, “Is Fondant Gluten Free?”

Not all fondant brands are gluten free. If you are intolerant to gluten, you may wish to go one step further and find out if the manufacture processes gluten-containing products on the same equipment. One way to be sure your fondant is gluten free is to make your own.

Simply using gluten free marshmallows and confectioners’ sugar, you can make homemade gluten free fondant. Add a little water and food coloring and you’re all set to decorate. You can mold this fondant into any creation you can think up. Get ready, set, start! Continue reading “Is Fondant Gluten Free? Plus a Fondant Recipe”

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 Hummingbird Cake Recipe and Smooth Cream Cheese Frosting

Gluten Free Hummingbird Cake

Have you ever heard of a hummingbird cake before? Well, it’s making a comeback! It’s a very old classic that was “boss” (very cool, terrific) back in the day. In 1968, the Jamaican tourist board began sending out press releases to the United States including a couple of their local recipes, one of which was the Doctor Bird Cake, later changed to a number of different names in America including “the cake that doesn’t last” and “hummingbird cake” (The Doctor Bird was an actual bird much like the hummingbird.)

Chocolate Gluten Free Sugar Free Zucchini Bread

Chocolate Gluten Free Sugar Free Zucchini Cake

I’ve been planning to make this recipe with granulated sugar, but I got to thinking. I wondered if NuStevia Cocoa Syrup would make a good sugar-free version. It couldn’t have turned out better! In the tips section, I have added suggestions if you wish to make it with granulated sugar. No matter how you make it, I hope you enjoy it. It’s not bitter like so many other stevia sweetened recipes. Trying it in this chocolate gluten free sugar free zucchini bread was just smart, if I do say so myself.

Gluten Free Almond Cranberry Bars

Gluten Free Almond Cranberry Bars

Try this recipe for addictive almond cranberry bars. They’re a true delight. I would choose these bars over cake or other sugary sweets. They are definitely a less guilty pleasure. They’re heavy, similar to chewy brownies, perhaps a bit more heavier. Yet they are chewy. They satisfy your sweet tooth for dessert, as well. They’re just addicting! I blew my diet this week by having two – well worth it! Continue reading “Gluten Free Almond Cranberry Bars”

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 Oatmeal, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies, Dairy-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”
