Feel free to substitute buttermilk with the recipe for homemade or dairy-free buttermilk by reading the tips section. Continue reading “Gluten Free Johnny Cakes – Johnnycakes – Jonnycakes – Hoecakes”
Though I am allergic to pumpkin, whenever I get the craving for it, I create a new recipe and have my husband taste-test it. I have never had pumpkin cornbread before, but it sounded so good.

Sometimes there is confusion between crumbles, crisps and cobblers. They all contain a fruit filling topped with various ingredients. A crumble and a crisp have a crunchy topping. A crisp contains oats, where a crumble does not. A cobbler is topped with dough, much like biscuit dough. If you’re not paleo, you can add some certified gluten free oats and you’ll have yourself a gluten free peach crisp. Enjoy this gluten free paleo peach crumble!
