Gluten Free Banana Oat Muffins

Gluten Free Banana Oat Muffins

I love banana nut ice cream and banana pancakes, and wanted to create a recipe for gluten free banana muffins that was a little healthier than the usual muffin recipe. I decided to use gluten free oat flour, as oats are nutritious. One third of a cup usually contains 7 grams of protein and 4 grams of dietary fiber. If you are gluten intolerant you’ll need to purchase a gluten free oat flour, as others will contain high amounts of gluten cross-contamination. If you are oat intolerant, Montana Gluten Free carries PrOatina, which some gluten intolerant individuals who are also sensitive to gluten free oats, may tolerate well. Meanwhile, these muffins turned out yummy; not too sweet, either. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Banana Oat Muffins”

Soft Whole Grain Gluten Free Wraps – Tortillas Recipe

Soft Gluten Free Wholegrain Tortillas using Expandex

La Tortilla Factory makes a Gluten-Free, Ivory Teff Wrap. I have been wanting to go to Whole Foods to pick some up, but just haven’t had the time with all of my other errands while I’m in town. So, my cravings got the best of me, and I created a recipe of my own. They turned out fantastic! And they don’t taste anything like a whole grain gluten free wrap or tortilla. The best thing about them is that you can roll them like a regular tortilla. They may be even softer than the glutenous one. Just perfect, to me!

Baked Chicken Florentine (Gluten Free)

Baked Chicken Florentine

Are you tired of the same old way you make chicken? Try stuffing your chicken and bake it with this chicken florentine recipe. It’s so easy! – and bakes in about 30-45 minutes, depending upon the size of the chicken breasts. I love this dish, as I serve it without any starches (rice or potatoes), just a salad, and we still cannot finish an entire breast. Great for low-carb and grain-free dieters! Baked chicken florentine is now at the top of my main dishes for guest now, just because it’s so easy, yet elegant. Continue reading “Baked Chicken Florentine (Gluten Free)”

Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Cupcakes

As many of your know, May is National Celiac Awareness month (and gluten-free awareness) . I was asked to contribute a gluten free cupcake recipe for the Cupcakes for a Cause event sponsored by the ACDA (American Celiac Disease Alliance). The number of cupcakes I needed to represent the number of years that I have been gluten free. Well, that seems simple enough, but because I fell off the wagon, so to speak, it hasn’t been quite 7 years, but that’s what I went with because that’s what I celebrate, the moment I found truth, gluten isn’t good. You’ll see my 7 cupcakes and a number of photos below. You may vote for which gluten free cupcake recipes you like on the Pinterest’s ACDA Cupcakes for a Cause page. Just like it or repin. Either counts as a vote. [Contest is now over.] Continue reading “Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Cupcakes”

Gluten Free Millet Bread

I love baking with millet. It’s on the light side, much like sorghum flour. And this recipe makes for a wonderful sandwich bread, as it is soft. You can make this recipe with or without an egg yolk, but you’ll need at least 4 egg whites. The egg yolk provides a little extra moisture and lends a light yellow color to the bread. Egg yolk also aids in browning, thus the reason for tenting the bread with foil during baking. I hope you enjoy my gluten free millet bread recipe. Continue reading “Gluten Free Millet Bread”

Avocado Mashed Potatoes

Gluten Free Avocado Mashed Potatoes

I know, it may sound like an odd combo, but avocado is actually a great egg or fat substitute. Though these mashed potatoes do taste a bit like avocado, with a little added cheese, (I used parmesan) they are simply amazing. I actually even enjoyed them cold. Cold, they taste more like avocado. Warmed they taste more like mashed potatoes. It’s all very interesting. It’s a must try if you like avocados. You’ll never know if you like avocado mashed potatoes unless you try them. It’s an adventure, just like my Raw Almond Pistachio (Avocado) Ice Cream Recipe, which I love! Continue reading “Avocado Mashed Potatoes”

Creamy Split Pea Soup with Fresh Sugar Snap Peas

Gluten Free Split Pea and Sugar Snap Pea Soup

My father is visiting again, and he just loves his soups! Split pea soup is one of his faves, but  knowing he is ill I just had to add some fresh nutritional content. So, I not only made a split pea soup, but with added fresh sugar snap peas. Being Italian he loves the flavor of basil, so I added a bit of that as well. Along with added onion, garlic and broth he had a huge bowl filled with tons of broken up Schar’s gluten free bread sticks! Fresh, vegan, vegetarian and delicious. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Buckwheat Bread

Gluten Free Buckwheat Bread

One of the gluten free bread recipes I had not yet made is buckwheat. Because of its nutritional values, I just had to give it a try. I used Bob’s Red Mill’s Gluten Free Homemade Wonderful Bread recipe as a basis for this recipe, but left out the soy lecithin, substituted the garbanzo bean flour for buckwheat flour, added a bit of baking powder, and used my own method of pulling it all together. Of course, I had to judge on what amounts to use for the ingredients in their mix, but I am pleased overall with the results. At first this bread appears heavier than my other gluten free bread recipes on this site, but once it is completely cooled it is about the same. It is moist and the crust is a bit crunchy. Gluten free bread crust usually softens as it ages, though. I hope you enjoy this gluten free buckwheat bread recipe, and leave feedback below once you’ve given it a try.

Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake and Cream Cheese Frosting

Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake

One of the many old traditions of red velvet cake is a southern one. During the Civil War families believed that baking a red cake would keep their men home, where it was safe. In this gluten free red velvet cake recipe, the “velvet” comes from its moisture, in this case the the additional eggs and oil. It is as moist and velvety as it looks. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake and Cream Cheese Frosting”
