I'm always looking for good gluten free recipes. My niece's friend, Jenny, gave her this recipe and she shared it with me. Actually, Jenny's mom makes these for my niece who is gluten free. These cookies are absolutely, unbelievably DELICIOUS! Everyone will love these--gluten free or not!
Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup peanut butter (I used creamy)
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
Beat peanut butter and sugar with hand mixer. Add egg and baking powder. Roll into balls, then roll in some extra sugar. (You could use red or green sugar to make them for Christmas!) Place on a cookie sheet. Press each cookie with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.
Hope you have a very
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Bananas and Eggs? Sounds like a weird combination to me. And in a weird way it was delicious! My sister gave me this recipe because it was healthy and good for me. I hate to admit it, but she was right. It has a good combination of protein and carbs and is very filling. A good way to start the day. Need I say more!
Banana Egg Pancake
1 egg
1/2 banana, mashed
cinnamon
honey or maple syrup
Mix the egg and banana until well blended. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your taste. Mix again.
Spray a small fry pan with Pam. Heat at medium high. Pour in egg mixture. Cook like you are making an omelet,but don't fold. Flip like you would a pancake.
Put in a plate and drizzle with honey or maple syrup--actually I pour it on (as you can tell by the above picture) because I have a sweet tooth. Whether you drizzle or smother, I think you will enjoy this different breakfast treat! Yum!
I'm back! Has it really been over a year? I can now say I am a breast cancer survivor and doing great. I thank Heavenly Father every day that I have more time on this earth with my family. More time to love, more time to serve and more time to put recipes on my blog :-)
I'll start with one of my favorite new recipes that my friend, Cindi, shared with me, Tofu Chocolate Pudding. Yes, tofu! I hate tofu! But I love this pudding and it's pretty healthy--full of protein. You do need a VitaMix Blender to make it, but it is worth it. You would never believe it is made with tofu. Delicious! When you try it, you won't like it--you'll love it!
Tofu Chocolate Pudding
14 oz. soft tofu, rinsed and drained (I used firm tofu. Do not use extra firm.)
2/3 cup chocolate chips
½ Tablespoon vanilla
1 ½ teaspoon stevia
(If using packets, about 4 packets)
1 teaspoon cocoa
Place ingredients in a Vitamix Blender in the order written
above. Turn on low and blend on high
until smooth and creamy. The chocolate
chips will melt as the mixture gets hot.
I also wanted to make something sweet for my niece who eats gluten free, so I used gluten free ingredients in my No Bake recipe. I used almond butter and they were delicious!
Gluten Free No Bakes
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 stick butter (melted)
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup almond milk
Bring the above ingredients to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. When it comes to a boil, boil for 1 minute, continue stirring. Remove and heat and stir in the following:
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup almond butter
1 1/2 cups gluten free quick oats
Drop by Tablespoons onto wax paper or plastic wrap. Let cool and enjoy! Makes about 12 to 14 cookies.
I wanted to make something delicious for my niece in Charleston, but it had to be gluten free. So I took some of may favorite recipes and made them gluten free. Here is my favorite meatball recipe using gluten free ingredients. They are really good!
Gluten Free Meatballs
2 pounds ground beef
3/4 cup gluten free quick oats
1 cup almond milk
3 Tablespoons of minced onion
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Sauce:
1 cup ketchup
2 Tablespoons sugar
3 Tablespoons white vinegar
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
5 Tablespoons minced onion
Dash of Tabasco
In a large bowl mix together the ground beef, oats, almond mild, 3 Tablespoons minced onion, salt and pepper. Roll into meatballs (I measure about 1/4 cup mixture per meatball). Will make about 16 meatballs. You can make them smaller if you'd like. Refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to get them firm.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put about 2 Tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown meatballs until browned. (It doesn't have to be cooked all the way because it will cook in the oven.) Put in a 9 x 13 pan.
Mix all ingredients for the sauce and pour evenly over the meatballs. Bake for 45 minutes or until bubbly and hot.
**I found that if I grated a large onion it was enough for the meatballs and the sauce.
I've been wanting to post this recipe since April when I went to Utah for BYU Women's Conference. (Better late than never!) My daughter-in-law made these brownies for everyone. (Her son is suppose to be on a gluten free diet.) Well, these brownies were absolutely delicious! She made a homemade chocolate icing to put on the top. Ummm, so moist and choco-licious! But you really don't need the icing. These brownies definitely can stand on their own.
Gluten Free Brownies
1 (16 oz) jar of creamy roasted almond butter
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups agave nectar or pure maple syrup
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Using a mixer, blend almond butter in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs, agave or maple syrup, and vanilla. Blend in cocoa powder, salt and baking soda. Then fold in chocolate chips. Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 glass dish. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes.
