Gluten-Free Apple Carrot Banana Muffins
Preheat oven to 375

What’s not to love about a dozen healthy muffins that mix up quickly and you can feel good about feeding your family?

I’ve gotten into the habit of making these gluten-free apple carrot banana muffins on Saturday mornings – when I don’t have to run out of the house in the morning. They are so delicious straight from the warm oven and make the house smell wonderful.

The recipe is adaptable to premixed gluten-free flour blends – just be sure there’s xanthan gum or you’ll need to add it in. With 2 cups of fresh fruit and veggies in these muffins you can’t go wrong. The fresh sweetness offered by the ingredients will keep you and your kids coming back for more.   [Read more...]

With short winter days and snow covering the ground, I was craving a little punch of spring which I found in these gluten-free cheesecakes.  These sweet little things pack a healthful and beautiful dessert punch.  They can be made into little poppers (mini-muffins) or full-sized muffins as pictured.

The base contains gluten-free graham crackers which are quite easy to make at home or store bought varieties can be used in their place.  They look like they took all day to make – when they’re actually quite simple to assemble.

At approximately 20 carbs per cheesecake, they’re a delicious low-carb and gluten-free alternative for dessert. [Read more...]

Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Can you say – yum?

I’ve been working on this gluten free recipe for quite a while, adding and deleting ingredients like the wind until my experimentation produced an amazing cookie that I couldn’t resist sharing with you!

This recipe is amenable to many changes within reason.  Making a cookie that doesn’t turn into a brick or get crumbly without the starches or xanthan gum can be a difficult balance; the liquid components and choice of flours are important in making everything well balanced.  Many people are intolerant of gums or starches mainly because they cause abdominal upset, so I thought I’d try my hand at a recipe that didn’t include them.

Chocolate Chip Almond Meal Cookies

May 24, 2014 By 6 Comments

 

I’ve been increasingly drawn to recipes that aren’t only gluten-free, but grain-free as well.  These Chocolate Chip Almond Meal Cookies are very low-glycemic, with an ingredient list you can be proud of.

You can easily whip these up once you have all of the ingredients in your pantry.   This recipe makes one sheet of cookies (about 15) which is the perfect amount for a sweet treat!  Falling in at approximately 3 carbs/ cookie, it’s a treat that I actually skip taking insulin for.

April 16, 2014 By 2 Comments

Luckily, there are ways to make Easter morning and the Easter basket less of a ‘candy-fest’ and still have your kids feel like they aren’t being jipped-off. [Read more...]
