GF PUMPKIN SPICE WAFFLES

Leave a reply

Today I’m sharing my new gluten-free pumpkin spice waffles recipe! I am not personally 100% gluten free, but I try to vary the grains in my diet so that I am not consuming massive quantities of wheat and leaving all the other fun ones “on the table”…pun intended. 😉

Are you obsessed with pumpkin spice everything this time of year, or are you so over it? Let me know in the comments and thanks for stopping by!

3 cups oat flour or rolled oats (certified gluten-free, if necessary)
1 tablespoon baking powder (another place to check for gluten, if avoiding)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon each: cinnamon, allspice, and ginger
1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
1/2 cup pumpkin
4 eggs
1/2 dropper hazelnut stevia (or vanilla or english toffee) – This is optional, but I like it!
1 1/2 cup water
Makes 6 waffles.
Blend oats (unless using oat flour).  Add baking powder, salt, and spices.  Blend to incorporate.  Add eggs, stevia, and water.  Blend, scrape down sides of blender, and blend again until all is incorporated.  Let batter sit while you heat the waffle maker.  Add water by tablespoon if batter becomes too thick to pour easily.  Cook according to waffle maker directions and remove carefully.  Butter waffle maker before pouring batter, if necessary.
Enjoy with butter and maple syrup, or fresh fruit and coconut cream, and a nice cup of coffee.
Note: I have not tried making this with flax eggs yet.  I should try it to find out for my vegan friends!  <3

GF CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Leave a reply

2 cups oats
1 cup coconut sugar or sucanat
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

1 cup water
1/4 cup avacado or liquid coconut oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract

In a blender, blend rolled oats until they become a fine flour. Add sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Blend to combine. Add water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Pulse until just combined, scraping down sides with a spatula as needed. Divide batter into 12 muffin tins. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then move to a wire rack to continue cooling. If you eat them warm they are crumbly. It’s hard to resist though. ? Delicious with a glass of homemade cashew milk or homemade coconut milk!

Make sure your oats or oat flour is certified gluten free, if necessary.

Which Gluten Free Cracker Tastes the Best? // Gluten-Free Taste Test

Leave a reply

Today I am doing a gluten-free taste test of four types of gluten free crackers. Which gluten free cracker tastes the best? I don’t eat 100% gluten free, but I have mainly switched over to using alternatives in order to vary my diet and see where the science goes. If I am away from home I eat whatever is available. Fortunately I have that luxury. Many people cannot have any gluten at all for serious health reasons. Some choose to avoid it while all the science gets worked out. How about you? Do you eat gluten containing foods? Do you avoid gluten? Do you like crackers? We don’t eat a whole lot of crackers around here, but we do enjoy them from time to time. We also eat lots of veggies with our hummus or cheese. 🙂
