Gluten Free Dairy Free Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins

gf df strawberry rhubarb muffins

When it’s rhubarb season you have to make at least one thing with the classic strawberry rhubarb combination. Recently I made a batch of strawberry rhubarb muffins.

I love the combination of sweet and tart. I added a little cinnamon sugar topping to give them an extra punch of flavor.

I also love that they are so simple to make! It takes less than ten minutes to get them in the oven.

These muffins are very allergen-friendly with no gluten, dairy, rice or nuts. You don’t even have to use a milk substitute.

Make a big batch of muffins, serve some for breakfast and free some for later. It’s a great way to use fresh, spring rhubarb.

Rhubarb Quinoa Breakfast Porridge (gluten free, dairy free, nut free, egg free)

rhubarb quinoa breakfast porridge

You’ve made muffins and coffee cake and pie. But you still have rhubarb and don’t know what to do with it. How about serve it for breakfast?

Rhubarb is a very versatile vegetable. If you pair it with a healthy, gluten free grain like quinoa you’ve got a power-packed breakfast.

This breakfast porridge is slightly tart and slightly sweet. It can be served warm or cold. You can make it fresh or prepare it in advance. You can serve it as-is or add all sorts of fun things for more texture and flavor. I added cranberries, raisins, butter and milk to mine. I also served some chopped nuts on the side for my husband.

If you don’t like or don’t tolerate quinoa you can easily swap it for oatmeal or rice.

Rhubarb isn’t just for desserts. It makes a great addition to your breakfast!

Soaked Gluten Free Waffles

Soaked gluten free waffles make a great Saturday morning breakfast or fun weeknight dinner.

Soaked Gluten Free Waffles | Homemade Dutch Apple Pie

My daughter requested waffles the other day. So I added them to our menu.

No problem. I’ve made gluten free waffles before.

But this time I decided to try soaking them to make them easier to digest.
 
Soaked gluten free waffles are so good!!  The version I made looked a little dark because of the teff flour. But they were delicious – especially covered in homemade strawberry topping.
 
These soaked gluten free waffles come together in minutes. Just soak the flour the day before. Then beat some egg whites, mix and pour in your waffle maker.
 
Use your favorite toppings like butter, real maple syrup, honey or fresh fruit to make soaked gluten free waffles a real treat.
 
These soaked gluten free waffles are now a staple in our Friday night breakfast for dinner rotation.  Once you try them you’ll want to add them to your menu regularly as well!
 
Are you in the mood for a satisfying breakfast (or dinner!)? Try some soaked gluten free waffles.

Soaked Gluten Free Waffles
makes about 4 waffles
 
1/2 cup white rice flour (or sorghum)
1/3 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup teff flour (or brown rice, buckwheat or amaranth)
1/2 cup total soaking liquid: buttermilk OR kefir OR yogurt OR 1 Tbsp. lemon juice + water to equal 1/2 cup
1 egg, separated
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar (not essential, but helps the egg whites stiffen)
1/2 cup smooth, unsweetened applesauce
1 Tbsp. organic cane sugar, sucanat or coconut sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
Combine the flours and soaking liquid. Cover and let soak for 7-24 hours.
 
  1. Heat and grease a waffle iron.
  2. In a medium bowl beat the egg white and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients to the soaked flour and beat (I like to use a hand mixer for this) until well combined (about 2 minutes).
  4. Fold in the egg white.
  5. Pour batter onto the waffle iron and allow to fully cook. You can keep the cooked waffles on a cooling rack on a baking sheet in the oven on low heat until all of the waffles are done.
  6. Serve with real maple syrup, honey, homemade powdered sugar or fruit topping.
  7. Store leftovers in a seal container in the refrigerator or freezer.

*To reheat wrap the waffles in a damp paper towel. Heat at 350 degrees in an oven or toaster oven for 5 – 8 minutes, until warmed.Soaked Gluten Free Waffles | Homemade Dutch Apple Pie

Gluten Free Homemade Peanut Butter “Cocoa Puff” Cereal (egg free, corn free, dairy free option)

Baby stepping your way to real food? Swap out your store-bought cereal for this healthy version of peanut butter cocoa puffs. They are even gluten and egg free (with a diary free option)!

A little while back I made homemade cocoa puffs. They were a big hit! Then my daughter and I went gluten free. And I haven’t made the cocoa puffs since then.

Problem Solved

I decided to make a gluten free version…but add an extra element and make them into peanut butter puff cereal (any fans here of the “real” version of this?).

My inability to keep the kids away from the cereal means it turned out well. I could hardly even get a picture before they were digging in. And my son found whatever he could to reach the cereal on the counter and stuff his mouth full 🙂

Kid Approved!

A mix of chocolate and peanut butter with a little sweetness and crunch. Both kids ate it plain after I made the cereal and then each had a bowl with milk for a bedtime snack. They really enjoyed drinking the chocolate peanut butter milk at the end.

We don’t buy cereal. My son will be 2 in a couple weeks and has no idea what cereal is. But they sure enjoyed this.

Easy and Healthy

This cereal is an easy breakfast on a busy morning. You get some protein from the peanut butter and milk (or milk substitute) and some carbohydrate to keep you going. It’s also a delicious treat any time of day. Or put some in a little container for young kids to munch on when you are out and about. A perfect finger food snack (with no preservatives or unhealthy oils!).

These puffs are also very allergen friendly. They are gluten free, egg free, corn free and soy free. The chocolate puffs are nut free and can easily be made dairy free. The peanut butter puffs are dairy free as well.

Try making a batch for your kids…or for yourself. You’ll be glad you did. It takes a little time to make two batches of dough/puffs. But it’s worth the effort. And if you aren’t fond of the combination you can just make one or the other. Plain chocolate is just like cocoa puffs. Or plain peanut butter puffs are great too.

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cocoa Puffs
makes 10 cups

Chocolate Puffs

1 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup amaranth flour
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1/3 cup organic cocoa powder
1/2 cup organic cane sugar, sucanat or coconut sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 cup honey
2 tsp. chocolate extract (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter (can be replaced with coconut oil or palm shortening)
1/4 cup coconut oil

Heat oven to 350.
Melt butter and coconut oil in sauce pan. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add the liquids: honey, chocolate extract, vanilla, butter/oil. Stir well. Taste dough and adjust honey and chocolate extract to your liking. Mix until a nice ball of dough is formed. The dough should not be crumbly. If it is gradually add more honey.

Split the dough into 2 equal parts. Cut 3 pieces of parchment paper the size of a cookie sheet. Lay one piece on table. Put 1/2 of dough on the paper. Lay a 2nd piece of parchment on top of dough. Squish the dough down a little with your hand. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough between the parchment paper. Roll until the dough is about 1/4″ thick. Remove the top piece of parchment paper. Cut into very small squares (with pizza cutter). Place on a baking sheet (on the parchment paper…just move the whole thing onto the baking sheet). Repeat for other half of dough. (If you don’t care about appearance you can skip the cutting step and simply break the cookie into little chunks after it bakes.)

Bake for 12-13 minutes. Turn off oven, but leave cereal in to get crisp. Remove after about 5-7 minutes (if some of the puffs are burning remove the pan). Let cool completely. Separate squares.

Combine the chocolate and peanut butter puffs in one container. Serve plain, with milk (or milk substitute) or mixed in yogurt. Store in an airtight container. You can freeze the cereal to make it last longer.

White Rice Pancakes (egg free, nut free, dairy free, gluten free)

I continue to experiment with my allergy-free foods. Last night for dinner I made pancakes. I made our usual buttermilk pancakes for the family…whole wheat, dairy and eggs. Doesn’t quite cut it for me.

It was a rice day for me, so I tried rice pancakes. I didn’t really have a recipe. I just kind of poured and mixed what I thought might work. I ended up with a thick white batter that I really thought would just turn into a messy glob in the pan. But to my great surprise (and to my growling tummy’s delight) they turned out quite well!

My biggest concern was not being able to use eggs. But it wasn’t a problem. I compensated with a little extra baking soda and some oil.

These weren’t as light and fluffy like the other pancakes I made. They were a little thicker. I’m sure I’ll keep experimenting with the recipe. But honestly I really liked them. I found myself sneaking another bite and another bite and another bite as we sat at the dinner table (after I was “done” with my dinner :P). And then I started snacking on them later in the evening 🙂  The combination of white rice, coconut milk and lard gave them a unique, addicting flavor.

When I search for gluten free recipes I get the usual combo of about five different flours and gums to bind them all. I can’t do that with a rotational diet. I have one or two grains allowed each day. And I can’t do gums. So my goal is to make simple allergy-free recipes that don’t require twenty ingredients.

Eating allergy-free foods doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite meals or buy a ton of specialty food. Do you have a go-to pancake recipe? Do you have a favorite allergy-free breakfast? Give these pancakes a try. Even if you don’t have to eat allergy-free. It’s a nice change from the usual wheat pancakes.

White Rice Pancakes (egg free, nut free, dairy free, gluten free)
makes ~ 6 pancakes

1 cup white rice flour (you could substitute another gluten free flour…you may have to adjust the liquid ratios)
1 cup coconut milk (I used mostly the liquidy part but also a little of the cream)
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 Tbsp. EVOO
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. cane sugar

lard, tallow, coconut oil or palm shortening for frying (you can use butter if you are not dairy free)

Directions:

Mix all  ingredients (except frying oil). Adjust to desired thickness by adding more coconut milk or water.

Fry in lard over medium heat on griddle until golden, 3-5 minutes per side.

Serve with honey, maple syrup or fruit topping.

These can also be used as bread/buns.

Chocolate Chip Scones (dairy free, egg free, gluten free, nut free)

I got all of my food allergy results a few days ago. So what does that mean? Let the experimentation begin!

I made two batches of chocolate chip scones this week. Both are egg free. One is also dairy and gluten free. Both are delicious! And very easy to make. Honestly, the dairy and gluten free version tasted just like chocolate chip cookies to me. What a treat as I embark on this journey.

As someone that is passionate about baking…and loves to taste what I make, it’s good to know I don’t have to completely give up what I love. Having some allergen friendly treats here and there will definitely make this process easier.

These scones are great for breakfast, brunch or a snack any time of day. They pair well with soup too. Give them a try. Which version do you like best?

Soaked Date Scones

I tried a Nourishing Traditions recipe this morning for date scones. These were really easy to make since the food processor does most of the work. And they turned out great!! Mildly sweet. A nice crust. A definite keeper.

This recipe is a great base for any flavor scone. I used dates and raisins today. I’ll have to play around with other flavors.

This post is linked to Fat Tuesday at Real Food Forager.

 

Soaked Date Scones

3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or spelt or kamut)
1 cup buttermilk (I used a little over 1 cup of a combination of yogurt and kefir.)
4 Tbsp. melted butter or lard
1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
2 tsp. baking soda
3 Tbsp. rapadura or coconut sugar
1 cup chopped dates (or any dried fruit)

Mix flour with buttermilk (or yogurt) to form a thick dough. Cover. Let soak for 12-24 hours.

Place dough in a food processor. Process several minutes to knead. Melt butter with rapadura. Add butter mixture, salt and soda to dough. Process until mixed. Add dates and pulse a few times.

Remove dough to a well floured board. Roll dough to about 3/4 inch thickness. Cut into rounds with a glass or to any shape you like (I just cut odd shapes with a pastry cutter). Place on a buttered or parchment lined baking sheet. (I sprinkled a little extra sugar on top at this point.)  Bake at 350 for 35-40 min. Serve warm with butter.

Sourdough Granola Muffins

I haven’t used my sourdough in a few weeks, and I’ve been trying to figure out what to make with it before it grew too much. Today I was trying to come up with an easy baking project that my daughter and I could do that would also use up a really ripe banana I had.

I thought sourdough muffins with banana. I’ve done that before in combination with both strawberries and blueberries. But I don’t have fresh berries to use up. So I thought I could do banana chocolate chip muffins.

As I gathered ingredients I also took out an open bag of butterscotch chips. Then my daughter said she wanted to use her “granola bowl” (the bowl she usually uses for “her granola” when we make it together). So I got out a little coconut to put in her bowl (she LOVES coconut).

Then I thought I guess I could add some coconut to our muffins. Then Rebecca came over to help me get out our mixing bowls and grabbed the nut chopper. I thought I guess I could add nuts too. So my muffins evovled into granola muffins!

I LOVE granola. I could eat it every day. So I figured a granola muffin must be good too. And it is!!! So good! My daughter scarfed down a whole one with lunch.

Sourdough Granola Muffins
Makes 12 muffins

1 cup whole wheat flour (I used sprouted wheat flour…really helps keep them moist)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 – 1/2 cup cane sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup oil (I used coconut)
1 cup sourdough starter
1 1/2 cups total of granola add-ins (I used raisins, chopped crispy walnuts, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and coconut.)
1 small very ripe banana, mashed (optional)

Preheat oven to 425F.

Combine dry ingredients in small bowl. Stir in granola add-ins. Combine wet ingredients (and mashed banana) in medium bowl. Add dry ingredients to wet ones.

Mix quickly and spoon into muffin cups (I used silicon muffin cups…the muffins popped right out.).

Bake at 425 for 18-20 minutes.

Kishk Granola

This morning I made a new batch of granola. Last week I made a batch of soaked granola. I made it the same way I always make granola. But it got a bit overdone. Today I decided to try a “raw” granola…meaning unbaked. I got this recipe from Nourishing Traditions. The main ingredient is kishk (a fermented dish made with cracked wheat that is soaked and dried). I substituted my soaked and dried oats. I also added some flax seed and a few sunflower seeds. It’s kind of strange to just have it all mixed together unbaked, kind of loose. We’ll see how it works. I’ll try some later today. I only made a small batch to try it out. I think my next experiment will be somwhere inbetween…only bake it for 5 or 10 minutes. Maybe that will be the perfect balance. It will hold together, but not be overdone.

 

Kishk Granola
Makes 6 cups

4 cups kishk (I used soaked oats) (this can be gluten free if you use gf oats)
1 cup crispy pecans, almonds or cashews, chopped (I used pecans and walnuts…if using walnuts be sure to store the granola in the refrigerator since walnuts can easily get rancid)
1 cup dried sweetened coconut meat (I just used some organic, unsweetened coconut flakes and added a little extra sugar to compensate)
1 cup dried fruit (I used raisins)
1/2 cup Rapadura (I used organic cane sugar)

Mix all ingredients together. Store in zip-lock bags or airtight containers in refrigerator. Eat like granola with milk or cream.

This cereal will actually keep well for several weeks at room temp and is a good provision to take when one is traveling and wants to avoid hotel breakfasts.

Soaked Granola

Last week I made a batch of soaked oats and crispy pecans. Then I used them to make homemade granola. I used my usual granola recipe. But I added coconut oil instead of another kind of fat. Maybe next time I’ll try butter too. This turned out really well. Although I did let it bake a bit longer than I would have liked since I was busy with other things. It is crunchier than the granola you make with unsoaked oats. But I like that. I’ll be making my granola like this from now on to make it easier on my tummy. I’ll repost my granola recipe here.

Mary’s Soaked Granola
*this can be gluten free if you don’t use wheat bran and if you tolerate/use GF oats

12 cups soaked and dried rolled oats
2 cups dried fruit (any mix or just raisins)
2 tsp. cinnamon

optional mix ins:
1 1/2 cups ground flax seed
1 1/2 cups wheat bran or wheat germ
1 cup chopped nuts (crispy pecans, walnuts or almondsl)
1 cup seeds (pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, etc.)
1 cup coconut (sweetened or unsweetened…whatever you prefer, I used organic unsweetened)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted butter or EVOO (or a combo)

Heat oven to 325. Mix all dry ingredients, except fruit and crispy nuts, in one or two large bowls (however it is easiest to stir). (Mix a small amount of safe (oats, coconut, wheat bran, coconut, rasisins), dry ingredients in a smaller bowl for a toddler to mix and eat:) Pour honey, syrup and oil over dry ingredients. Mix well. Spread granola onto baking sheets (you can do all of it on 2 sheets…they’ll be very full. Or you can do it on 4 sheets (2 batches) so that it bakes a little more evenly. You may have to cut the baking time down a bit if you do it on 4 pans). Bake 20 – 30 min., stirring 2 or 3 times throughout. Add fruit and nuts during the last 5 min. or after granola is done baking. Let cool. Store in sealed container or bag. Freezes well. I generally freeze it in gallon freezer bags then just take out a little at a time as we need it. It can even be eaten directly from the freezer. You can scale the recipe down if you don’t want to make a large batch. I make a ton and freeze it so that I don’t have to make it all the time.
