Gluten Free and GOOD! Oat Muffins

You know it's good when your husband steals two of these fresh out of the oven and he HATES anything "gluten free".  I didn't tell him they were also oil and butter-free and dairy-free. 

Gluten Free Oat Muffins 

In a small bowl mix:

3 cups oat flour (I used Bob's Red Mill) or make your own with oatmeal and a blender 

1 teaspoon baking soda 

1 teaspoon baking powder

In a larger bowl mix:

1/2 cup honey

1 cup almond milk

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

Blend wet and dry adding a Tablespoon or two of water if batter is too thick.  Let sit a few minutes then place in a 12 tin muffin tin sprayed with non stick spray or use muffin tin liners.

Bake in preheated 350F oven for 14-16 minutes.  Do NOT overbake or they will be crumbly.

Did you notice I was waiting for my yogurt treat?

Still waiting.

Heavy sigh.
 

Brigid Update - Watch Out for the Flamingoes!

Sorry I've been offline for a while.  I developed a serious staph infection in my left foot (scratch that went rogue).  I'm on the mend but it's been a tough 8 months with two hospital stays and a couple months on antibiotics which ruined my gut to the point I'm still puking 2 times a day or having dry heaves.  Hang in there everyone.  (and please buy a copy of  my latest anthology

) so I have Chardonnay and chocolate through the winter.  https://www.amazon.com/Writer-Shed-Stories-Vol-Sacrifice/dp/B08L8NGDDX/It?fbclid=IwAR2feb7UCOxP6cRSXFnY6kmTMFeW-xF_xWOGiTLum7EmRHCpEEy9Rlya1f8

Gluten Free Pasta My Husband Will Eat

I've been sick the last week with Cellulitus in my left ankle after a scratch got a bacterial infection.  So my husband has been cooking for me.  The doctor said to eat low fat while on the high doses of antibiotics.  Last night he made a vegan pasta dish with gluten free pasta.

What was the real surprise was the pasta was gluten free and he actually liked he. A lot.  He hates 90% of all gluten free stuff.  It had a great taste and texture and is really high in protein. I can't wait to try their plant based mac and cheese.

Gluten Free Review - Anna's Yeast Free Bread

Sorry it's been so long since I posted.  Major bathroom remodel going on at the house, 99 year old Dad to care for and work just sort of intervened.  

Today for my two readers :-)  A review of a gluten/yeast free bread mix Anna's.

I've tried other products from Anna and  really liked them (The banana bread is really good)  Some words of advice in making this.  Use a really big bowl.  The bread "mix" is extremely powdery and if you try and mix it in a small bowl a lot of it ends up in the air.   It's also extremely thick and sticky when mixed and placing it in the pan requires some effort and it won't really smooth down (the resultant bread looked very much like the product on the box.

Taste:  I should have added the suggested sweetener (which is optional according to their directions).  It tasted much like a general whole wheat beer bread but without a hint of sweetness, almost slightly bitter when eaten cold.  I had some made as toast for breakfast with some preserves and it was really nice, but eating it plain - I should have added the sweetener.

Texture - Actually very nice.  Sliced easily with a serrated knife, even when warm.

Ingrediants:  tapioca starch,  arrowroot, millet flour, chia flour, chickpea flour, pinto bean flour, navy bean flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, sea salt, xanthan gum (certified soy and corn free).

Cost - $8 - $9.  Not cheap but it does make a nice two pound loaf.

Would I make again - I think I'd  definately try it again with a couple of Tablespoons of sugar added.
