Gluten Free Bread: Applesauce Teff Bread

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups teff  or Sorghum flour

1/2 cup Brown rice flour

1/4 cup ground flax seed

1/2 cup agave nectar or honey

1 tsp salt

1 heaping tsp cinnamon

2 Tbs dry buttermilk powder

1 Tbs baking powder

1 cup chopped nuts (I like pecans or walnuts)

1/2 cup raisins, or coconut,

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 1/2 cups natural, no sugar added applesauce

3 Tbs coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla

up to 1/2 cup water ( buttermilk) to get the proper consistency in the

batter

Preheat oven to 350F. Combine all ingredients except water or buttermilk. Add enough water to make a moist yet firm,  batter . Spoon into a greased 9 x 9 square baking dish, or into greased muffin tins if you want cupcakes. Bake for 20-35 minutes for cupcakes,

50-75 minutes for cake, until the center is firm to the touch. Serve with jam or topping

To make this cake more of a cake consistency use all teff or Sorghum

flour (3 cups) . Frost with cream cheese frosting. Pillsbury is gluten free.

This makes a great substitution for the Bran muffins we all miss so much.

Gluten Free Bread: Coffee Ring

When I was going to school we brought our lunch most days and it was considered a treat to eat at the school cafeteria.  My best friend Jodie would bring her lunch and often we would trade out lunch items with each other.

Her mom, Bunny used to make this coffee ring quite regularly and I just loved it.  Anyway, many years later she gave me the recipe.  I have of course altered it to use gluten free flour.

The recipe originally called for the cake to be layered into a bundt pan: mixture;batter;mixture;batter.  My experience has been that the mixture layer on the bottom of the pan tends to stick and you lose most of it when you take it out of the pan.  Consequently, I have started putting in the batter and then all of the mixture in the center; and then the remaining batter.  You can make your own choice.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup olive oil

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla or vanilla powder

1/2 tsp celtic sea salt

2 cups All purpose Cookie Flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 cup buttermilk or 4Tbs Buttermilk powder plus 1 cup water

Mixture:

2/3 cup raisins or dried craisins (soak them for 10 mins.)

2/3 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds)

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup brown sugar

Pour half of the batter into a greased bundt pan then sprinkle and slightly press mixture into the batter.  Pour on the remaining batter.  Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Any cake pan will do, but I like the bundt or tube pan.  Serve alone or with half and half.

Option: Topping

scroll down to the bottom of the Banana Bread recipe.  Put on top of coffee ring  immediately after taking out of oven.  Delicious!!

Gluten Free Bread/Banana Nut Bread

This gluten free Banana Nut bread is so moist and tasty.  The secret weapon is the topping!  I have given this Banana Nut Bread as Christmas treats for very many years and no one has ever realized that it is gluten free.  If  you want to use 2 1/2 cups of all purpose gluten free flour in this bread instead of the coconut flour, Teff flour and buckwheat flour it turns out awesome also.

Sift Together in a bowl:

1 cup gluten free all purpose flour

1/2 cup coconut flour

1/2 cup teff flour

1/2 cup buckwheat flour

1/3 cup sourdough (optional) I use this if I have a batch going

1  2/3 cup sugar

1  1/4 tsp baking powder

1  1/4 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

2/3 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil

1/3 cup buttermilk (may use 2 1/2 TBS Buttermilk powder for recipe plus 2/3 cup water)

1  1/4 cup mashed bananas

Beat for 2 minutes with mixer and add:

1/3 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs

2/3 cup walnuts (optional)

Grease and flour Two  9″ x 5″ x 3″  loaf pans.  Divide  the batter equally  between the 2 pans.  Bake at 350 degrees 45-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.  You can also make 6 mini loaves.  Bake 25-30 minutes.

Topping:

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

Mix together and brush on the hot loaves when they come out of the oven.  Use any leftover topping to spread on Banana Nut bread slices.
