Marquetta’s Zucchini Bread

March 22, 2018 By Terry 1 Comment

This recipe originally came from a friend and it’s been in our family for many years. The zucchini bread is moist and packed with flavor. Make it gluten-free by substituting Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free flour for the flour in the recipe. On a rainy day, this is perfect with a cup of hot tea! You can also jazz it up with some chocolate chips, walnuts, or other additions. Be creative and enjoy!

Cranberry Pumpkin Spice Bread
This Cranberry Pumpkin Spice Bread became a fast favorite around our house. It's perfect for the holidays, especially if you like to bake for other people. Hint: If you're looking for a unique present for the holidays, these loaves of bread can be a great way to say Happy Holidays without shelling out a bundle of cash. (We use a mini-loaf pan that makes four decorative mini-loaves instead of two full-sized loaves.)

  3. Mix the egg substitute, cranberry sauce, pureed pumpkin, applesauce, and grated orange zest together. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just moistened.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pans. Sprinkle the top of each loaf with the chopped nuts.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let loaves cool for 10 minutes then remove from pans.

1 egg equals 1/4 cup egg substitute—4 eggs are required for this recipe which is what I used.

Chocolate Chip Gluten Free Banana Bread
We love quick breads like banana bread. But, sometimes we want them to be a bit different. The nice thing about this recipe is you can easily change things up. Don't want chocolate chips? Try pecans or walnuts, or raisins, or dried cranberries. The possibilities are limitless!

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Mix butter, sugar, and vanilla on high speed in mixer until creamy. The mixture should be light when done.
  3. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well blended
  4. Mash bananas with the milk in a separate bowl and set aside
  5. In another bowl, combine remaining dry ingredients.
  6. Alternately mix about 1/3 of dry ingredients and 1/3 of bananas into the egg mixture until all are combined.
  7. Bake for 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Check during last 1/2 hour for doneness by inserting toothpick or cake tester.
  8. Allow to cool on wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.
Recipe Notes

There's a wide range of time for baking due to different baking speeds for different types of pans. Once you know how long your pan and oven take, you can lock that in as the baking time. Also, if you don't have a cake tester, just use a metal turkey lacer (it works really well!).

Fresh Apple Oatmeal Breakfast Bread

September 19, 2017 By Terry

Apple Oatmeal Bread
Time for another food experiment! This time, it’s a good-for-you apple oatmeal bread that is oh-so-good!

We found the original recipe on FoodNetwork.com and did a little modification to make this breakfast bread gluten-free. At the same time, we added a little more spice. The result is a fabulous breakfast bread that is sure to impress anyone you serve.

Converting this recipe to gluten-free is easy if you use a gluten-free one-to-one flour and gluten-free oats. We used Bob’s Red Mill for both. These days, it’s becoming much easier to find gluten-free baking ingredients, so there’s no reason to not give gluten-free a try!

Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake

November 4, 2016 By Terry Leave a Comment

Recipe by: SEAMSTERRIFIC

“When my mother was undergoing chemotherapy for the cancer that eventually took her life, I came up with the basic recipe for the cheesecake. It was one of the few foods that she really enjoyed and would stay down. Now my granddaughter has a gluten allergy, so I’ve adapted the recipe for her by using the gluten-free crust instead of the original graham crumb crust. I think I like this version better!”

  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Ingredients
Crust:
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 1/2 cup crushed slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
Filling:
  • 2 8 ounce packages cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 3/4 cups pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Whisk almond meal, slivered almonds, 1/4 cup sugar, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl; stir in butter until almond mixture is evenly moistened. Pour almond mixture into a 10-inch springform pan and press firmly into the bottom.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until crust is set, about 10 minutes. Remove crust from oven and reduce temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place a pan of hot water onto the bottom rack of the oven to help reduce cracking in the cheesecake.
  4. Beat cream cheese, sour cream, pumpkin puree, 1 cup sugar, eggs, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl using an electric mixer, scraping bottom and sides of bowl frequently, until filling is smooth. Pour filling over hot crust.
  5. Place pan on the center rack in oven and bake until cheesecake peaks in the center, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature before removing sides of pan. Transfer cheesecake to a serving plate and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Chill in refrigerator before serving, at least 2 hours.
