Here is how I would modify it to be gluten free.

  2. Follow the recipe.

Gluten Free Tortilla Recipe

I haven’t made them yet, but I will. I’m missing the xanthan gum. My pantry isn’t fully gluten free yet.

Gluten Free Coconut Banana Brownies

I made a modified version of this recipe. It is good, but I would change a few things if I was going to make it again.

First let’s look at the ingredients. The recipe calls for 1 and 1/2 sticks of butter, which is too much. (It left a greasy stain on my napkin.) I think I’ll use one stick next time. I substituted butter milk for coconut milk. I substituted 1 and a half cups of Chia seed flour, instead of the 1 and a 1/4 cups of gluten free flour mix the recipe called for. Oh yea, and I used 2 bananas instead of candied ginger. I smoothed the top off after I put the mixture in the pan and then sprinkled the coconut flakes on top. Yea, don’t do that if you are cooking it in a toaster oven. I had to yank it out and fold the coconut into the mixture because after 5 minutes the coconut was all toasted and the brownies were uncooked. Then I put it back in my little oven and set the timer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, it was still raw, so I put it in for another 15 minutes, but the bottom wasn’t brown, but thoroughly cooked and tasted pretty good. Let’s see if I can get my teenager to try it.

Update – My teenager is showing no interest in them at all. He is more interested in eating macaroni and cheese. I stocked some organic Anne’s Macaroni and Cheese in the pantry for him.

BTW- Check out Big Lots in your town and see what organic food offerings they have. I got a boat load of Knudsens’s Spriters there for 2 bucks a six pack. Normally, they go for 7 to 8 bucks a six pack. It pays to be frugal. Also, from the looks of it, Knudsen is repackaging their Spritzers into smaller cans and they will be sold in 4 packs now. That’s why I was able to snag them so cheap. I should have known.

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

I made these today. I didn’t measure the peanut butter, but they came out OK anyway.  Let them sit for a bit before you transfer them to a plate or they will fall apart. Overall, its an easy recipe and I would make it again, but I think I’ll try to find a sugar free recipe next time.

Update – It took about 3 days to detox from the sugar overload caused by these cookies.
