Members' Recipes ~ ~ Feel free to post your own favorite recipes!

Gluten Free Pancakes (Abby's find!)

1 ¼ c rice flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ c buttermilk or sour cream (I used rice milk for dairy-free)
2 eggs
¼ olive oil (I used safflower oil for a lighter taste)
Cinnamon and vanilla to taste, optional
Blueberries or fruit to taste, optional

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Melissa's substitutions to make wheat-free (not gluten-free because of the oatmeal) are as follows:

For flour use ½ cup brown rice flour and ½ cup of tapioca.

For sugar use ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup of sugar, 1/3 cup of blue agave.

If you are going to substitute flours only, add 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum (the agave adds moisture so the xanthan gum isn’t needed).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
an oldie but goodie:
Flourless peanut butter cookies
1 c peanut butter
1 c brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
1 c chocolate chips - optional (I usually leave out because they are too sweet in my opinion, but more like a gourmet cookie)
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, let cool before removing from pan as they can be fragile.
Best to double recipe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
vegan wheat-free chocolate chip cookies
1 3/4 c oat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 c br sugar
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/3 c canola oil
1 Tbs ground flaxseeds
1/4 c soy milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 c chocolate chips
(Only the ingrediants were sent to me so I'm assuming that we would mix & bake as you would with any cookie recipe.)
