Gluten free Pizza recipe.


This recipe is so much easier than a regular pizza recipe. It takes about a fourth of the time to make.
Here's the recipe!

Ingredients:                             Makes: about 1 large pizza (8 servings)
2 cups almonds, walnuts, or pecans
3-4 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. dried oregano
1 tbsp. dried basil (or use Italian seasoning)
1/2 cup of your favorite kind of cheese (I used white sharp cheddar)
two big hand fulls of spinach

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Put all your ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until the mixture feels like dough (you might have to use a spatula to scrape the mixture closer to the blades, because it tends to stick to the sides.) Once your mixture is dough-like, take your pizza pan, and using your hands spread the dough evenly on the pan (if your using a non stick pan there's no need to grease). Bake in the oven for 10-12 minuets, Then take it out, and add your sauce and favorite toppings. bake it for 10 more minuets (to melt the cheeze) and Enjoy! 




Here are all the ingredients in the food processor.
Spread the dough evenly.
Here's the crust before you bake it.
I like Sausage, mushrooms, and pineapples on my pizza.

Gluten free Snickerdoodle recipe.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 3/4 cup oat flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder

Sugar coating:
1/3 cup white sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon

The first thing you need to do is cream the butter and sugar in a medium sized bowl. Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, then add the vanilla.
In a separate bowl mix all the dry ingredients (If you don't have any oat flour on hand, you can grind quick oats in a food processor.) Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir well. Refrigerate the dough for an hour (or up to 2 days). When your ready to make the cookies, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Get a small bowl and make the sugar coating. Roll your cookies into 1 inch balls, coat them in the sugar coating, and set them on a baking sheet 2 inches apart (don't press them down.) Bake in the oven for 8-10 minuets, take them out and let them set on the baking sheet for one minuet, and then remove them from the pan and onto wax paper. Let them cool, and enjoy!

Gluten free Banana bread recipe.

My parents, my sister, and I have been on a gluten free diet for a few months now (we have an intolerance to wheat). 
My Dad and I developed this Banana bread recipe the other day, when we notice we had a lot of ripe bananas. This recipe is pretty easy and super delicious. I recommend this to anyone even if they aren't allergic to wheat. 

Ingredients:                            Makes 1 large loaf or 3 small loaves
1 cup Rice flour
1 cup Oat flour (we made some by grinding quick oats in a food processor)
2 tsp. Xanthan gum
1 tsp. Baking soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
3 Bananas, Peeled and mashed
4 tbsp. softened Butter
3 Eggs
2 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 cup white Sugar
1/4 cup brown Sugar

Directions: Set your oven to 350degrees F. In a small bowl, mix dry ingredients (except sugars). Mix the wet ingredients (in order as listed) in a medium bowl. Then mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Grease your pan/pans and pour the mixture into them 3/4 of the way. Bake them in the oven for 40-50 minuets. When the bread has finished baking, set on a cooling rack. 
Here is the finished product. 














I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

Much love,
