Caramel Chocolate Pretzel Bark

I recently was looking through my old recipe index box and found this recipe for Caramel Chocolate Pretzel Bark.
I haven't made this in years. I substituted Gluten Free Pretzels for Regular Pretzels.
This bark is easy to make and taste terrific. It would make a great Holiday Gift.


Caramel Chocolate Pretzel Bark ~ Gluten Free

Line a 15 X 10 Jelly Roll pan with Aluminum foil

8 oz. Mini Pretzels or Sticks. I broke the sticks in half.
I used Gratify Gluten Free Pretzels ~  Sea Salt Sticks or use regular pretzels if your not Gluten Free

In a Medium Sauce pan combine over medium high heat
1 cup Butter, sliced
1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
Bring to a boil stirring occasionally. When it reaches a rolling boil, boil without stirring for 3 Minutes.

Pour over the Pretzels. Use a rubber spatula to help spread it evenly over the pretzels.

Bake in a Preheated 375* oven
For 5 Minutes
Remove from the oven and sprinkle on
12 oz. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips.
Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Use an off set spatula to spread out the Chocolate.
Sprinkle with Sea Salt, I used Himalayan Pink Sea Salt (salt to taste)

I let my bark harden for 1 hour at room temperature and then in the refrigerator for another hour or until firm.

Remove the bark from the pan, peeling off the aluminum foil.

Either cut your bark with a knife or break apart with your hands for a more traditional bark look.

I store my bark in the Refrigerator until ready to serve.


ENJOY!!

Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins ~ Gluten Free ~ Low Carb ~ Sugar Free ~ Dairy Free ~ Grain Free

If you are looking for a Gluten Free, Low Carb, Sugar Free, Dairy Free, Grain Free Muffins, check out this simple recipe.
These muffins are not a sweet muffin. They go along wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. I have made these many times.
My Husband has cut out white sugar from his diet and he really enjoys these. Cranberry's are naturally tart, if you find
these muffins not sweet enough you can use regular Maple Syrup if your not counting Carbs or Sugar intake.


Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins ~ Gluten Free ~ Low Carb ~ Sugar Free ~ Dairy Free ~ Grain Free

In a medium bowl whisk together:
6 eggs
add and whisk in:
¼ Cup Pumpkin Puree (Not Pumpkin Pie Filling)
½ Cup Coconut Oil, Melted
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
¼ Cup Sugar Free Maple Flavored Syrup (See Footnote)

Add and whisk in:
½ Cup Coconut Flour (Sift or put thru a small strainer to remove lumps)
½ tsp. Salt
¼ tsp. Baking Soda
1 TBL. Pumpkin Pie Spice
Mix well

Add and fold in with a rubber spatula:
1-1/2 cups Fresh or Frozen Cranberry's (I kept mine whole or you can chop them)

Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray
use an ice cream scoop to evenly measure out the batter.
You will get 10-12 Muffins

Bake in a preheated 350* oven
for 30 minutes or until done

Remove from the muffin tins and cool on a wire rack.

These muffins freeze wonderfully:
After they are completely cooled  I wrap them individually with plastic wrap and place in a container in the freezer.


**Footnote**
You can use regular Maple Syrup in place of the sugar free Maple Syrup flavoring if you are not Low Carb or Sugar Free. I like the brand
Maple Grove Farms. I am not sponsored by them.

I saw this recipe posted on Facebook but the person who posted it said they did not come up with the original recipe. I do not know who to credit for the original recipe. The only change I made to the recipe I saw posted on Facebook was to add extra cranberry's. 

Sunflower Seed ~ Cheddar Cheese Crackers ~ Gluten Free and Low Carb

Looking for a quick and easy Gluten Free and Low Carb Cracker Recipe? Check out this simple and super tasty Cracker recipe

Sunflower Seed ~ Cheddar Cheese Crackers ~ Gluten Free and Low Carb

In a Food Processor with the blade add:
340 grams Raw, Shelled Sunflower Seed
Turn on the food processor for 30 second at a time checking until the seeds turn into a fine meal.
It took about 3 minutes with my food processor.

Add:
180 grams Finely grated Orange Sharp Cheddar Cheese (or regular cheddar cheese)
½ tsp. Salt
Pulse for 6-8 times or until blended.

Add through the shoot:
¼ cup of Water
Pulse until the dough forms a ball.

I lined my cookie sheet with a Silpat liner then a piece of Parchment paper.
(My Oven runs hot I use the silpat liner so they don't burn)

Turn the dough out onto the parchment paper, flatten out slightly then cover with another piece of parchment paper. Using your hands or a small silicon roller spread out the dough evenly and as thin as you can get it. This dough is very forgiving, if it starts to crack just press it back together. Peel off the top layer of parchment paper and sprinkle on some salt to taste.

Score the crackers into desired size pieces. I used a small pizza cutter being careful not to cut into the silpat liner. My edges were not even, you can always cut with a butter knife to make even edges.

Bake in a preheated 325* oven
For 30 minutes or until golden brown
I rotated my pans half way through for even browning.

The crackers peel easily off the parchment paper. Cool for a few minutes. Break the crackers along the scored lines and cool on a wire rack. Be careful as they are very hot. The crackers do harden up when cooling.

The middle couple of rows of my crackers were not done at 30 minutes. I placed them back in the oven for an addition 5 minutes or until done.

Completely cool the crackers on the wire rack before storing in a air tight container.

ENJOY!!

Garlic Cheddar Biscuits ~ Gluten Free ~ Low Carb

These simple to make biscuits have become a family favorite. They are great dipped in Soups and Sauces.

Garlic Cheddar Biscuits ~ Gluten Free ~ Low Carb
In a mixing bowl whisk:
1/3 Cup Coconut Flour : I used Bob's Red Mill ~ Sift it to remove any lumps
1 TBL. Psyllium Husk
½ tsp. Baking Powder
Dash of Salt and Pepper
1 tsp. Garlic Powder (or to taste)
In a separate bowl whisk together:
4 Eggs
then add
1/3 Cup Melted Butter cooled
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients using a wire whisk until combined
Using a Rubber Spatula fold in:
1 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Let sit for 5 minutes to absorb the Psyllium Husk
Line a cookie sheet with a silpat liner
Use an ice cream scoop to evenly measure out the biscuits onto the prepared cookie sheet
You get 6-7 biscuits
Bake in a preheated 400* oven
For 15-18 Minutes or until the top and edges of the biscuits are golden brown
Melt 1 TBL. Butter
After you remove the biscuits from the oven brush with the melted butter.
Cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
Because these biscuits have a lot of eggs, I find that cooling them for a least 2-3 hours makes them more dense and are great for dipping into Soups and Sauces.
Enjoy!

I used Chicken rather than Turkey and added Kale:

Denny's has a wonderful Gluten Free Menu

I took my Daughter out for Breakfast on my Grandsons 1st day of Kindergarten. She looked up Gluten Free Breakfast Restaurants for me and found Denny's. I have never been to a Denny's before.
This video is just a quick look at the Gluten Free Menu options they have at Denny's and my Meal. I ordered the Santa Fe Skillet with an English Muffin. It was so delicious, I will definitely go back.

I very seldom go out to eat because of being Gluten Free. Its wonderful to see that more and more Restaurants are offering Gluten Free Options.

To find a Denny's near you:

Place the Kale in the sink running cold water over it to clean
Remove the Kale and dry on Towels

Cut the Stem off the end
Then using your knife cut into the Kale along the stem to remove
Stack a few pieces of Kale together and Roll up (Chiffonade)  Cut into desired size pieces
Or
You can hand pick off the leaves. Do what ever method you prefer.
Kale will shrink a lot when you cook it.

add Half of the Kale and toss around with Tongs
Add the rest of the Kale
along with Crushed Black Pepper and Salt to taste.

Toasted Sesame Seeds. Use a small skillet add in Sesame Seeds and toss around until golden brown.
Sprinkle over the Kale after it has been cooked.

I used bagged Carrots
I did not peel them. I gave them a good scrubbing

Cook for 4-5 minutes. If they start to stick add just a little more water.

How to Spiralize Carrots ~ I used Orange, Yellow and Purple Carrots

I was so excited to find large Carrots in 3 colors at the Farm stand. You need to use large Carrots with the Spiralizer.


Facebook Gluten Free Page:
https://www.facebook.com/SharingGlutenFreeRecipes


How to Spiralize Carrots:

Follow the directions of your Spiralizer on how to set up the machine.
Wash and Peel your Carrots.
I was so happy when I found large Orange, Yellow and Purple Carrots at the Farm stand. Cut the Carrots in half.
I used the Angel Hair Blade to spiralize the carrots. You need to use a little forward pressure to help get the Carrots through.

You can eat them raw, adding to salads and use in a coleslaw. Or
Oven Roast, Steam or Boil them.

I sauteed mine in a large skillet with just a little water. I tossed them around until they were done. They took about 6 minutes. You may have to add just a little bit more water if they start to stick. If you used the larger blade you may have to cover the pan for a minute or so to help soften them. You do not want them mushy.
When the carrots were done I added some butter and salt.

I served my Carrots with a Roasted Pork Loin and Cauliflower Fried Rice.

ENJOY!!!

Cauliflower Steak

My Son showed me a photo of Cauliflower Steak, I couldn't wait to try it. It is such an amazing side dish.

Facebook Gluten Free Page:
https://www.facebook.com/SharingGlutenFreeRecipes


Cauliflower Steaks

1 head of Cauliflower
I used a medium size one
Remove the leaves
Cut the stem even but not into the florets and leaving the core on.
Using a sharp knife cut the Cauliflower in Half
Cut a slice down the edge of the Cauliflower florets so that you have 2 flat sides

Save the extra Florets for Cauliflower Rice, Salads, Roasting etc..

I attempted to make this 2 times previous trying to get 3-4 steaks and each time the florets fell off.
I have seen videos where people get anywhere between 2-5 Steaks. I also wanted mine thicker and they did not fall apart.

Brush one side of the Cauliflower with EVOO
Season to your taste with:
Salt and Pepper
Garlic Powder
Smoked Paprika

Heat a Grill pan to medium temperature
Brush with EVOO
Place the two Cauliflower Steaks seasoned side down
Brush the other side with EVOO and sprinkle on more Seasonings

Cook for about 3 Minutes or until golden brown and some grill marks.
Turn over and continue to cook for another 3 minutes

Spray a Cookie Sheet with Cooking Spray
Place the Cauliflower Steaks on the Pan

Place into a Preheated 425* oven
Bake 10 Minutes
Remove pan from the oven
Brush the Cauliflower Steaks with any sauce of your choice
I used Sriracha Sauce for my Husband which is Low Carb
For mine I used Trader Joes Sriracha Roasted Garlic BBQ Sauce which is not low Carb

Cook for 10 minutes more
If they are still firm cover with tin foil tented and place back in the oven.

Mine took just a total of  27-30 minutes to be done.
Depending on the size you cut the Cauliflower will determine how long they need to roast.
Sprinkle with some Parsley and serve.

How to make Cauliflower Rice ~ Low Carb Recipe

Cauliflower rice is a great low carb replacement for regular rice.


For more recipes and tidbits please join me on my
Facebook Gluten Free Page:
https://www.facebook.com/SharingGlutenFreeRecipes



Cauliflower Rice

1 Head of Cauliflower (more or less depending on how much you need)
Remove the leaves and any blemishes. Wash and dry.
Cut the Cauliflower in half, remove the core
Cut into florets.

Place the bottom blade into a food processor
Fill about 1/3 with the Cauliflower
Do not over crowd
Pulse on and off until the Cauliflower resembles rice
If you over process it will turn to a puree
Remove each batch to a pan and continue with the rest of the Cauliflower

You can freeze the Cauliflower Rice at this point. Place into a ziplock bag removing the air.
Defrost the rice before using.

To cook the Cauliflower Rice
I sauteed it in a large Skillet
Melt about 2 TBL Butter or any Oil of your choice
Add the Cauliflower Rice
Season with: Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder to taste
Add  Parsley for color.

Cook the Cauliflower for about 8 minutes, turning it every 30 seconds or so until desired consistency.
You want the Cauliflower Rice to have a bit of a bite to it. If it is sticking to your pan add a little bit of water.

Use this Cauliflower rice as a Low Carb replacement for white rice. This also makes a wonderful Fried Rice.

Low Carb Cheese Buns ~ Gluten Free

Low Carb Cheese Buns ~ Gluten Free

In a large bowl mix together with a Spatula
400 Grams Grated Cheese, I used Sharp Cheddar
2 TBL. Psyllium Husk Fiber (Powdered)
2 tsp. Baking Powder

In a separate bowl Whisk together:
6 Eggs

Add the Eggs to the Cheese Mixture
Mix until combined with a Rubber Spatula

Let sit for 5 Minutes. This will give the Psyllium Husk a chance to get absorbed.

Spray Mini Aluminum disposable Pie/Tart Pans with Cookie Spray

Using a large ice cream scoop evenly measure out the batter into the Tins.
I place the tins on a cookie sheet lined with a silpat liner (My oven runs hot,, I did not want them to get burnt on the bottoms)

Bake in a preheated 350* oven
For 20-23 minutes or until Golden Brown.

Let cool for a couple of minutes.

Use a mini Metal Spatula or Butter knife to loose the edges. Remove the the tins and cool on a wire rack.

I made 8 larger Buns. You could also make them smaller and get 10-12 Buns.

These buns split easily with a steak knife. They hold up to burgers and other meats.
Use them as you would any other Bun.
You can also use the buns as a pizza crust!


You can also add any spices or herbs of your choice to go along with what you are making for dinner.

Facebook Gluten Free Page:
https://www.facebook.com/SharingGlutenFreeRecipes


Low Carb Almond Meal Hotdog Buns ~ Gluten Free

I used a Digital scale for accurate measurements

In the scale measure:
208 Grams Natural Almond Meal (I used Bob's Red Mill)

Pour the Almond Meal into a Medium bowl and add:
5 TBL. Psyllium Husk (Used the Powdered Husk and check the label for Gluten Free)
2 TBL. Ground Flaxseed Meal
4 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Salt
Mix with a Wooden Spoon

In the Scale measure:
300 Grams Greek Yogurt

Add the Yogurt to the dry ingredients along with:
4 TBL. Vegetable Oil (I have used Coconut oil as well)
4 Eggs slightly beaten with a fork

Mix with a Spatula making sure all the ingredients are combined.
Rest for 5 minutes.
This gives the Psyllium Husk time to absorb some of the Liquid.

Use your Rubber Spatula to sstir/fold down the dough.

To make the Hotdog buns take Mini aluminum disposable Pie/Tart Tins and shape them into
the shape of a hotdog. In my video I show how to make them. Spray each tin with Cookie Spray. Place a cookie sheet lined with Silpat Liners. I use the liners so the bottoms of the rolls do not get to dark.

Fill each Tin with the batter. I used a Cookie Scoop size 40 and place 4 scoops in each tin.
Use a small rubber spatula to spread out the batter.

Makes 7 Rolls

Bake in a preheated 350*
For 20-25 Minutes or until golden brown and done.

Remove for the tins and cool on a wire rack.

I sliced the buns on one side and put in a Hotdog and fillings of choice.
These buns are also great filled with Chicken or Tuna Salad.

They freeze wonderfully. Let them completely cool then wrap individually in plastic wrap then place in a ziplock bag.


The Tins can be re-used. I soak them in soapy water, rinse and air dry and stack them together.

ENJOY!!

Pour the Batter into a Sprayed 9X5 Loaf Pan

Use a wet spatula dipped in water to help spread out the batter.

If you do not like a particular Seed you can leave it out and increase another seed. If your Seeds are very salty cut back on how much salt you put into the bread.

This bread freezes beautifully. After is has completely cooled, Cut and wrap each piece in plastic wrap individually and place in a ziplock bag.

These rolls are best served warm. I reheat them in the Toaster Oven for a few minutes.

ENJOY!

Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Recipe is on the back of Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread Mix

Dissolve enclosed Yeast packet in
1-1/12 cups warm water (110*)
I always add a teaspoon of Sugar so I know the yeast is active
Mix with a Fork and let sit for 5 Minutes to Foam

Place the entire package of the Mix into a Stand up mixer with a Paddle.

Add:
¼ Cup Oil
2 Eggs, room temperature. You can get them to room temperature quickly by placing them in a bowl with warm water. Takes about 5 minutes.

With the Mixer on low speed,, blend all the ingredients until smooth. Scrape the Bowl. Turn mixer to medium and beat for 15 seconds or until mixture thickens to a cake batter consistency. Scrape the bowl.
Beat another 10 seconds.

Pour the batter into a greased 9X5 nonstick pan. Smooth the top of the bread with a wet spatula.
Cover the bread with Plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray and place in a warm place to rise. Rise for 45-60 minutes or until the dough is level with the top of the pan.

Bake in a preheated 375* oven for 60-65 minutes. I use a digital thermometer,, inserted into the center of the bread when it reaches 205* the bread is done.
I covered the bread the last 15-20 minutes of baking with foil.

Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 Minutes.
Remove and completely cool on the wire rack before you slice the bread.
For a Soft Crust I brush with melted butter and Cover loosely with a tea towel.

I use a Meat Slicer to make even slices of bread or use a bread knife. This bread freezes beautifully.


ENJOY!!

(***FOOTNOTE***)

You can use the recipe below for Homemade Gluten Free flour mix
or buy a Pre-made Gluten Free Flour Mix
If your using a Pre-made Gluten Free Flour Mix check to see if it has Xanthan Gum,
if it does then you do not need to add Xanathan Gum to the Recipe.


Gluten Free Homemade Flour Mix for:
cookies, muffins, bars, brownies cakes, quick & yeast breads, rolls, buns and biscuits
I got this recipe at the Gluten Free Expo.


2 1/4 Cups Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Brown Rice Flour
1/4 Cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Potato Starch
2/3 Cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Tapioca Starch
3/4 Cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Sweet Rice Flour

Measure all the ingredients into a container. I used a spoon to lightly mix it together then put the cover on and shake well.
(Making sure its a tight fitting cover)

The original recipe called to add 2 tsp. Xanthan Gum
I did not do that, I like to add mine to each recipe individually.

I've checked the internet and I have seen that many people use this mix so I don't know who was the original person who made the recipe.

6 Drum Sticks or Thighs: Wash, remove any excess skin and dry with a paper towel

In a Ziplock bag add and give it a good mix:
4 Tbl. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbl. Balsamic Vinegar

Salt and Pepper
Fresh Minced Garlic
Onion Powder
Tuscan Spicy Garlic (A spice blend of Garlic, Sea Salt and Chili) or any other spice of your choice

Remove the Seeds from the Lemon and cut into 8 wedges and add to the bag

Kale, Sweet Potato & Butternut Squash Pizza with Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese ~ Gluten Free

This is my Copycat Version of Trader Joes Kale, Sweet Potato & Butternut Squash Pizza with Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese.
They do not make a Gluten Free Version. I bought Trader Joes frozen pizza and cooked it for my Husband and he enjoyed it.
I read the package to see what ingredients they used. Here is my Gluten free Version.

Kale, Sweet Potato & Butternut Squash Pizza with Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese ~ Gluten Free

Make Bobs Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix
Link to Video for Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust
http://youtu.be/6P2u5B-4pnM

Pizza Dough ~ Gluten Free
1 Pkg. (16 oz) Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust ~ Whole Grain Mix
1 ½ cups Warm Water 110*
2 Eggs
2 TBLS. Olive Oil
Yeast Packet (Enclosed)

Pre-heat oven to 425*.  Preheat a pizza stone for 30 minutes
Using a KitchenAid Mixer with a Paddle.
In the large bowl of the Mixer combine water and yeast.  Add 1 tsp Sugar. Stir/whisk to dissolve. Let sit for a 5 minutes.
Mix 2 eggs (Room Temperature)  and the Olive oil ~ Add to the water  ~ Yeast mixture.
Blend briefly with the Paddle of the KitchenAid Mixer.
Add the Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix using the paddle and blend about a minute. Scrape the bowl. Leaving dough in the bowl, split the dough in half. Using warm water on your hands will make it easier to manage the dough. Cover with Plastic wrap and a towel. Rise for 20 minutes.
Grease 2 Pizza pans. My pans are 12”. Using wet hands, spread out the dough to cover the full pizza pans,, making an edge/crust.
Bake on the pizza pans without toppings for 10 Minutes.
Remove from oven.


Toppings for Pizza:

Wash and Dry:
2 Large Sweet Potatoes. Cook in the microwave until done. (Not Mushy)
Cool, then remove the Skins.
Slice into: Straight Cuts, sprinkle with Crushed Black Pepper

Defrost 12 oz. Package of Butternut Squash
Remove the wrapper and squeeze the package to remove excess liquid. Place into a bowl and stir.


In a Skillet add Extra Virgin Olive oil, enough to coat the pan. Heat over medium High, Add:
2 Medium Sliced Onions
Cook until caramelized, add Garlic to taste and cook 1 minute.
Add to taste:
Salt and Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes (Optional)
Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
Cool the Onion mixture

Clean 1 Large Bunch of Curly Kale and Dry on a kitchen towel.
Pick off the leaves, remove the Stems, any large pieces cut up. Place into a large bowl, sprinkle on Salte and Pepper.
Sprinkle some Extra Virgin Olive Oil, just enough to coat all the Kale Leaves.
Add the Onion Mixture and toss around.
Let marinate for 1 Hour.

After your Dough has risen: (see full instructions for the pizza dough http://youtu.be/6P2u5B-4pnM)
Spread out the Pizza Dough onto 2- 12"Greased Pizza Pans
Cook your Pizza dough alone for 10 Minutes in a preheated 425* Oven.
I place 1 Crust onto a rimless cookie sheet that I dusted with cornmeal (Or use a pizza paddle)
Spread ½ of the Butternut Squash (thin layer) across the pizzas with a small rubber spatula.
(I do one pizza at a time, because I only have 1 Pizza Stone. Remove the second crust from the pan and cool on a wire rack so it doesn't get soggy)
Top with half the Kale Mixture
Top with half the Sweet Potato straight cuts
Use a vegetable peeler and peel Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese into Shaved pieces
Place the Shaved pieces on top of the pizza, use as much as you would like.

Place the Pizza back into the oven onto a preheated Pizza Stone. Sprinkle a little bit of Cornmeal under the Pizza Crust to help slid the pizza onto the stone.

Bake at 425* for 20 Minutes or until done.
Remove from the pizza stone and place on a wire rack. Brush the edge of the Crust with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Add some more shaved Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese pieces (as much as you would like)

Slice and Serve.

This Pizza freezes wonderfully. Completely cool the Pizza on a wire rack. Place back onto a Pizza Pan and cover with Plastic wrap.
I defrosted my Pizza and Re-heated on a Hot Pizza Stone until the Pizza was hot.

Gluten Free Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Coffee Cake:
Using a Stand up Mixer with a Paddle: Cream together until fluffy
½ Cup Butter; Room Temperature
½ Cup Granulated Sugar
Scrape down the bowl

Add: and beat in
2 Large Eggs; slightly beaten with a fork
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Zest of 1 Lemon

In a Medium Bowl Whisk:
1-1/4 Cup Gluten Free Flour Mix (I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 for 1 Baking Flour)
½ tsp Xanthan Gum (If using BRM 1 for 1 Mix then you do not need to add Xanthan Gum)
1 tsp. Baking Powder
¼ tsp. Baking Soda
¼ tsp. Salt

Remove the Bowl from the Mixer
Using a Wooden Spoon Stir the Flour mixture into the Butter mixture (Batter will be thick)
Add to this mixture using a Spatula:
½ Cup Plain Low-fat Yogurt

In a small bowl add:
1 Cup Frozen or Fresh Blueberries, toss with a little bit of Gluten Free Flour, this will keep the berries from sinking to the bottom.
Gently fold in the Blueberries into the Batter with a Spatula

Streusel Filling/Topping
In a small bowl mix with a fork:
½ Cup Brown Sugar
1 tsp. Cinnamon
½ tsp. Nutmeg
1 cup Chopped Walnuts

Spray and Flour an 8” Square Baking Pan. Pour half the batter into the pan. Sprinkle with ½ the Streusel. Top with remaining batter. I found using a small metal spatula helped to spread out the batter.

To the remaining Streusel add ¼ cup plus 2 Tbl. Gluten Free Flour and 2 TBL Butter. Mix with a fork or fingers until Crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of the batter.

Bake in a preheated 350* oven
for 50-60 minutes or until a digital thermometer inserted into the center reaches 205*

Cool cake in the pan on a wire rack. Serve the cake from the pan.

ENJOY!

Gluten Free Bisquick Ham and Cheese Muffins:
These tasty muffins are super easy to make using Gluten Free Bisquick.
They are a family favorite! ENJOY!!

In a Medium bowl slightly whisk with a Fork
2 Eggs

With a Wooden Spoon stir in just until combined:
3 Cups Gluten Free Bisquick Baking Mix
1-1/3 Cups Milk
4 TBL. Vegetable Oil
Batter will be thick

Fold in with a Rubber Spatula:
1 Cup Shredded Cheese, You can use any cheese of your choice; Example: Cheddar, Mexican Blend, Swiss, Mozzarella
1 Cup Chopped Ham

Spray a 12 Muffin cup tin with Cooking Spray.

Using an Ice Cream scoop evenly measure out the Batter.

I find that there is enough to get 13-15 muffins. Rather than dirtying another muffin tin I use a Ramekin dish,, spray with cooking spray and add the remanding batter.

Take more Shredded Cheese and sprinkle some on each muffin.

Bake in a preheated 400* oven
For 18-20 Minutes or until golden brown

The Ramekin dish took the same amount of time to cook.

Remove from the pan and place on a wire rack; serve right away. These muffins freeze wonderfully. After they are completely cool, wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and place in a container in the freezer. When ready to serve, microwave the muffin on a plate for 30 seconds or until warm.

These Muffins taste great with softened butter.


You can also cook these as drop biscuits any size of your choice. Just cook them until they are golden brown

ENJOY!!
