Making Panko Crumbs

Panko crumbs are coarse bread crumbs that lend a light, airy texture to breaded foods. Although I have found gluten-free panko crumbs at one local store, they are very expensive. Here is the method I use to make them at home.

Zucchini Blueberry Bread

My sister makes an amazing Zucchini Blueberry Bread and I got the recipe from her years ago. However, I have never quite been able to replicate a gluten-free version. Then to complicate matters, my oldest daughter developed an egg allergy. I am not sure if egg-free baking is always problematic, but I can assure you egg-free, gluten-free cooking is no walk in the park.

Rhubarb Muffins

You know it is spring when the rhubarb is ready. I realize not everyone loves rhubarb, however, if you chop it small and bake a slightly sweet cake or muffin, it is hard to resist.

Lemon Blueberry Bread

You know how those chain coffee shops have glass display cases full of enticing baked goods? Well, I got a glimpse of a blueberry bread with a lemon glaze and knew I had to create a gluten-free version.

So here it is. With lots of lemon and lots of blueberries, it’s a delicious quick bread that won’t cost you $2 a slice. And not only is it gluten-free, but I made it dairy-free as well. I think it’s the perfect quick bread. It’s super moist and flavorful, and the texture is perfect. Quite frankly, it’s one of my favorite gluten-free creations.

Pumpkin Bread

I love a good quick bread; part cake, part bread, and entirely delicious. And like the name implies, they are “quick” to pull together, typically without a trip to the grocery store.

Although banana bread is my go-to quick bread, this time of year I really enjoy pumpkin, so I was quite pleased with myself when I accomplished a perfectly moist, flavorful pumpkin bread last week. Okay, so I made two pumpkin loaves and I personally ate most of them myself, but that isn’t really the point.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

If there is one thing I love about October, it would have to be the pumpkins.

Pumpkin is the perfect ingredient in gluten-free baked goods, as it adds plenty of moisture and flavor; so your end product has the texture and the taste you desire!

Here is a kid-friendly muffin, perfect for a quick snack or lunchbox treat.They also happen to be egg-free and dairy free, but they definitely don’t lack flavor!

Yeast Tips

I think one of the hardest parts about eating gluten-free is the bread. At least at my house, our meals (especially lunch) had always been bread-based; without bread I felt somewhat confused and lost.

Gluten Free Pizza Crust III

I already have two other pizza crusts posted, but I kept trying recipes, and I must admit my family has a new favorite that I thought I should share.

That’s the way the bread crumbles…?

When I first started blogging, my oldest daughter had the idea that I have a regular series of “Friday Failures,” featuring all of my gluten-free baked goods gone wrong. Although, I agree this might be humorous, it’s also a bit embarrassing and depressing to announce food gone wrong on a weekly basis.

Cornbread Muffins

I wanted to make cornbread muffins the other day, only I wanted a savory version, with cheese and jalapeno peppers. I couldn’t find what I was looking for, so I combined an egg free recipe with a gluten free recipe, and voila! A great tasting, moist, savory cornbread muffin.
