Berry Crumb Muffins (gluten, dairy, corn, soy and refined sugar free)

-

I have been working hard these days trying to make a muffin that is gluten free, dairy free, soy free, refined sugar free but still moist and flavorful like the muffins I remember eating before going gluten free. I finally did it!! This berry crumb muffin is very moist on the inside with a nice crumb topping and is gluten free, dairy free, soy free and refined sugar free!

I make my gluten free rice flour blend in batches and keep it in a container and use as needed. This recipe for the flour blend was based on the measurements from Shauna at Gluten Free Girl.

I use 700 grams of Brown Rice Flour, 150 grams of Potato Starch and 150 grams of Tapioca Flour. Mix these together in a container and shake it up.

Now for the muffins!

Crumb ingredients
1 cup of almond flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons coconut oil
2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions
Mix almond flour, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Melt coconut oil over low heat on the stove. Add the coconut oil and vanilla to the flour mixture and mix until crumbly. Set aside.

Muffin ingredients
2 cups of flour mix (see above)
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
2 tablespoons of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup coconut oil
2/3 cup maple syrup
2/3 cup rice milk
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 cup mixed berries (I used frozen raspberries and blackberries but any berries you like will do)

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a 12 muffin pan with liners. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, xanthan gum, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, rice milk and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Fold in the mixed berries. Spoon into lined muffin tin. Top with crumb mixture. Bake for 26 minutes at 325 degrees. Let cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before moving to a plate to enjoy!

Jac's Gluten Free Bakery in Hicksville NY

If you are near the Long Island, New York area, you need to check out Jac's Bakeshop & Bistro in Hicksville. I went there for the first time 2 weeks ago when they opened and have been back many times since. We have sampled and enjoyed many items such as their bagels, sandwich bread, bistro rolls, crumb cake, pretzels, rainbow cookies and cupcakes. It is great that they are gluten free but what I love even more is that their products are natural, 100% whole grain, use organic unrefined sugars, all natural food coloring and are 80% organic. Many of their items are also dairy free, egg free and vegan. I have not had a decent bagel since going gluten free. I've tried some gluten free bagels but none of them were that good so I'd rather just not have them. Jac's bagels are amazing and taste just like a traditional NY bagel. The bistro buns were great fresh, but also great after being frozen and defrosted for later use. I now keep some in my freezer so anytime we nee...

Turkey Broccoli Bites

Image
I'm always looking for new ways to sneak veggies into a meal for myself and definitely for my kids. These turkey broccoli bites are the perfect meal paired with a nice big salad or as a snack anytime. They are kid approved! I know because I can barely keep them on the plate as they run by and keep grabbing them. I usually double the batch when making these because they also freeze good for another meal for a busy night during the week. Ingredients 1 lb organic ground turkey 1/4 cup pureed broccoli (I make a batch of pureed broccoli and freeze it in portions to use when needed) 1 egg 2-3 tablespoons gluten free bread crumb (you can use Jillians or Chickpea breadcrumbs ) 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt pinch pepper olive oil or coconut oil for cooking Directions In a mixing bowl beat egg and add all ingredients except for turkey. Mix well until all ingredients are combined. Add the ground turkey and roll into bite size balls or patties. Heat a large ski...

Interview on Probiotics

-
Interview with Registered Pharmacist John Azzarelli Anyone who knows me, knows that for years I had been dealing with digestive issues. It wasn't until about 2 years ago, that I really started to find out the things that were causing these issues. The first thing I removed was gluten and that made a world of difference! But, I still wasn't feeling as good as I should be. Then I met John Azzarelli owner of Dr. BWell Naturally in Plainview, NY. He is a Registered Pharmacist and Certified Nutritional Consultant. He is very knowledgeable in many areas of health, particularly Probiotics and Digestion. He had suggested that I had yeast imbalance. I never would have thought that the symptoms I had would be coming from my gut, itchy skin, sinus congestion, headaches, breakouts, and digestive issues. Once I followed his recommended regimen I felt like a new person!! No more headaches and sinus pressure, my itchy skin was relieved and my hair and skin never looked better! I...
