Author: Lyndsay Baker

Recipe type: Keto Pumkin Dessert

Cuisine: American

Serves: 9 Bars

Ingredients

For the Pumpkin Filling:
1½ Cup Canned Pumpkin
1 Egg
3 Tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
2 Tbsp Sweetener
(I used this one)
1 Tsp Cinnamon
For The Dough:
2 Cups Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
3 Tbsp Cream Cheese
2 Eggs
½ Cup Almond Flour
¼ Cup Coconut Flour
2 Tbsp Sweetener (divided)
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1 Tsp Baking Powder
½ Tsp Xanthan Gum (optional)
1 Tsp Butter (to grease the pan)

Instructions

Pre Heat oven to 375 F. Melt the shredded mozzarella and the cream cheese in a frying pan over medium heat. (This step can also be done in a microwave) Remove from the heat, then stir the melted cheeses until they’re well combined. Using a mixing bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, sweetener and eggs to the cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
Melt the butter then use it to grease the sides and bottom of a square baking pan. Press ⅔ of the dough into the bottom and slightly up the sides of your pan. (only an inch or two up) Using a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap on top, makes it easier to press it out.
In a small bowl mix the pumpkin with whipping cream, sweetener and cinnamon. Mix until well combined. Then spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the dough. Break the remaining fathead dough into small bits and sprinkle it over the pumpkin mixture. Mix ½ Tsp of cinnamon with 1 Tbsp of sweetener. Then sprinkle it on top of the bars. Bake 20 -25 minutes.
Note: Make sure to use Pure Pumpkin Puree. Canned Pumpkin Pie Filling has Wheat Flour in it!

Gluten Free Vanilla Pudding Cookies

Gluten Free Vanilla Pudding Cookies

These Soft and Chewy Gluten Free Vanilla Pudding Cookies are The PERFECT Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie!!!! These Tried, Tested and True Cookies are Loaded with Chocolate Chunks and Subtle Vanilla Flavour. The Best Part is, These Incredibly Easy-To-Make Cookies can be Made in Under 30 Minutes!

To make these delicious Gluten Free Vanilla Pudding Cookies, you use a large mixing bowl to mix the margarine with the white sugar and brown sugar. Then stir in the Pudding Mix and the egg. Then mix until it’s well combined. Stir in the rice flour, potato starch and baking soda. Then stir in the chocolate chunks. Using a spoon make 1 inch balls and place onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 -12 minutes. Remove From the pan immediately.

Gluten Free Vanilla Pudding Cookies

These soft and chewy Gluten Free Vanilla Pudding Cookies are really easy to make. I always use margarine instead of butter, when making cookies. That and the Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix are the Secrets to the Perfect Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies! If you only have butter on hand, it will work too. Just be sure to combine it with the sugar extra well. These Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies will stiffen up if left out but putting them in an air tight container will make them soft and chewy. I use 70 % Cocao Chocolate Chunks but you can use whichever Chocolate you prefer.

One of the reasons that I use rice flour in most of my recipes is because its so inexpensive. You can find it for $1.00 a bag at Asian Supermarkets or in the import sections at Larger Grocery Stores. It’s also very versatile and doesn’t have a weird after taste like a lot of other gluten free flours do.

Note: Rice Flour can vary from brand to brand. I’ve found that measurements can be different depending on the brand you’re using. The Thai brand which has red writing on the bag is ground finer and can take more than the Indian rice flour that I get at Superstore. Both brands work wonderfully but there is a slight difference in the measurements, as I mentioned. Because of this, I like to add the flour a little a time until the consistency is right.

If you’re looking for another delicious Gluten Free Recipe for the Holidays, try these delicious Gluten Free Blueberry Cheesecake Tarts. They’re made with an easy to make Gluten Free Shortbread Cookie Cup Tart and are topped with a light and fluffy No Bake Cheesecake Topping. They’re sure to impress even you non gluten free friends and family.

Two Bite Cherry Brownies

Gluten Free Two Bite Cherry Brownies

Two Bite Cherry Brownies

My family loved having these Rich, Chocolatey Gluten Free Two Bite Cherry Brownies as a treat to celebrate Valentine’s Day. They’re incredibly soft and are reminiscent of Black Forrest Cake which happens to be my all time favourite Cake. They’re the perfect for treat for Brightening Someones Day.

The best part about this recipe is it’s so Quick and Easy to Make. All you need is a Mini Muffin Pan, Brownie Batter and 24 Cherries. I used frozen Cherries because they’re out of season at the moment and I already had a bag of them in the freezer. I found the frozen ones worked well and are also much cheaper than fresh ones. The best part is they’re already pitted. If using fresh Cherries instead, you have to pit them first which can be a bit messier and more time consuming.

This recipe for Two Bite Cherry Brownies can also be made as a Flourless Brownie. This makes them more of fudge like texture. I added a Half of a Cup of Rice Flour to make them a little bit Firmer and Cake like. If you like you could switch the Rice Flour for Potato, Corn or Tapioca Starch.

Gluten Free Butter Tarts

December 7, 2017 by officially gluten free 2 Comments

Gluten Free Butter Tarts

For years I made homemade Butter Tarts for Christmas Gifts for my family and friends. Every year they would happily put in their special orders before Christmas. Some liked raisins, some liked theirs with no pecans and others wanted extra pecans. I think there’s something special about making homemade gifts for people, rather than buying them. They appreciate it so much more and love getting exactly what they chose.

Pie crust can be a little challenging to make but if you take your time and keep mixing it, a lovely dough ball will form. When I’m rolling the dough out, I press the sides back in as I go. I will do a few rolls with the rolling pin, then press it all tightly back together again. Then a few more rolls, and so on. A trick That I found very helpful, is to use a piece of parchment paper or a thin plastic mat to roll it out on. It makes it much easier to get the crust really thin and helps a lot if you need to flip the crust into a pie pan . One more important factor in making great Pie Crust is keeping the dough cold. Placing the dough in the fridge for half hour before rolling it out and again for 10 minutes before the filling goes into it, helps keep the crust nice and flaky but not too dry.

Some People like raisins in their Gluten Free Butter Tarts. I didn’t add any to this recipe but if you’re fond of them, you could add them in. Just soak 1 cup of raisins in hot water for 10 – 15 minutes. Drain them, then pat them dry. Add them into the brown sugar butter mixture before adding to the tarts. My husband and I love Pecans on our Gluten Free Butter Tarts but my son isn’t fond of them, so I made a couple of plain ones just for him. He was so glad I did. If you’re not a fan of Pecans you could try using Walnuts instead or just leave them plain.

Gluten Free Butter Tarts

Since going Gluten Free I haven’t been making Butter Tarts. My old Gluten Free Pie Crust was just too crumbly for a tart. A few months ago I made a delicious Gluten Free Butter Pie Crust that actually holds up and I have been dying to make these Gluten Free Butter Tarts with it. It’s been years since I’ve had one and these Gluten Free Butter Tarts didn’t disappoint. The Light and Flaky Butter Crust is a perfect match for the Sweet Buttery, Butter Tart Filling. These Tarts are seriously addictive.

Gluten Free Butter Tarts

Ingredients

For the Tarts

2 Cups Rice Flour

1 Cup Potato Starch (Tapioca or Corn Starch)

3/4 Cup Butter

1 Tbsp Sugar

2 Egg Yolks

1/4 Cup Milk

1 Tsp White Vinegar

For the Filling

1/2 Cup Butter

1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar

2 Eggs

2 Tsp Vanilla

2 Tbsp Heavy Cream

1/2 Cup Pecans

Directions

1. For the Crust – Cut the cold butter into the flour, starch and sugar, mix until well combined. (I use my hands and squish the butter and flour together until a crumbly mixture forms)

2. Add the egg yolk, milk and vinegar. Then mix with your hands pressing it into the bottom of the bowl and kneading it like bread dough. The dough seems a little to dry at first but keep mixing it and a firm dough will form after a few minutes.

3. Place the dough in a disc shape, wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for 1/2 hour.

4. On a lightly rice floured piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough. If the dough breaks or cracks just press it back together with your fingers.

5. Use a large round cookie cutter or a large cup or bowl to cut out circles in the dough. Place the dough circles into a muffin tin. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes.

6. Preheat oven to 400 F.

7. For the Filling – In a small pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add the sugar, then stir until well combined.

8. Remove from heat, then add the eggs, cream and vanilla. Mix well, then fill the tarts 2/3 full. Place a few pecans on top of each of the tarts. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes. Let the Gluten Free Butter Tarts cool completely before eating.

Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies

Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies

My son and I had a blast making these Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies. The dough holds together well enough that he was easily able to roll it out himself. He absolutely loved getting to cut the cookies out and make his own shapes and he especially enjoyed helping me ice them. He was beaming with pride as he told his dad about it when he got home from work. It was the perfect activity to do together to kick off the Holiday Season.

These Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies are incredibly light and unexpectedly soft. They’re not too strong tasting. Traditionally, people add cloves to their Gingerbread Cookies but I don’t really like them and at $7 a bag, (when you only need 1/2 a Tsp) I just couldn’t justify it. I decided to leave it out and I’m glad I did because they tasted perfect. If you prefer to use cloves in your Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies, just add a small amount along with the Ginger and Cinnamon.

One of the best things about these Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies is that, they’re so easy to make. They dough is really pliable and easy to work with. So easy that a 9 year old can roll it out with ease. The dough doesn’t stick to counter and keeps its shape in the oven.

When decorating cookies it’s important to use Royal Icing, which hardens as it dries. If you use regular icing, it smears when stacked or touched. To make Royal Icing just mix Powdered Sugar with Egg Whites and a splash of Lemon juice.

Separate the icing into smaller bowls and add desired food coloring a few drops at a time until you get the color you need. If you add a lot of food coloring to get a really dark color, you may need to add a little more powdered sugar to get your desired thickness. You’ll need to ice them somewhat quickly because the icing does harden as you go.

Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies

When making Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies it’s key to keep the dough cold. Place the dough in the fridge for a few hours or overnight before rolling out. Then return the extra dough to the fridge between rolling out and after you’ve cut out the shapes. This will help them keep their shape while baking.

Note: Rice Flour can vary from brand to brand. I’ve found that measurements can be different depending on the brand you’re using. The Thai brand which has red writing on the bag tends to be ground finer and can take more than the Indian rice flour that I get at Superstore. Both brands work wonderfully but there is a slight difference in the measurements, as I mentioned. Because of this, I like to add the flour a little a time until the consistency is right.

3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap in a disc shape. Then place in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight.

4. Preheat oven to 350 F.

5. Roll out dough on a well floured counter. Keep the unused dough in the fridge until needed. Return the scrap pieces to the fridge again before rolling out again, as well. Cut out shapes using desired cookie cutters. Place the cookies onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, then place in the fridge for 10 – 15 minutes before baking.

6. Bake for 7 – 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool before removing from the pan.

7. Let cool completely. Then prepare the royal icing by mixing the powdered sugar with the egg white and lemon juice. Mix until smooth. Separate into smaller bowls and add desired food coloring a few drops at a time until you you get the color you need. Decorate as desired.
