Gluten Free Strawberry Waffle Recipe

Gluten Free Strawberry Waffles:
Makes 4 Waffles:

2 eggs
1 1/2 cup Pamela's Bread and Pancake Mix
3/4 cup milk
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup chopped frozen strawberries

Separate egg whites from yolk. Beat whites into somewhat stiff peaks using kitchen aid. We find this really helps the waffles become springy and light.


Mix egg yolks, Pamela's, milk, oil, vanilla, sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Add whipped egg white and strawberries last, carefully folding in egg whites. Just barely blend the whites in with the batter so you don't lose any airiness.

Cook in waffle maker per your machine's recommended time. You can also add chocolate chips or other fruit in the place of the strawberries.

Gluten Free Golden Raisin Applesauce Muffins

Adapted from a glutenfreegoddess recipe. Literally the best recipe for GF muffins, ever!

I make six Muffins (for 2 people) in one muffin tin, generally to be eaten with a salad.
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix together:
1 egg
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream (low fat)
1/4 cup applesauce (note: you can use a 1/2 cup of either sour cream or applesauce if you are missing one of these ingredients).
1 cup Pamela's GF Baking and Pancake Mix
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg

When mixed add 1/4-1/2 cup (I just grab handfuls) of golden raisins. I also sometimes add dried cranberries.

Pour into lined muffin tin. I use a silicon muffin pan sprayed with olive oil. Cook for 20-25 minutes, until toothpick comes out dry. Muffins will be very moist. Let cool a bit and enjoy!

Mochi

We recently went to a GF cooking class at the local health food store, called the Merc, where the instructor introduced us to an interesting new food, mochi. Mochi is a glutenous rice (no, not bad gluten) which has been compacted into bricks. You cut it into small cubes and put it in the oven or in a waffle iron. As it heats up it expands significantly. Then you can stuff it or top it with a variety of things. I've been eating it for breakfast for the past week cooked on a waffle iron (which makes it look like mini-waffles) topped with cream cheese, cinnamon and honey. We are currently trying the Cinnamon and raisin version, but they've a wide variety of versions listed on their website.
Best of all, it's really quick to cook on the waffle iron (takes about 5 minutes I'd say) so it's easy for me to make while still mostly asleep.

The only one I'd be wary of would be the wheatgrass and mugwort flavored version, but quite frankly that sounds rather horrid anyway.
