Mini cherry crumbles-Gluten Free of course!


Aren't these mini crumbles cute? These are for dessert tonight and I think they might need
a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. They were super-easy to make, and if you have Jules
Gluten Free Flour or another all-purpose flour you are set!


The filling goes in the shells after they have cooked 10 minutes and then the remainder
of the crumble goes on top of the cherries. They cook another 15 minutes. Be sure to spray
cupcake tins first with PAM and they will scoop right out after they have cooled.

RECIPE FOR GLUTEN FREE MINI CHERRY CRUMBLES

Preheat oven to 350 and grease muffin tins

1 can cherry pie filling or other fruit filling

Mix:
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup GF or regular flour
1 cup oats

Add:
6 T. melted butter and stir

Press enough crumble into the bottom and sides of about 9 muffin cups
and leave a little crumble to sprinkle on the top of the cherries

Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes then spoon your filling into each shell and
sprinkle the remaining crumble on top of each cherry mound

Bake again for 15 minutes or until the top is golden

Let cool for 20 minutes in tins, then cut around outside with a knife and
carefully remove to a cooling rack.

GF Banana coconut crumble muffins


These "muffins" turned out really good. They are "muffins" because they are almost cupcakes. What is the difference anyway? These are made with butter and sugar, but I feel like the bananas and coconut add a little fiber and nutrition-so that's why they are "muffins". Once again, I'm amazed at how awesome Jules GF flour is. I was expecting flat-tops and I got puffy little mounded muffins! So cute! Jules has yet to disappoint.


By leaving some of the banana diced instead of mashed, you get little chunks of yummy banana in every bite.

Summer Dessert: BBQ Brandied Peaches 'n Cream (GF of course!)


I know! Peaches on the BBQ! What a delicious and easy way to use those tasty summer peaches. I was trying to come up with a gluten free dessert to make for Matt's parents who are in town. I thought about a cobbler, a pie or even a crisp. Then I thought about how much work I would have to do to make batter or dough. But since it took me so long to look up recipes, I had basically timed myself out of being able to make anything. Then I saw this recipe on Food Gawker. Of course I made a few changes, because I'm lazy and forget what I'm supposed to do. The peaches were really good and better topped with Haagen Dazs. (Isn't everything?)

First you slice the peaches in half and remove the pit. Then you dip them face down in a mixture of brandy and honey, then dip them into a mix of brown sugar and cinnamon. This is the peaches ready for the grill.


Here are the peaches post-grilling ready for ice cream. Aren't they pretty?


BBQ Peaches: How To

There really isn't a recipe per se, just ingredients thrown together. Here's what I did:

Drizzle on a plate: Honey and Brandy- enough to coat the face of all your peaches

On another plate: 1/4 cup brown sugar mixed with 1 t cinnamon.

Dip halved and pitted peaches into honey mix then brown sugar.

Make sure grill is REALLY clean. You don't want old charred chicken bits sticking to the peaches! Then spray PAM so they don't stick.

Grill peaches face down first for 3-4 minutes (depending on how ripe your peaches are)
Flip over and grill face up for another 3-4 minutes or until a knife easily drops through. You want it soft enough to eat with a spoon. We had our grill at about 350-375.

Sooo good with vanilla ice cream! Enjoy!

Gluten Free Coconut Key Lime Pie


Key lime pie has always been a favorite of ours, but once we became a gluten free household, it was something we had to say goodbye to. I always knew I could probably whip up some graham crackers from scratch...Yeah right. So when I finally found GF graham crackers online I ordered 4 boxes right away. Kinickkinick foods...You are my hero. These graham crackers are pretty good as a cracker. But crumbled up and combined with coconut, butter, sugar and almond flour for a crust...Divine.

Recipe for GF Key Lime Pie

Crust:
Crumble or mash one box of GF graham crackers, or about 1 cup
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup chopped coconut
1/4 cup sugar
6T melted butter

Stir all together and pat into tart pan or pie dish

Bake at 350 for 12 minutes-allow to cool several min. before pouring filling in

Filling: (From the Nellie and Joe's lime juice bottle)
1/2 cup key lime juice
3 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Mix well with beaters and pour into baked crust

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes

Chill several hours or overnight before serving
