Gluten Free Banana Bundt Cake

By

On August 19, 2024

In Baking Recipes, Cake

This was a good way to use up a few bananas instead of making bread or muffins. I put a simple glaze on it to make it more cake like, but it would be good with just butter or cinnamon sugar.

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened or ghee
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup coconut sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 mashed banana
3/4 cup of milk or coconut milk + 3/4 tbs white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/4 cup oatmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a bundt cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the butter or ghee, applesauce and coconut sugar. Add the eggs and stir. Add the bananas, milk, sour cream or yogurt and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine the flours, flaxseed, oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
Add to the butter mixture and mix.
Add to the bundt pan and bake for 45 – 50 minutes. Let cool.

Glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon milk of choice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and drizzle over the cooled cake.

1/4 cup buckwheat flour

3/4 cup jam or preserves of choice

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray with non stick spray or line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.

Pull out about 3/4 cup (a little less than half) of the cookie dough and refrigerate. Dump the remaining dough into the prepared pan and press it down into a flat even layer.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and carefully spread the jam on top of the cookie base. Take the reserved cookie dough from the fridge and crumble it over the top of the jam layer. Return to the oven and bake for 15-18 more minutes, until the topping is light golden brown.

In a large bowl, mix together the butter, coconut sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

By

On December 21, 2023

In Baking Recipes, Cookies

These are my new favorite low sugar chocolate chip cookie recipe. It uses buckwheat flour which is low glycemic, so it won’t raise your blood sugar high like regular flours. Buckwheat flour can be a little tricky to find in stores. I usually buy Bouchard Family Farms buckwheat flour in Hannaford. It looks like Amazon has a bunch of other buckwheat flour options though.

2 tablespoons butter or ghee
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 egg
1/2 cup Buckwheat Flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips, I like Aldi’s Belgian dark chocolate chunks

Preheat oven to 350.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or grease a cookie sheet.

Soften the butter or ghee.
Stir in the maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla and egg.
Add the Buckwheat flour, flaxseed, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
Fold in dark chocolate chips or chunks.
Drop by half tablespoons onto the parchment paper.

Bake for 10 – 12 minutes.
