Blueberry Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

These were super good! This recipe is modified from a recipe at https://www.afarmgirlsdabbles.com/chewy-chocolate-chip-cookie-bars/ to be gluten free and lower in sugar.

2 cups gluten free baking flour
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
12 TBS unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 cup honey
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 TBS water
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup frozen blueberries, I used Wyman’s wild blueberries

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 13 x 9 pan or line with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon.
In another mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar and honey. Add the eggs, vanilla and water. Stir in the flour mixture. Add the chocolate chips. Add the blueberries.
Pour into a 13 x 9 baking pan. Mixture may be thick and need to be spread evenly in the pan.

Bake for 20 – 25 minutes until browned.

Vanilla Cheesecake

In Baking Recipes, Cake

This is my go to cheesecake recipe. It’s quick and easy to make. It’s adapted from the cheesecake recipe in the Betty Crocker’s Diabetes Cookbook.

1 cup oatmeal
2 packages cream cheese, softened (softening the cream cheese will make it a lot easier to blend)
1/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups vanilla yogurt
2 TBS all purpose flour, I used Bob’s Red Mill gluten free flour

Preheat the oven to 300 F.
Spray a 13 x 9 inch pan with non stick cooking spray, or cover in melted butter. Sprinkle the oatmeal evenly in the pan.
In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
Add the yogurt and flour. Mix well.
Spread evenly over the oatmeal layer in the pan.
Bake for 1 hour. Turn the oven off and open the door slightly. Cool the cheesecake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 15 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Serve with mixed berries and whipped cream.

2 Tbs cinnamon sugar

Glaze:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar – I used 1 cup
3 Tbs maple syrup
2 tsp milk or 1 Tbs heavy cream

Bake 15 to 18 minutes. Combine the glaze ingredients.
