Gluten Free Buckwheat Jam Bars

Monday, October 21, 2013


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2013 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




These gluten-free jam bars are so good and really easy to make too. I have used homemade pineapple jam for the filling, but you can use whatever your favorite jam or jelly. These bars freeze and travel well.

  • 120 g Buckwheat flour
  • 20 g Cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger powder
  • 1/4 tsp Fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Baking powder
  • 120 g Unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 50 g Light brown sugar
  • 1 Egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 40 g Blanched sliced almonds
  • 1 small bottle Pineapple jam
  1. Line a 20x24-cm baking dish with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, sea salt and baking powder.
  3. Cream butter and sugar with an electric stand or hand mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually stir in flour mixture and beat at slow speed. Stir in the almond slices. Reserve about 1 cup for the topping. Press the remaining dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  4. Spread the pineapple jam evenly on the dough. Cover the jam with the reserved dough. Bake for about 25 minutes until lightly golden brown. Cool completely and cut into slices.

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2013 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


This would be a fantastic chocolatey cake to make if you need a gluten-free sweet treat. You won't be disappointed. The cake bakes with the cooked quinoa instead of flour, and it can also be made dairy-free by using creamy almond or soya milk instead of buttermilk. It is moist, dense and rich that you won't believe it secretly healthy.

Stir until blended and all dry ingredients are moistened. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the middle of hot oven for about 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and cool in the pan on a wire rack before serving.

Amaranth Soya Protein Biscotti (Gluten Free and Grain Free)

Wednesday, September 25, 2013


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2013 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




http://schneiderchen.de | © 2013 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


Thanks to the distinctive sweet, nutty, peppery taste of amaranth and the higher level of protein and calcium, this biscotti is a power house compared to the traditional twice-baked cookies. Made with finely ground amaranth seeds and soya protein powder, lightly sweetened with maple syrup, it's healthy, easy and tasty.
Naturally gluten-free amaranth is a common name for a group of more than 60 species of amaranthus. Amaranth is a highly nutritious seed, which offers a complete form of vegetable protein. It is also a great source of dietary fiber, calcium, B vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, copper and manganese.

  • 130 g Amaranth seeds, ground into flour
  • 45 g Pistachio soya protein powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • 2 Small eggs
  • 2-3 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 tsp Almond extract
  • 40 g Almond slices
    Preheat oven to 160C/320F. Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
  1. In a large bowl, whisk the amaranth flour, soya protein powder, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and almond extract until blended. Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. The mixture is like thick cake batter.
  2. Scrape the mixture into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with almond slices. Bake for 20 minutes until set. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 150C/300F.
  3. Use a serrated knife to slice diagonally into 3/4-inch thick slices. Lay flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until browned. Flip cookies and bake for another 12 to 15 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
