Gluten Free Tips

All of our recipes are vegan, and therefore our gluten free recipes are vegan too. A lot of gluten free baking uses eggs to lift and bind which we can’t do.  So we use the egg replacers such as banana, flax, applesauce to bind and vinegar, baking powder and baking soda for lift.  Here’s what we’ve found baking egg, dairy and wheat free:

3. I find baking at a slightly lower temperature works better and helps keep things moist.

4. Gluten free baked goods don’t have the same shelf life as those with wheat flour. After two days I find they go hard (cakes). Cookies last a few days longer.  You can freeze and thaw as needed.

5. Xanthan Gum is essential to gluten free baking.  If you’re converting from a wheat flour recipe to gluten free add in 1/2 tsp of Xanthan Gum to help bind.

6. Banana is a good addition as it adds moisture (1/2 cup ripe banana mashed up)

7. There are a lot of good commercial gluten free flour mixes out there. Best to go for one that has a combination of alternative grains. I love Doves Farm.

Papaya and Rum Sorbet

Papaya and Rum Sorbet

Sorbet is pretty simple to make – it’s a sugar syrup with whatever flavourings you like.  This time we pureed some Papaya and added in some Rum!  It was too hot for our ice cream maker (!) so we popped it in the freezer and churned it by hand (large wooden spoon, do a folding […]

Vegan Blueberry Cobbler

Vegan Blueberry Cobbler

Okay – this is the Canadian in me coming out.   I don’t think I’ve ever see Cobbler as a pudding in a restaurant here, but I may be wrong.  It’s a great pudding, simple to make with any fruit you like. The topping is more of a scone texture, then cake (although you can top […]

Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream

Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream

It’s that time of year, and ice cream is the go to snack or dessert.  This is a super easy vegan chocolate ice cream – no need for an ice cream maker. You can pop it in the freezer and ‘churn it’ (use a stiff spoon and give it a few good turns – a […]
