Eggless, Gluten Free Honey Cake Using Buckwheat and Coconut Milk Recipe. Originally posted here: http://elrasbaking.blogspot.com/2012/09/vegan-gluten-free-honey-cake-using.html?showComment=1346864585541
Ingredients
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/4 rice flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamoms
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown rice vinegar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 ℉.
  2. In a medium size bowl, mixed together the following dry ingredients: buckwheat flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, cinnamon, ginger, cardamoms, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Mix using a hand whisk. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl add honey (or maple sugar), turbinado sugar, brown sugar, coconut milk, canola oil, and brown rice vinegar. Using a hand whisk, mix until well blend.
  4. Pour this mixture into flour mixture, mix just enough to blend the ingredients together.
  5. Spoon into prepared cup cake paper molds.
  6. Bake in the middle rack for 15 to 20 minutes (depending the size of mold you are using). Or, until cake tester inserted in the middle comes out with a few crumbs cling to it.
  7. Remove from oven, and cool for a two minutes in the molds, then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely. Just before serving, drenched the cooled cake into cinnamon sugar if desire.

 

As you can probably guess, I would use coconut oil instead of the canola oil.

Also, I agree with the author that coconut milk is the best (Almond milk is also good, but unfortunately, I am allergic to almonds!! 🙁 )

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut Butter Cookies brings back lots of childhood memories for me.  My mother made them often and let me flatten the balls of dough with a fork.  I was raised in the generation of stay-at-home moms (aging myself now!), and Peanut Butter Cookies were a frequent after-school snack for me.

Unlike the cookies I grew up with, today’s featured recipe is Gluten Free Peanut Cookies.

Gluten-free vegan peanut butter cookies


Makes around 20 cookies

1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup Doves Farm GF plain flour (or ordinary flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup (around 130g) peanut butter

1. Preheat the oven to 180C and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
2. Mix the flours and baking powder together in a bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, mash the banana well, then stir in the peanut butter until well combined.
4. Tip the flour mix into the peanut butter and banana, and stir together to form a dough.
5. Break off pieces of dough and roll into balls about 1″ across. Place on the baking tray and flatten with the back of a fork.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.

I love this recipe because it is not only Gluten Free and Vegan, but because it is sugar free!  Also, I like the idea of using buckwheat flour.  I personally find buckwheat a bit overwhelming in cookies, but with the peanut butter, it sounds ‘just right’!

Protein in Gluten Free Flours

Vegans, especially, tend to watch the protein level of the foods they eat — at least I do!  One way to deal with this is to use gluten free flours that contain high levels of protein.  But which ones are higher in protein?  Carla from Gluten Free Recipes gives us a list of the many high protein flours and how to use them in your menu planning.

Gluten Free Flour

High Protein Gluten Free Flour

Gluten free flours that contain high protein are: bean (fava, chickpea/garbanzo, garfava, and soy), pea, quinoa, gluten free oat, sorghum, millet, amaranth, teff, buckwheat, Montina Pure Baking Supplement, potato flour, nut flours, chia (introduce into diet slowly), and flaxseed meal. ... Learn the characteristics and protein levels of high protein gluten free flour and how to use them in your gluten free baked goods.
