The BEST banana cake!

For this post, I’ll point you directly to the recipe author’s blog: Karina-s Frosted Banana Cake.

This cake is delicious and so MOIST! I really think that the almonds give it such a wonderful texture! I didn’t make the frosting for it, we ate it just bare naked, as we aren’t big frosting fans in our home.

Fabulous, bare of frosting, for breakfast; along with some eggs for protein.

Enjoy!

Apple Blueberry Crisp

fruit mixture:

  • 2 cups diced granny smith apples
  • 1 small package of frozen wild blueberries
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. gf vanilla
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Mix all ingredients together and let marinate while you work on the crisp part.

Crisp mixture:

  • 3/4 cup of all purpose gf flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill)
  • 1/4 cup of millet flour (I ground my own millet)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup of coconut oil (solidified)

Mix everything but the coconut oil together well.  Then cut in the coconut oil with a fork or pastry blender.

Pour fruit mixture into a greased 9×9 dish, and spread crisp mixture on the top.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour.

This was a HUGE hit at Christmas!  It will definitely be something I will make over and over again in the future!

Chocolate Mousse

  • 1 bag (12 ounces) or 2 cups GFCF chocolate chips
  • 1 package (12 ounces) silken tofu

Melt the chocolate chips. I melted them in the microwave at 40% power, stirring every 30 seconds until creamy. Drain the tofu of its water. Combine chocolate and tofu in food processor. Blend until smooth, takes several minutes. Chill in the refrigerator for at least a few hours before serving.

I made this one for Christmas, a yummy treat for me and Joshua that’s GFCF and therefore safe! Yum yum! This is quite the learning process to make yummy foods that are something that everyone would like, even those who aren’t GFCF.
