Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits w/glaze (almond flour)

The kids really like this recipe for almond flour biscuits that I have.  They said it almost tastes like a cookie.  I'm guessing the sweet from the little bit of honey in the recipe makes it taste nice and sweet like that.  So then I thought, what if I added some raisins and cinnamon, make a glaze and turn this little treat into a breakfast food.

Well the kids loved it again!

Cinnamon Raising Biscuits w/glaze

2 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup coconut oil (or other butter replacement)
2 eggs
1 Tbsp honey
1/4 cup raisins
1 tsp cinnamon

In a bowl combine the almond flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda.
In a small bowl mix the coconut oil, eggs and honey.  Stir the dry and wet ingredients together until a nice dough is formed.  Lastly mix in the raisins.  Sprinkle some almond flour on the counter top surface.  Place the ball of dough on the floury surface.  Flatten with your hands.  Use a jar or cup to cut out the round biscuits and place on a pan.  Cook at 350 for 15 minutes or until they are browned on the bottom and edges.

For the simple glaze mix powdered sugar with vanilla almond milk, until a glaze like consistency.  Pour over each biscuit before serving.

Fried Chicken (Almond Flour)

Fried Chicken made with almond flour.

My son requested me to try making my own Fried Chicken for his birthday.

So here's what I did.

2 cups almond flour
salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs
chicken drummies

Mix the almond flour with salt and pepper.  Whisk the eggs in a shallow dish.  First dip the chicken leg in the egg, covering completely.  Then roll in the almond flour mixture until evenly covered.  Warm a pan with oil.  Fry chicken turning occasionally.  Done when the juices run clear, or chicken is at cooked temperature.

Next time I might try adding some corn flakes or rice crispies.  Something to give even more crunch to the chicken.  But it was pretty good.  The kids loved it.  That's the most important thing!

Bacon & Egg Biscuits

This was a quick and easy supper.  Well I guess it's a more traditional breakfast food, but we had it at supper time!

Bacon cooked
Eggs
Almond Flour Biscuit

Cook your bacon.  Fry the eggs, trying to keep them as circular as possible.  Click the link to see my recipe for almond flour biscuits.  Or use your own biscuit recipe.
The biscuits do not raise very much, but the worked for me in the biscuit.  Feel free to roll it out thicker though if you want them to be taller biscuits.

Apple Crisp (Almond Flour)

Apple Crisp (Almond Flour)
2 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmet
1/3 cup grapeseed oil (I used olive oil)
1/4 cup agave nectar
1 Tbsp vanilla
5-6 medium apples, peeled and sliced.

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.  In a smaller bowl, combine the oil, agave and vanilla.  Stir the wet ingredients into the dry.  Place the peeled and sliced apples into a 9x13 baking dish.  Crumble the topping over the apples.  Cover and bake at 350 for 50 minutes.  Remove the foil and bake another 10 minutes.

This was good.  But I might experiment with a couple things next time.  Like.... Honey(Agave) and sugar are interchangeable.  So I'm going to be a little more traditional and put sugar in my topping next time.  Plus I might beef it up with a couple more apples.  Then sprinkle a little extra cinnamon and sugar over the apples with a dash of lemon.  I guess I'll have to check back and compare the two for you all.

Cinnamon Raisin Rolled Biscuits (Almond Flour)

I had my doubts about these,  but in the end they turned out great!  Check it out... of course there's a little tweaking from my recipe compared to the source....I just can't leave a recipe alone.

There's just enough difference between these and regular cinnamon rolls to not 'just' label them rolls. Hence the long name.

Yumm-o-licious!

Cinnamon Raisin Rolled Biscuits (Almond Flour)

3 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
2 Tbsp honey
2 room temperature eggs

filling
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
raisins

Combine the almond flour, salt and soda.  In a small bowl mix the coconut oil, honey and eggs. *You want them to be room temp so they don't harden the oil.  Add this to the flour mixture and mix well until a nice 'dough' forms.  This is stickier than 'normal' dough.  Sprinkle your surface with a little almond flour before rolling out the dough.  Then roll to a 9x13 size or so.  Next sprinkle on a layer of sugar and cinnamon.  Put a layer of raisins.  You pick how many you like.  Then roll it up!  Cut into slices, between 1 and 1 1/2 inches apart.  Bake at 350 for 12-16 minutes.  Watch them, as ovens may cook differently.  You'd rather they look a little 'under' done instead of over done.  Eat them as is, or make an icing to drizzle over the top.

*She lists a different inside mixture.  Just because I'm gluten and dairy free doesn't mean I don't want to use regular sugar sometimes!  So I changed it, and it was wonderful! :)

Here's the icing we made.
1 Tbsp coconut oil (or like substance) softened
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp water (or milk substitute)

Place the coconut oil and vanilla in a bowl.  Add in the powdered sugar and water every, other blending in between.  If it's too thick you can add more water or almond milk to make it more of a runny icing instead of a thick icing.

Cinnamon Raisin Cookies (Almond Flour)

Cinnamon Raisin Cookies with Almond Flour

I did not follow the instructions on this recipe.  I don't know about you, but just because I'm eating gluten and dairy free doesn't mean I don't want to have sugar in my cookies.  And most of the 'new' cookie recipes I've been finding have been using honey, or something else instead of sugar.  Well I'm not doing it anymore.  This original recipe called for honey, but I didn't do it....no ma'am.  I used real sugar instead....but the first test cookie didn't hold together so I also added an egg white.  That did the trick.  For this batch anyway.  So here's the scoop.


1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg white
1 cup almond flour
2 Tbsp coconut flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup raisins

Mix together the shortening, sugar and egg white.
Add the flours, cinnamon and soda and combine well.  Fold in the raisins.
Scoop onto a pan and flatten slightly.  Bake for 13-15 minutes at 325 degrees.  Let them cool on the baking sheet before removing.
This makes a small batch.

Simple Almond Flour Bread

2 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 eggs
1 Tbsp agave nectar
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, salt and baking soda.
In a medium bowl, whish the eggs, then add the agave and vinegar.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry.  Scoop batter into a well greased loaf pan. 6x4 size.
Bake at 300 for 45-55 minutes on bottom rack of your oven.  Cook until a knife comes out clean.  Cool and serve.

(I only had a regular loaf pan size 9x5....so mine was long and thin.  I just sliced the bread down the middle and then cut it the opposite way to make longer slices instead of short skinny slices.)
I wouldn't say this was the best bread for sandwiches, but it was good for breakfast and it was always moist.  Add some jelly and it's a good snack, or side for breakfast.

Almond Flour Brownies

I will say these left a little something to be desired for me.  But once again the kids loved them!  I think the something to be desired is sugar.... :)  My sweet tooth just isn't playing along.  I'll find something yet to satisfy it.  You wait and see.

Almond Flour Brownies
1 cup almond flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 cup smooth almond butter (I used peanut butter)
3 Tbsp honey
2 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp melted coconut oil
1/3 cup dairy free chocolate chips (optional)

Prehat oven to 325.   Grease an 8x8 pan.  Add the almond flour, soda, salt and cocoa powder to a bowl and mix until well blended.  Add the eggs, almond butter, honey and coconut oil.  Blend until well mixed.  Stir in the chocolate chips, if desired.
Pour batter into the pan.  It will  be thick.  Bake 20-25 minutes.  Until a toothpick comes out clean.

Snickerdoodle Cookies (Almond Flour)

Almond Four Snickerdoodle Cookies

2 cups almond flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup coconut oil, softened.
1/4 cup honey
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 Tbsp sugar (or like substance)
2 Tbsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350.
Combine the dry ingredients in one bowl and the other ingredients in another bowl.  After the dry ingredients are well mixed, stir in the wet ingredients.  Mix until well combined.  Roll into small balls and dip the cookies in cinnamon and sugar mixture.  Place on a pan and flatten with hand, cup or fork.  Bake for 8-10 minutes.

I used my stoneware to bake these cookies.  She mentioned on her blog that she needed to double the metal pans to keep the bottom from burning.  I did not have that problem with the stoneware, I would even say with my stoneware they should have cooked a couple minutes longer.  Keep your eye on them.  Let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes before removing.

Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup

Cream of Mushroom Soup was a staple in my home.  But it's full of gluten and dairy.  So I found a way to make it without those things so I can eat it.

Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 Tbsp coconut oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 Tbsp minced onion
1 Tbsp coconut oil
3 Tbsp almond flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 1/4 cups almond milk, heated

Chop the mushroom, and cook for 1 minute with the coconut oil and minced onion for 1-2 minutes.
Remove from the pan.  Melt the coconut oil and add the almond flour.  Stir until well mixed, cooking for 1-2 minutes.  In the meantime put 1 1/4 cups almond milk into the micorwave to warm up for 1 minute.  Then stir in slowly to the flour mixture.  Add mushrooms back in, and stir constantly until thickened up.

This actually was really easy.  I was surprised by this.

Chop the mushrooms and cook with the coconut oil for 1 minute.

Remove the mushrooms and cook the coconut oil and flour until bubbly.

Heat the milk in the microwave first, then add to the flour mixture.  Stir in the mushroom mixture and stir continuously until it thickens.  About 3-4 more minutes.
