Gluten-free Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies | Texanerin Baking These healthier chocolate peanut butter brownies use ground up oats in place of flour, making them gluten-free and 100% whole grain! This recipe really gets around. It first appeared on Dashing Dish, then on Sally’s Baking Addiction (did you know that she makes a lot of healthier recipes?! Well, she does :)) then again just recently on Butter Baking and I couldn’t stand it! I had to make these. Natasha’s version uses half the sugar the other versions do but then I went and did something not so healthy. I love how intensely chocolaty these are. One thing to note is that I used an awkward sized pan that was slightly smaller than 8″x8″, meaning the brownies in the pictures are slightly thicker than yours will be. Have a great weekend everyone! Prep Time: 10 minCook Time: 23 minReady in: 33 minYield: 16 brownies Ingredients Directions Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).

Healthy Cookie Dough Dip If you received an email from Pinterest saying I didn’t want you to pin my recipes, this is NOT true! I am so sorry for this and have no idea why they would send such messages out! Please accept my apologies… I’m so honored when people pin things from my site or follow my Chocolate Covered Katie Pinterest Board. Healthy Cookie Dough Dip… it’s like an unbaked form of those popular White Bean Chickpea Blondies. I don’t know about you, but when I make the blondies, quite a bit of the raw dough gets consumed in the process! But will “normal” people like it? Often, I’m unsure if a recipe with which I am in love will be a hit with the general population of people who aren’t used to healthy food. The following is directly from my About Chocolate Covered Katie page. I refuse to believe one must give up delicious food in order to be healthy… Healthy food can taste incredible when it’s prepared the right way. I brought this healthy cookie dough dip to a party. Something amazing happened… Ingredients

Almond Flour Biscuits (GF) These grain-free biscuits are delicious topped with butter, raw honey or homemade jam. Almond flour is a good source of protein and is high in dietary fiber, vitamin E, calcium, riboflavin, copper, zinc and magnesium. If you’re living grain-free/gluten-free, it’s important to choose nutritionally dense options such as almond flour and coconut flour, in contrast to baking with gluten-free flours that contain nutritionally-poor ingredients like white rice flour, tapioca flour and potato starch. The only drawback is the cost, as blanched almond flour can be quite expensive. For a classic-looking biscuit, scoop a large spoonful of batter into your hands and roll into a ball about the size of an apricot. P.S. Looking for more scrumptious blanched almond flour recipes?

Cornbread {using almond & coconut flour} I’ve never done this before, but I’m going to try it this year—cornbread dressing. But first I’ll need to bake a grain-free, gluten-free cornbread. I thought a little longer than usual about how to title this post. Like the mashed potato posts, the title “Cornbread” is somewhat misleading. This recipe is for cornbread, but there’s no hint of corn anywhere in it. So I’ve tried to change my expectations. Almond flour happens to make a great base for cornbread, even when it doesn’t contain a single grain of cornmeal. It’s a slightly sweet, slightly salty, slightly buttery version of cornbread. You can also turn this into brown butter cornbread by browning the butter in a pan before adding it to the batter. And if you like your cornbread to have a slightly grainy taste, as if you were using a medium grind cornmeal instead of a fine grind, cut the milk in the recipe by about half (reduce to a 1/4 cup). Ingredients Method Makes 9 or 16 servings when baked in an 8-inch by 8-inch pan.
